Wow I had no idea this was so big. I ordered the fire poi right off the bat and now I am wanting to get the neon ones or led lighted ones for practice . This stuff hurts . I like to watch it on video as well as the book and get it all explained I am apparently a slow learner but any tips are much appreciated. how do I shorten the corded fire poi ones with the cathedral wicks

Hey there Aspen,
to HoP! Can't help you with the poi-shortening, but I think you have a better chance of getting an answer if you post your question in the [Old link] section.
Yup, poi hurt
For less painful practice poi you could also just get a couple of knee-length socks and put tennis balls or juggling balls in them: the only drawback is that they stretch, and therefor feel and react a little differently than fire chains.
Also, have you found the [Old link] section of the forum? Some very inspiring stuff in there!
As for learning, it's easiest to just learn 'live' from someone else - do you know any other spinny people?
You've found your way into the introductions section here, and we'd love to hear a little [Old link] about you!
happy spinning!
Neph

welcome til HoP!!
thats what i like about pois too... the FIRE;) another thing you can use fire for i fire shooting... BUT only if you are a skilled shooter when it comes to archery... or else you can really hurt someon/something sens the bow is almost classified as a weapon...

Hello, welcome to HoP!
Hello, welcome to HoP!
My state of mind is not yours to define!
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
