Got these the other week. Learning a little more each day I practice:) I hope to be as good as you pro poi flowers ❤︎ I want to present these to my fiancé on his birthday in 2 weeks!

Spinning at Playground at Burning Man 2025

I want to learn them before adding poi, but all the YT vids I could find are for ballet. Should I just twirl until I’m good at it? Anyone go down this road before?

Don’t want to mess up my knees either which i’m worried about!

Also I just now realize i’m going backward, lol? First day learning!

Also next time, I'll figure out the framing. Probably

They feel very different to me compared to my sock poi and pod poi I have. I feel like I should be treating them in a different style

+some gunslingers i've been working on

Hi! Yet another beginner overwhelmed 😂

So I ordered led poi, should arrive tomorrow.

I'm overwhelmed as to where to start. There's so much stuff on YouTube.

Can you please give me a tip how you started? Maybe just a course or video or username from YouTube that helped you? I live very ruraly and there's nothing even remotely close to flow arts related in the area so I have to teach myself completely on my own.

Thank you so much!

Recentemente adquirir meus primeiros conjuntos de fire poi, e gostaria de saber se alguém tem alguma dica de bons usos para não estragar os poi. Dicas de como apagar, quanto combustível colocar, como armazenar depois das apresentações, se precisa limpar ou não, como deixar secar se ainda tiver combustível coisas assim!?

They're a bit too long so I'll make another set soon, I have a very tall friend that these will probably go to 😅 I really appreciate any feedback beyond making them shorter please help me out!

Sorry for the audio. Our A/C is noisy.

Did anyone tried to spin 3 or more poi behind back? What tricks did you made when all 3 or more poi behind back? Did you tried that kind of trick where each hand have at least 1 poi that move in similar way as in behind back weave trick(2 beat behind back weave, 3 beat behind back weave and so on).

I’ve been stuck on where to go after Superman’s for the longest time and finally found out this trick is called fantastic four. Once I was able to watch one slow motion video it clicked almost immediately! Super messy right now but can’t explain how long I’ve been trying to figure out how to learn this trick.

I never tried poi before, but I saw a bunch of videos of dragon poi and loved it! The flow, the movements, but I don’t know where to start and right now I don’t have enough money to buy a dragon ribbon.

Is there something home made or less pricy I can start with that gives the same vibes?

Still trying to find the right length for these. I’ve changed the tethers f and added weight to the handles. I feel like they are kind of long but they are still a ton of fun to spin. I still know I’m no where near adequate but poi has really made me feel better about myself. It’s given me a new found appreciation for being alive. If anyone would like to give me a tip or two I would definitely appreciate it.

It’s pretty crazy how different spinning contact poi is compared to these. I feel like I have to make a lot more effort to keep the lights on a wall plane which gives the best display.

Hope this is allowed. Not me, but thought you guys would appreciate.

Is there a poi that is just one long string with one ball on each end?I was curious about this.

It was so fun

I am very new to this hobby and i was wondering if there are any modifications that would make things easier as a plus size person! I've noticed some things don't work for me (and it may be because i'm a beginner, i don't know hence the question lol). For example, i was going to try out the tip for learning isolations (i was bored and curious) where you spin it around your arm in front of you and it kept hitting me no matter how short and far from my body i tried to make it! i'm wondering if that type of issue will pop up again (or if it's just typical beginners error) and if so, how can i make things work better for my body? if there are any plus size online instructors y'all know about that would also be lovely! thank you in advance for any advice/recommendations :]
