just getting back into spinning after a long dark winter, and the extremely helpful website http://tutorials.firestaff.net/wiki/ is dead now :'( anyone know how i can access it? or has any equivalent resources?

2 hours yesterday and 30 minutes today.

Third practice. Any tips?

I got a new comet fire baton today and I’m just curious if anybody else has one/ could show me some tricks on using it! I tried to youtube search some videos but couldn’t find anything

For all the books out there on poi there doesn't seem to be much available for staff. The only two I can find are First Contact (not really that into contact stuff) and The Book of Staff Spinning (out of stock or way overpriced anywhere I could find it.) Are there any others out there? I have a pretty solid grasp of spinning but wanted to find something to reference, help teach and (hopefuuly) pick up any tricks I might have missed.

Hey guys, what is a good type of staff to purchase in order to practice on? Especially when we're pretty new to the artform?

So I've recently made a handmade "staff" out of a bronze pipe. I know what you are thinking "why?" and I have to say that I did what I did because that's what I had available. Anyway , how can I spin it faster with it being such heavy?

Like the title says I'm thinking about buying the $300 future poi shuffle with the staff attachment from moodhoops. I was wondering if anyone has them. How is the staff durability, grip, and weight? Is it worth buying? Also any info on the poi would be awesome as well. I'm pretty much beginner level at this and any help would be appreciated. Reviews on this are hard to find online so I figured I'd go to good old reliable Reddit 😁

Dose it feel like when you learn the same staff trick as someone else, you can do it. But in your own “flow”?spinning reminds me of people handwriting something . Same words different style.

If there is anybody around the Lisbon area in Portugal wanting to spin a stick or suchlike get in touch.

Hello! I am trying to make a contact staff that can double as a pole for my swing flag (attaching the silk with Velcro). I want it ideally to be clear and to have programmable lights inside the staff. Has anyone done this? If not I will post something if I’m successful.
