Hello there everyone! I'm Becca. I'm 17 and I live in Aylesbury in the UK. I like playing the guitar, dog training and collecting fruit stickers.. just the normal stuff, y'know.
I started with poi about 3 years ago, when my dad brought back a pair from Thailand. Since then I've been practising on and off, but I'm starting to take poi more seriously now I've bought a £12.99 book about it- I want to get my money's worth! I would really love a pair of softer poi, the ones I've got at the mo are just tennis balls and they hurt quite a bit, probably because I'm crap and can't dodge them fast enough.
So that's me.. can't wait to get going over here!
PS. It's refreshing to see a board that doesn't show post-counts.
PPS. Marmite!

A way to make tennis balls softer is to make a cut in them so that they crush slightly on impact.
If you don't want to do that, you can make a set of sock poi! actually you should do that anyway! everyone should have sock poi!
get a pair of long socks, and stick something weighted in the other end; juggling ball, bag of rice (thats what mine is! lol!)

Birdseed also works. The stuff for the little birds, not the kind with sunflower seeds in it. Just don't get them wet, they'll start growing grass.
