in my opinnion any move looks good with lit poi , (execpt the screw up and the set yourself on fire) just experiment, ( but not too much ok?!)

Actually I think the simple weave and it's variations look pretty awesome. Then again as tigercub just said, I think pretty much anything looks great. Go by what your audience says (i.e. louder cheers = move you'll wanna do again)

hey,
lil risky but wraps on fire tend to get a reaction...make sure ur wearing a set of demim jeans an leg wraps an stuff will be easy...has to be on the surface for some tyme befor it will burn thankfully. Arm wraps can be done but u wanna make sure dey are coverd with sum sort of (damp!) material. These a lil more risky tho cause der closer to ur face .
Good luck with your spinning, the sounds the best bit of fire in my opinion anyway

i you want to learn new moves, such as the buzzsaw just search through these forums.

i think the main thing to remember when using fire is to make it look smoooth and controlled. make sure the poi are allways doing what you want them to do.
