Red_RaveN Neo - Hippie Registered: 08/06/03 Loc: Sala, Slovakia	What do you think? This is what they look like.. From afar.. ..and the connection.. it's not kevlar;) just practice rope.. 1 cm wide I think.. and they are not as tight as they could be so I expect a bit less in size with kevlar. they are not really hard to do.. just tightening them up is a bit harder and you need at least 5 m of rope to make them if you don't want to leave any to waste. Think I should make me some? _________________________ Smile.. It confuses people..:) Wonders never cease as long as you never cease to wonder.

Mynci Macaque of all trades Registered: 27/04/05 Loc: wombling free...	they look cool, bet they would be heavy as poi... especially the amount of fuel they would soak up. _________________________ A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

I'd go crazy from braiding and tightening, not to mention I'd waste a hell of an amount of kevlar:) _________________________ Smile..

drvariety member Registered: 10/03/06 Loc: Mission viejo CA	Would it be possible to make longer chains (like 4 or 5) to create some kind of snake monkey fist hybrid? Those flames would be amazing! _________________________ There is nothing to be afraid of. Virtual reality will eventually rehabilitate your mind and eventually your body.

Red_RaveN Neo - Hippie Registered: 08/06/03 Loc: Sala, Slovakia	One poi is made.. one more to go.. damn kevlar shortage:) drvariety: it would be possible, as written above, just too difficult and unnecessary and expensive. _________________________ Smile..

Cody That guy from Reno Registered: 03/09/03 Loc: Reno, Nevada USA	Practical? No, but they look cool. They are creative and new. I can't wait to see how well they work! White Ravin said- "now that won't be much of a problem, nothing will be as heavy as my last poi:)" Are they bigger than these?
