ive been glowstringing for about half a year now.
im a proud member of GS.C
i live in GA
and i took my first try at fire poi last night. i had my own idea of how i could do it. it turned out horrible.
i thought it was a good idea to light the ball in a sock poi. it was all fine untill the ball went flying out of the sock.
but the first few seconds were it was still spinning fine were amazing. i just felt so powerful and proud of myself that i was actually spinning fire.
and so i came here. i want to learn more about poi specific moves. i know a hell of alot about glowstringing but glowsticks are alot more flexible than poi are.

"i want to learn more about poi specific moves"
Any maybe some fire-safety tips too
Hello and welcome to HoP.
There are very few poi-specific moves, though there are more than there used to be - mostly based on throws which get tricky with glowsticks due to lack of weight.
Likewise "glowsticks are alot more flexible than poi" - oooooooo controversial (Unless you mean in terms of bendy-ness...) - You'll find many a person here to disagree with you on that part; mindgames, string-tricks etc are all working their way into poi, slowly admittedly but it's starting to happen

Welcome to HOP
Go to HOP shop and get a set of fire poi. They come with a free safety video complete with HOP ppl.
Practice stuff with them unlit
. If the kevlar hurts when it hits you make a padded/ fluffy poi head cover to protect your valuable bits and simply play, like you probably did with the glo stuff.

Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?
