Sweet thanks for the advice guys. I'm thinking I'll call the airline and check that I'm OK strapping the sticks to the outside of my pack and then put the wicks in the pack somewhere. Think I might also use a couple of old staffs in case the worst happens! I was just a bit nervous because I know you're not supposed to take used camping stoves through. Guess its going to be hard to detect anyway!]]> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 01:46:35 NZDT http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/934627/make_a_practice_contact_staff.html#Post934627 Posted by decca:

Just so you know, practice staffs are pretty tricky for contact as they are generally quite light to prevent damage when you hit yourself (as you will when learning) if you learn contact with a light stick you'll be able to do it with almost anything but may take a bit longer. They lack weight on the ends which keeps the staff momentum up at lower speeds and when learning contact you don't want it moving quickly towards your face :lol: added weight helps even out the bumps and jumps a staff m]]> Sun, 10 Jul 2011 09:03:00 NZST http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/930660/tossing_up.html#Post930660 Posted by EmmCeeeFF:
if you are struggling to throw from Fig 8's then you can always start in rotor and throw. Start with small throws. MCP has a few throws on her site... http://mcp.tepookatoys.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=140&Itemid=32 There :) Good luck!]]> Fri, 01 Apr 2011 12:10:22 NZDT http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/926038/Help_Choosing_a_first_staff.html#Post926038 Posted by Mynci:
20mm should be thick enough. I would neer use collapsable as points of weakness mean the staff may not be perfectly straight and thats what's needed for contact. Just get a big ol' staff bag or didgerdoo or fishing bag to carry them around. Tube width is not normally a major issue, if in need drop the site a mail to ask, most are normally pretty helpful and can give you the specifics you need if you explain why you want them.]]> Tue, 30 Nov 2010 20:45:09 NZDT http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/923210/Samjiegun_moves.html#Post923210 Posted by Zekajunguy:

after hsving tried one last summer,the only staff I want is a Gora. they're close in weight to a Trick Concepts staff, but sexier somehow with those flower ends. Apparently they're also the same staff that Linda Farkas uses.]]> Sat, 25 Sep 2010 17:05:50 NZST http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/922186/just_started.html#Post922186 Posted by poismylove:

All I have to say is...WOW, I never realized it would be as amazing as it was. Got a video of the first Burn and a few pictures of the 2nd, did about five or six total throughout the night. I could and want to do this every single night, it felt so wonderful.]]> Tue, 14 Sep 2010 06:00:41 NZST http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/920591/Contact_Staff_Weight.html#Post920591 Posted by EddieGoJam:
