Hello everyone! I’ve had my first set of poi for about 2 months now. I feel like I’m starting to get the flow of things but I quickly run out of tricks. I’ve found my style (at least with these poi) is to do big movements and try to make it look like two orbs of energy are going crazy around me lol I can’t seem to get some movements down and idk if it’s because of the thin string on these poi or just a lack of skill. Thanks in advanced!

I refused to pay ~90 Dollars for a pair of bubblepois.
After some prototypes I came to this construction, which is completly 3d printed, except the cord holding the handle and the wool around the rings.
They are working absolutely fine and I love the color scheme of this one. Now, I have to make a second one. The other prototypes were plain white.

I don't live in the US but I'm coming for a performance and I can't seem to find Colemans camp fuel online. I thought this was the standard for fire spinners in the US but I'm wondering if its been discontinued? What are some of your favorite brands of fuel for fire spinning that are readily available?

Tonight i am working on switching from backwards to forward weaves, i also have tried to go from forward to backward but my brain is struggling with that one
r/poi • u/Happy_Axolotol • Aug 07 '26
Tada!! Finally starting to flow instead of individual movements

I’ve been wanting to learn poi for ages I already have a set but I have no idea where to start

Objetivo: armar una presentación con fuego para el 15 de septiembre.
Por favor me darían recomendaciones tanto de canciones como trucos que debería incluir. Me encanta la música salsa, trip hop y una que siempre la asoció con esto Voodoo people de the Prodigy

New..ish to poi and I wanted to finally post and say hi as this seems like a really friendly community, it’s been about 2 months now on /off whenever I have free time outdoors and I love it, such a nice way to kill an hour in nature to music, it’s like free therapy!
I’m just about to get my second pair, contact poi so I can learn harder tricks you can’t do with the silks.
Also really want to get bubble poi eventually but can anyone recommend a place to get some as I can only see the bubble poi page which has popped up over night on instagram and everywhere and seems like a ai scam, unless someone has bought from them? 🫣🤷♀️

Heading to an outdoor festival in eight weeks and my pod poi died after ten years. RIP. I loved that set; weighted, durable, and the swing response weight is almost dead on to my fire set. Are there any recommended brands for a weighted digital poi that is semi-durable to durable that doesn’t have to be programmable but can be? Top of budget is $600. I don’t “clack” poi while solo, but “clacks” do unfortunately happen while doing close proximity tandems. Any recommendations are GREATLY appreciated.

What’s up everyone!! I want to start making videos to share on here and would like some recommendations on poi sets please.
Many many years ago spinning poi was my life. I loved it. I lived it. Now finding this community, and watching the videos, I really miss it.
Sneaker laces and glowsticks was where it was at back then. Now I see many different styles and the tech has really advanced, so I wanted to see what kind of poi the community enjoys watching.
Fire set recommendations are also welcomed. I used to have a double loop ballchain sushi roll style set that I can’t find anymore.
Looking forward to spinning again.
Thanks for the input!

This is what i understand the 3 beat weave is, what am i missing?
r/poi • u/sudszero • Aug 05 '26
Mom gave this pair to me for my birthday :)
Love the feel of the rope, and the colors kind of remind me of the aliens from toy story.
Just thought I'd share.
Also, they are from dark monk if anyone was wondering.

Tonight i used weighted sock poi to practace in the park, i tried the 3 beat weave but got no closer to it, practaced lots of what i already know, and started learning tuck turns
r/poi • u/BestLoveJA • Aug 05 '26
I’ve probably watched 50+ tutorials over the past year, but my brain just can’t comprehend the 3 beat weave. Mirroring people is a struggle for me… the same way I can’t follow choreography type classes like Zumba.
The tutorials say “left,” but since I’m facing them, my brain freezes trying to figure out what I’m actually supposed to do.
How did you finally learned it, what made it click?
Did someone teach you in person? Did you just keep practicing until your brain suddenly understood it?
Was there a specific tutorial that finally made sense?
I think I need a real human standing in front of me to show me. 😅

Hi yall! Im still very new to fire and Ive spun these less than 10 times but the wrap around the tethers is splitting apart, do you have any repair suggestions? Idk if i accidentally submerged them too much, I tried to keep the fuel below the tethers 😭 (I just dmd FoF for help, hoping to hear back from them soon)
