Oh I forgot about my ancient Astrojax that somone reminded me of last night. They brought it to practice and I was the ONLY one that knew what it was other than him! Those things were the for a small amount of time when I was a wee youngin.

At least they're not miyachi.

But the astrojax remind me, I need to make one of this toy that someone at my spin jam came up with. Theirs is just three tennis balls connected in an equilateral triangle by some cord. They haven't come up with more than a couple of things to do with it, but it's one of those home brew props I see and think there must be a way to make it awesome.

I think I posted on here before but my new an answer is going to be the following:

"Not enough."

No matter how many toys I get, I keep looking longingly at others. My appetite for play is unending! ^_^

I know someone in my spin group came up with this thing that so far I can use the best, but it's sooo awesome! It's like a hybrid of a rope dart and a meteor. It's basically a meteor with a long rope attached to the middle so say you were using it like a meteor, then you can throw it out and it keeps spinning and you yank it back and you can keep spinning it. Or you can also just use it like a rope dart. There are so many possibilities with it I need to make one!

What you need to make, is a video of it! ^_^

But I need IT first! I need some thinner rope! I have my old fire poi heads if I want fire and I have old practice wicks for it! I need some clothesline and some type of high tech insulation to keep me from dying in the harsh coldness of winter.

+1 pair of solid steel core practice monkey fist poi with spectra cables (thin cord that can support 500+lbs)

Also making another pair of contact poi soon trying out some Samson Ultra-Lite for the cords (floats on water like polypropylene rope, holds about a ton an the 1/4" diameter). What can I say, I'm fond of excess. And then I need to make a pair of swivelly contact poi... I hope Mr. Babache appreciates my business

So I have 3 3" Sil-X Implosion Contact Juggling Balls, and a bacci ball that my friend gave me. Its about 4 inch's and quite heavy, actually kinda dangerous at times lol.

S11: That first set sounds lethal as all heck....

Strangely, they are neither as heavy nor as painful to get hit with as my inner tube poi. The core is an eye bolt with a bunch of fender washers, but the cotton rope monkey fist actually pads it pretty nicely...

Just ordered new toys. A helix cross devil stick from Dube, and two 4" balls to make new contact poi.
Also have 2 sets of socks, 2 sets crystal poi with double mass, a dozen Flowlights, and 2 of every tube from 1L to 3.5L.

Xmas pressies: 2 pairs of new flowtoys (spirit and a custom green/white-purple I'm calling iris), tubes to make duos and a 6 light staff or baton.

I'm practising madly with the duos, so I can spin with them nye without braining myself or any other dancers.

Thanks for the info.....

My props.

There are still many things on my wishlist though, probably highest are juggling clubs.

nice collection. love the random bag of tennis balls. I thought they were for sock poi until I read the caption, I was like "that's a lot of sock poi you'll be making..."

so far I have:
- 1 pair practice poi (beanbag poi)
- 1 pair crystal cases + flowmass + colecord leashes and pro series handles
- 1 pair each of fire, water, & spirit flowlights
- 1 random pair of flowtoys handles
- a ton of extra colecord for future leashes

so not a lot. just got a raise and I'm thinking of buying either:
- moonblaze poi with twist link chain and medium wicks from firemecca
- contact staff rig from flowtoys + sol lights
- flowpoi duo rig + sol lights

not sure which I'll go for, so I'm mulling it over. any opinions are welcome!

I could make them into sock poi as well. Be better than most. Normal tennis balls are too light.

In terms of getting something new, I would suggest the fire poi, if only because you are already working on that. If you want to go into contact staff, it is fairly easy to make your own.

yeah, good point on the fire poi. that's what I was thinking too.

Contact staff, 2 double contact staffs, 2 normal double staffs, 2 glow staffs, old beaten up fire staff 3 clubs(borrowed from a friend), 5 balls, 2 diabolo and one contact ball, contact poi, fire poi, half a fire dart. I think thats all so far.

I get to add my new fire poi and my contact poi that I have to build still

Foxy socks, homemade socks, Flowlights w/ mass, HoP LEDs, 1 pair unused fire poi, flags, weighted practice tennis balls, multiple glowsticks, 2 pairs or fuzzy poi, multiple cords/chains, 2 hoops (1 pocket travel), ... I think thats about it currently

went through my whole flowtoys collection last night because I was missing a luna and wanted to make sure I hadn't just misplaced it. not only did I find the luna but I realized I am no longer missing a single part, not even a lowly battery! I am pretty amazed; at least one cap or flowlight or something is always missing.

right now I have two each of:
luna
sol
nebula
water
fire
earth
spirit
love
watermelon

and waiting for pickup at my apartment office tonight, I should have two each of:
air
LUCK <3

which makes for 22 flowlights. heh. and I have 24 batteries too (have to have at least two extra; I don't like switching the batteries in and out when I switch flowlights and I don't like running out of batteries before I can get a new pair charged)

also have:
3 crystal cases (they get yellow over time... they don't seem dirty though... I think it's just the material?) anyway, I like to have at least one extra at all times for when they start to obscure the flowlights a bit
3 flowmass (same thing)
like 6 o-rings? they're cheap so I got some extras
2 duo tubes, with flower and bridge caps
one set of flowtoys handles for the duo tubes, with colecord leashes
one set of pro series (HoP) handles for the crystal poi, with colecord leashes
one pair of 18" small monkey fist poi (firemecca) with twist chain
one pair of 25" medium moonblaze poi (firemecca) with twist chain
one pair of blue sock poi from HoP

and of course, various odds and ends like plastic bags (ziploc bags with a zipper are THE BEST for spinning off), funnels, and a big container for my fire poi equipment

I think that's it... maybe. I might be forgetting something.

yeah, I'm pretty much paying for the flowbaby's college fund.

Sounds like it.

I have not noticed a dimming by the yellowing of the crystal cases, just by the way.

hmm so your cases turn yellow too? good to know that it's nothing abnormal.

and I only notice a slight dimming on white lights, so it's not a big problem. I'm just a little OCD (without the D).

Yeah, it is entirely normal. Like I say though, I do not think it has any effect. I am sure Sean or Prisna could explain it if you asked them.

+2 puppyhammer
+1 rope dart
-4 (out of 6) inner tube poi (one recycled for rope dart, two for the puppyhammer... I can't actually recall what I did with the fourth one. Maybe it's only -3)
+1 pair contact poi (because I think I forgot to add my most recent pair)
-1 pair contact poi (the balls finally totally failed so I stripped them for parts).

Golly, I love props...

In current prop box:

1 set Contact Poi
1 set Cone Poi
4 Flowlights (nebula, fire) + double mass crystals
1 set Chain maille poi
1 set Cathedral fire heads.
5 mmx plus balls
5 rings
3 px3 clubs
1 kendama
2 isolation hoops/minis,
1 unicycle
1 slack line.

My current want list is 1 Nils Poll Bowler hat, 3 cigar boxes, Gossamer Angel Wings, kevlar monkey fists, 125mm stage ball for contact juggling, two 100mm stage balls for larger contact poi.

Now, I just need a little more time to play and money to buy... Will we ever be satisfied?

I doubt it. I am trying to keep my expenses regarding buying props down so that I can buy more unicycling stuff.
