its when you have glow sticks on both ends of the string different colors on each end... then you do a wrap say on your arm after it wraps around once or twice then you let go of the handle end and quickly grab the other end of the string and un wrap and go back into whatever.. gotta be fast but it looks real nice.. you should then have a diffarent colored glow stick on the swinging end.

I think it's time for another crazy combo everybody!

while doing a forward butterfly to the right side of your bodyswing both poi inbetween your arms(so that they are spinning in opposite directions) and then swing them to your left side into a reverse Butterfly***that's easy enough but here's where it get's tricky***Instead of going back between your arms after the rotation of the reverse BF, wrap each poi around your left arm, recoil to right arm(so that you have a bouncing butterfly)now go back to left, but swing the right poi BTB, both wrap on left arm again and recoil, now back to right arm with left poi BTB.

You can choose to throw in single rotations between your arms if you like, but the way they bounce off one arm directly to the other in opposite directions looks awesome, especially if you can pull it off behind the back. ENJOY!

BTW, POZEE, i got your little joke as well [Wink]

And if you look at the combo posted above, you'll see that it is very possible to do a colorchanging (double)wrap(which is easier to do if you switch not only the color, but the poi itself from hand to hand) on each arm wrap even the BTB ones. It makes a nice continuous colorchanging bouncing butterfly. Very choice for us experienced wrappers.

First off, hello All! I haven't been around much, but god have my poi skills been growing while I have been away.

Secondly, you CAN do colorshanging wraps done with fire. I spin 3 colors of fire: bright ungodly orange, green, and soon blue, as well as regular fire color. Any wrap that can be done with a glo-stick can be down with fire, and once you have multiple colors of flame, you can do colorchanging wraps. I've worked out a couple really simple ones so far. Once you have the wrap worked out fairly well, the flame isn't in contact with your skin very long at all. You can wear longsleeves and long pants while you are first working them out, but I'm to the point where I rarely make an effort to cover the skin I will be wrapping.

It CAN be done, and SHOULD be done. As often as possible [Smile]

tracer,
are you telling me that you spin poi with a blazing ball of green fire as a handle? and that you can easily grab the other end that is on fire and not have any consequences. do you have 3 inch thick callouses on your hands...

my signayure move for staff requires flex, i go down on my knees and then lean back till my head is on th floor whilst doing a normal circal in front and then above my body. i then throw the staff up away from me a catch it a few times.
as for poi you lot have some really sick moves mine is not as good. i have the poi spining forwards and then step forwards and bend down so my hand hit the ground as the poi are at the highest point in there rotation, i then continue doing a front flip so i end up standing on my feet. if you get the timing right then the poi should never hit the ground, and it looks like you are rotating around two firery points in the air.

Well, I guess that wouldn't technically be fire-BREATHING, unless anyone here is a push-me-pull-you...

Alright, my sig move that i've pulled off a couple of times now goes like so: (sorry if it's already been done and all that jazz)

shorten your strings by wrapping around your hands, then do a reverse butterfly. Put the butterfly between your legs and switch it forward butterfly (so you are now doing a forward butterfly between your legs. From here do a forward summersault, all the while keeping the poi spinning. you are now on your back doing a forward butterfly. Now kick one leg up and wrap both poi around that leg. Now you're on your back doing a reverse BF. Swing both legs up to make a 'V' shape and wrap the right poi on the right leg and the left poi on the left leg. Use the momentum of your legs on the way down to jump onto your feet and do the atom. So now you're standing doing the atom. [Razz] WHEW!

...Did that make any sense???
