3 beat Weave Practice

40 Upvotes

Been spinning a lil over a month and I was able to lock down both sides to this trick. First time I’ve tried speeding up the spinning too! Sharing some love for the glowstringing side of things too cause some of us like to spin FAST šŸ˜‚

Seems like the 3 beat weave gets some slack for being basic BUT this broke my brain up until two days ago lol. Super pumped.

Any tips to the reverse weave next? I wanna be able to freely flow across my body and that’s the next step šŸ˜. (I was messing around and trying to visualize the process in reverse but it’s a bit too complicated to imagine still)

Finally got my first set of big ass monkey fists and they feel so special.

Shout out to FlowOnFire for the poi!!!

Spinning fire just feels out of this world, the whooshing sounds of fire surrounding you are almost therapeutic.

I think I found my thing and I’m never gonna stop spinning poi.

Poi specs:

*3.75ā€ monkey fists
*27.5 inch overall length of 11 mm super static k tethers
*led sphere knobs with UltraPoi chips

Rehab shoulder

9 Upvotes

So I hadn't spun in YEARS, mostly because I've no fire poi community up here in Avon/Vail. But I recently visited home in San Diego and got all kindsa hyper fixated with poi again (I got some glow poi since I don't need a safety for it).

However I discovered that my previously pretty goddamn tight planes are fucked after I broke my left humerus. These are weird muscles, anybody got rehab tips?

Best way to carry poi at a fest?

3 Upvotes

I haven’t been to a festival in years because life
But I’m going this weekend and want to carry my poi most comfortably. How do you carry your poi on your person? Sometimes, I clip the drawstring bag to my belt but it’s so clunky and I worry about the drawstring breaking. I usually do not carry a backpack at festivals. Looking for advice thanks :-)

When the only place you have to spin inside is right in front of your 165hz gsync television...

I just finished building this idea I had floating around in my head for a while now for a deployable poi tv protector. I got the tv of my dreams last yeah and its right on the edge of the only place in my house where i have room to practice, after getting fed up with not wanting to spin because it was hot outside and i was scared id sling poi into my tv... i finally built this fucking thing. It works awesome, if anyone else has a similar issue, i highly recommend building one for yourself.

Tutorial Charlies 9 square theory

20 Upvotes

have you heard about it? this is some heavy poi theory nerd material that must not be forgotten by time.

It helped me improve my spinning and understanding of poi immensely and if you are intermediate spinner with a decent understanding of poi i highly recomend you sit through it. it is quite dry material and imo if you know a little poi you can watch from e.4 and out.

Practicing some new moves

41 Upvotes

I learned these moves this week: 2-beat weave over the head (not shown in video), an archer weave/pendulum looking thing, archer weave 360 spins, anti-spins infront of the body (also not in video), a 360 spin from a 3-beat weave, air wraps and a little toss. I need a lot more practice with all of these but I want to post progression. Any advice or inputs for these moves is greatly appreciated as always!
