greetings

i've seen people praticing poi a couple times, here and there, and thought about how fun it would be and how it would be a wicked thing to get into. damn i was wrong, its much more fun than it looks and its been an amazing thing to get into. i didnt know anything about it until recently, i decided to look it up and came across this site. i must say, i was stoked to find this forum a few days ago and see that it is full of awesome folk. since then i've put together a couple pair of poi, first with what junk i had available (shoelaces, neon orange surveyor's ribbon and big soft skateboard wheels) and then a much nicer lookin set after a quick trip to the hardware store (and i'm very proud of these too, with their leather loops and big shiny chain). the lessons offered by HOP have proven to be a killer way to learn this art too, as i've managed to get a bunch of the moves in the HOP lessons (i had to browse the forums for some more tips on conquering the weave, but woohoo, i got it, after catching a poi in the nuts a few times...). its good to meet you all, i look forward to being a part of this community of pyros, performers and riffraff.

Welcome.

Mad, crazy, frootloops, funnyfarm fodder. Thats us.

Hope you weren't trying to learn weaves with your skatewheel poi. Urathane + high speed = owch. I want to try poi while boarding... haven't quite got it yet.

Have faith in what you can do and respect for what you can't

Hello, welcome to HoP!!

My state of mind is not yours to define!

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

actually they're downhill wheels (for a longboard) so they're relatively soft (78a). still a bit painful, so i had plenty of incentive to get it right
