learn poi

I also made up cute combination of butterflies in front, back and behind my head.
And, thx to tomeoftones, I found the way to turn while doing 3 beat weave forward, and still going with 3 beat backwards.
And windmill! Just as simple as that, but it looks awesome.

Burn, burn, fire, fire, fire!!!!!!!!

(Did U watch Beavis and Butt-head?;)

Me and my friend decided that we will burn ourselves to death in August. Can’t wait.
Also, I’ve been recorded while dancing with poi and it is great way to improve your skills and get rid of possible mistakes.

Can anybody explain to me how to do 3 beat fountain? I’ve been watching homeofpoi video like thousand times, and it does not ring any bell.
help!

I’ve mastered 3bit weave. I’ve also learned corkscrew, a bunch of butterflies, and I love doing hip reels. I have my home-made sock poi, but I like using that heavy set I’ve started with. I can feel my whole body working.
I’ve done some digging through the internet and I’ve found sth called veal poi or voi. I’d like to have one of those, but I cant figure where to put weights, and how heavy should they be.

I went out to the forest with a bunch of friends, and while we were lighting up fire one of them showed me a few tricks. Nice! He let me play for a while, and what i have learned? I can do butterfly and 3 bit wave (but only forward). I’ve ordered my own pair already, and as soon as I get it I’m off outside:)
BTW, it hurts as hell! My friend had doubled-balls poi. It is heavier, I have bruises and cracked skin all over my legs. Goddamn it, its f* sexy!
;)
Wish me luck!
