Hello! Nice to meet y'all.
I've been spinning for about a month, however I'm noly using Tennis balls ATM.. *sighs* I know a bunch of people who spin, and I go to this wonderful place called Pennsic every year. I just HAPPEN to hang out wiht the jugglers and fire twilers, and htings. https://www.geocities.com/ldyaileen/amanda.html------------------"I like the stars. It's the illusion of permanence, I think.

Heya to you, from the other HOP newbie
Mind you, I wish I had thought of using tennis ball poi when I had first started..oh.. the bruises.. the bruises...Neurotic 9 posts

I have actually not gotten any bruises so far... it like, oww, this hurts, then it goes away. My dad actually put my tennis balls in a drill press type thing to make perfect holes in my tennis balls, and had a special piece of metal to string them with... The only problem is thta they are white, so the moths think I'm a really, really big one, and keep fluttering around me while I spin.. : [image]https://www.homeofpoi.com/ubb/images/icons/rolleyes.gif">:------------------[/image]-Neil Gaiman, Sandman #48

i think the moths think you're the light. i think your dad is awesome and is really going to get into the making of your fire set. and the moths will learn quickly or experience the most enlighting light of their lives! i think the metal pieces are washerspeas and carrotssara
