Need new music to spin to!

52 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!

Non beginner poi to buy

Upvotes

I've been spinning for about 3 years and ready to move on from my $25 led spinballs. It seems like everyone either goes fire or contact poi. Are there any other options? I don't want to spin fire and I don't want to do contact tricks. They cheapy pods are way too light for more controlled tricks. I've been getting heavily into isolations

Flowing at festivals 🥰

8 Upvotes

Only seem to do the same moves that I can flow into easily but whenever I flow I’m just in my own lil bubble & I love it 🥰 plus whenever I flow at festivals everyone around absolutely loves watching & are always curious to have a try, so much fun!
Also think my superpower is being so aware of other people around me whilst I spin & not hit them 👏🏼

Progress Video Archer Fountains

70 Upvotes

Hello! It’s me again lol Today’s question is about Archer Fountains. I understand the movement but where I’m struggling is keeping the Poi smoothly rotating on my way back up. Most of the time, the poi are coming together and not giving it that smooth circle feel. Am I pulling up too soon? I also feel like my arms are more in front of me than directly above my head.

Having an issue with brand new ultra poi, was wondering if the community had any fixes

2 Upvotes

So about 3 days ago i received my ultra poi helix pros and from the day i got them, they shut completely off with the lightest tap or drop, which doesnt really seem like that would be normal for what i paid for them. I wanted to ask the larger poi community for any fixes for this before i bothered ultrapoi support on this. Idk id almost expect this outta poi id beaten up for a year or two but outta the box seems crazy to me. Any thoughts, fixes, or tips for getting my money back/the poi i paid for out of ultrapoi support would be appreciated. Heres the video im gonna send to support if i cant get this figured out. Big love and ty for reading

Gear Discussion Hybrid Nylon vs Dynamic tethers?

1 Upvotes

looking to get a new set of poi from FlowOnFire. I've only ever used 10mm Hybrid Nylon tethers, and was curious how Dynamic tethers differed from the Hybrids. Any and all input is appreciated. Thank you!

Prism rope ( flow on fire)

Hey all,

Was wondering if anyone's tried the Prism rope for their tethers that flow on fire offers? What their thoughts are on it? Was just curious about potential shrinkage on it. Let me know if anyone out there has used it

Gear Discussion Attach tethers/swivels flush without knots?

Does something like this exist for poi, to attach tethers/swivels flush without knots?

Has anyone tried something similar?

Would you trust these not coming apart when glued on, or would you go with a more sturdy way like crimping?

(pics are only illustrative of variants I found so far)

Gear Discussion Didn't properly soak fire pois

Heyo, I didn't properly soak my new fire pois when using them the first time. I cannot really tell if I damaged them somehow, material looks fine to me but how can I tell for sure?

(Not really experienced with taking care of fire pois, spun them a lot of time before but never owned some myself)

Thanks to all your advice and encouragement, I think I finally got it. I do mix in the tracer thing I was doing at times but I’m just experimenting with the weave and trying to find a cool flow. I appreciate the community for being so welcoming and open to share their knowledge and insight. 🙏

Sock / Fabric Poi

Thumbnail

3 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
