So my flowpoi are due to arrive tomorrow hat wud be the 1st basics?

So my first poi, other than the sock poi I made and that look err unbalanced, arrive tomorrow (flowpoi duo). What basics as a complete noob shud I try first?

take it slow and easy with them (they aren't super deadly but they will hurt more than sock poi if they intersect your face)
try out basic turns, buzzsaw and butterfly to start off

Ta muchly. Any more news on your workshops?

I would agree with the saw and the flutterby, those were some of the first things i learned, along with the 2bw or 1bw, whatever it was.

i'm going to be back in glasgow next week so gonna look at getting them going again by mid feb I think
just need to get a new venue sorted, the church hall I was using is closed for renovation

What about QMU up the West End, or Woodside Halls?

I suggest butterflies, weaves and work on your planes alot, the planes are the base for everything

New toys here and assembled fire at handle end luna at other end. Nice FEDEX man had dropped them through my letter box which is great as the nearest depot is at least 45 minutes away
