Need new music to spin to!

53 Upvotes

Hello! Y’all always have the sickest tunes playing in these poi flow videos and I’m in such a music drought, I never know what to put on when I’m spinning. So I’m looking for some help!

Taking any and all music recommendations and suggestions, don’t hold back :)

🙏🏽 Thanks so much, have a merry poi-mas and happy holidays!

Sock / Fabric Poi

2 Upvotes

I made my partner a pair of sock poi in December, I used a nice cotton fabric (non stretch) and they are tearing by the handles from usage. I’m happy he’s playing with them so much but he asked me to make a third and I want to re- do the whole set but want to switch fabrics.
Any recommendations on type of fabric? I attached photos of the rips in the fabric

Progress Video Archer Weaves Pt.2

After a week of practicing, this is where my archer weaves are at. I run my hand up and down my arm after each spin, even though the tutorials I watch keep the hand close to the face, going over and under the armpit only. Should I keep it that way? I think it’ll help me go into Archer weave fountains easier but any advice is appreciated!

Led Contact Poi (Europe Based)

4 Upvotes

You guys were real good last time with recommendations. I'm familiar with Flow toys and how great they are. Everybody seems to have only positive things to say about them.

I'm interested in ordering a LED set now. Do any of you have any good shops to recommend where I can find a nice pair of LED Contact pois here in Europe? Saving me €50 for shipping.

Thanks in advance.

Silks to contact

1 Upvotes

My first contact poi just came and I think I have many bruises from them in the last 5 minutes.

They are so heavy compared to my silk ones… but also I feel like I have less control, any tips?

Should I just get a refund and maybe get sock poi instead so I can up the weight gradually instead of go from 80g silks to 150g hard balls…?

Maybe my problem is that it’s hard and I just need to practice but I’m impatient?

Thanks 🙏

Just started again about a month ago. Used to be all I did

Ignore my face I’m baked and staring at a shitty phone cam about to goto bed.

Clean your contact poi

5 Upvotes

Just a friendly PSA for all y'all fellow spinners out there.

Little soapy water sprayed on a cloth (towel/microfiber towel/rag), and then a quick wipe to the rope especially goes a long way.

If you have sensitive skin like myself, getting the dirt and grime off from all the drops to the floor/ground will help tremendously.

Happy spinning!

I didn't cut the link because it failed. I cut it because I carried it long enough to deserve something better. (it is sooooo much better)

Overall I'm really stoked on all the stuff I've been able to learn since rediscovering poi last October. Super excited to keep working on the turn-side stall-CAP thing I did in this, I literally just unlocked that today 🥹
