We (Fire Mecca) make a few pretty good staves:
Contact/Regular
Doubles
BlazeLink Fire/Glow/Practice
The BlazeLink system is a modular system that you can make all sorts of fire tools out of. I pretty much only use BlazeLink these days, because of…
It was cool. I don't think it's a weave because there was no winding but it's no matter. I'm to the point where I learn something from every video I watch.
How did you first get into fire / glow arts, and how long have you been involved?
My friend found a group in Boston called the grasshopper collective and she started learning poi and eventually fire hoop. There is like 30 of them. Come to find out I stumbled upon about 200 fire performers in the Boston area. They used to do performances on my roof all the time. Assuming I couldn't do it just sat and watched. I don't know what changed, but I just remember practicing. One day I got the three beat weave while hanging out in the middle of nowhere NY and I've been hooked since.
Tell us about your life outside of fire / glow arts...
I'm really into music and art. I'm supposed to be an engineer, but I'm not really. I do programming though... I'm into finding truths and exploring reality. You know what I'm sayin'.
Ohh. Ok. I'll admit that the fluffy poi don't have a lot of weight to them, and sometimes keeping them from flopping on their cord is a problem... Thanks so much! I guess I'll see tomorrow if I have any appropriate socks..
I have fluffy poi from Home Of Poi, and they're not exactly heavy or hard, it's just that I keep hitting the same spots over and over again trying to get the weave going.
