I`ve tried poi only a couple of times so I havn`t really practised with `em.
My question is what should i learn first, whats the basic steps of poi-ing?
thank you in advance!

motsplace
domorepoi
sperculism
Feuershow.de (this one you wanna check out the tutorials)
and heres some really good videos on playpoi
I once learned every move that there was,
Every style, Every technique.
Then I woke up, and forgot it all,
So now I struggle to dream.
Its called houseofpoi of something...
I might have a dig later and see if I can find anything.

don't worry, the more you hit yourself in the crotch, the quicker you learn it..it won't make sense now probably, but you'll see

, tail tails tails lolI also recomend not worring about learning moves, basicly get used to spinning and try different things when your comfortable.

My only advice for a beginner is to spin every day for about an hour and to build things up slowly
Have faith in what you can do and respect for what you can't

oh yeh this thread is hillarious. And oh how I know about Mr 3 beat he needs to be stoped by a something if possible. Oh and tip never let go of the poi before it hits you thinking that's just gona stop it. Cos it isn't, that's just asking for trouble.Delete

Ive used my fire pois since day one and learnt with them. Ive been doing poi for 4 months. I set them on fire like 1 month ago for the first time, and ok I agree that now I cannot practice with them without getting all shitty. So I had to order a new pair to practice with. BUT, now after so long time, I know what to buy and not to buy. So Id use the fire pois until they get burnt and need to be replaced because they are good in my opinion.
Sure they hurt a bit, but not as much as tennis balls (Which some use).
U can use the tutorials that were posted here before or use the ones on the HOP Website- they are more than enough for u to start with. And make them in that order. They are all important to know in the end anyways.

I will also need a new pair for practising, what would you guys suggest? I`d rather buy non-fire poi for practising.
