Sounds like a lot of fun.
If you're in the NYC area, definitely let me know, I'll gather the fire people around and see if we can have a big spinjam. :D
Derek: completely true. I went to a goodwill and they had an entire box of leggings from Target. I cut the leggings to make 2 socks, filled each one with one cup of rice, and tied them off. They RULED. Seriously, they had the perfect amount of stret…

At 2:44 Ronan does 2 variants of the antispin wall plane spiral flowers.
It look simple, but really kinda messes with your head once done in practice, I'll try to put some kind of video up about the t…
yeah, that one fried my brains for a while.
A lot of it really depends on what kind of handles you use, since in Wall plane with the poi spinning in the same direction (lets say they're spinning clockwise), the poi in your right hand begins the spi…
I think I know what you're talking about.
Either you mean 2 handed-spiral wraps with your hands moving in a circle to make it either inspin or antispin - OR - you mean the single-handed spiral wraps that was popularized by Ronan
I think if you cla…
For glow poi balls that I've used in socks, I've thrown smaller sandbags, or things like hackysacks ontop of the poi in the sock.
It's significantly added more weight, and because it was in the sock it was kept in place ontop of the poi, and not ac…
Monday night, Union Square, we gots our pois and we gots our musics.So we gots our flows.Haha, it was a beautiful night with the snow falling - but not stick...
Yeah, I've heard only good things.
And as stated on that thread you linked, you should try calling them and saying you're a fire performer and you'd like to try their fuel - there's a potential 6 free gallons of the stuff, and free stuff is awesome.…
I believe you're talking about Klean Heat. It's supposed to be like Lamp Oil without the smoke, making it good for indoors. It's also supposed to burn at a lower temp than white gas, and burn as long as Lamp oil - which sounds awesome to me. I haven…
How did you first get into fire / glow arts, and how long have you been involved?
I first found out about poi through the cyberdog clothing website about 5 years ago when they were selling cheap glow poi. I googled it, and came up to the home of poi website and have been an avid spinner for the last 4 years.
Tell us about your life outside of fire / glow arts...
I'm an industrial/electronic music DJ, as well as a producer. I'm building an in-home studio for my own use, as well as a cheap alternative for local struggling artists who can't afford 150$ an hour for mediocre quality recording.
Lota stuf on flowtoys; not sure where2start. Been yrs since glowstix on string, but been messin w/ old pair of flag poi(not sure weight). Since this'll proly snowball into fire poi I figure I want sumthin that best simulates the weight..do u kno the average poi head weight? I seen a pair of led poi (balls not crystals) on chain w/ 2finger loop..but I'm wonderin how effective led toys are in learning fire poi. I figure when I wanna start I'll get a suitable pair of fire poi & practice unlit. What would u recommend?
