Hey everyone,
so anyway i am new to poi, i was walking along the beach one night near my place and happened to see a couple of people with staffs and thought it was cool. later that week i was up at a market and there was a set of poi for sale. so i just had to have some. since then all i have really got is a lot of bruises but had a lot of fun playing. So when i stumbled upon this site i thought YAY, no longer will i have to stalk the beaches once more hoping to catch sight of those mysterious figures with there pretty flames, and did a happy dance. And now i am here hoping to catch sight of mysterious strangers, (prefer tall dark and dangerous) with pretty fire.
So i still have a lot to learn but enough of my rambling and a little about me.
Name: adam
age: 24
sex: Male
location: the beach (not far out from geelong)
how long now: a couple of months with the poi although still to light up waiting till i get a bit better first
occupation: i work with little kids
hobbies: i have way to much time on my hands to list them all but books and more books, and building sand castles i like sand castles. art, photography, poi and contact juggling (also a newly aquired)
regrets: none its not worth it
hopes and dreams: to make it to the sunday night meet up in melbourne and take cool photos .
so yeah Questions? threats?
feel free

No noo your all confuzzed, FIREDEVILS are the most fun coz you can throw them really high in the air and when they come back down spinning really really fast they make this really really scaring sound and you get all anxious and worried that you might miss it or it might get you in the face, but then you catch it on yer hand stick and get flooded with the relief of not being bashed or burnt and you look really really cool.

hmmm all still scary to me. well exept the poi there not so scary now staff still confuses me i know i have to spin it i just am not sure how exactly i cant seem to get it to work the way it should perhaps a trip to melbourne to actually watch some people play is in order again. as for devil sticks i cant even use the ones not on fire although i am sure if they are on fire i will learn much faster as i will be trying harder to make sure they dont hit me or the ground etc. same theory with my clubs. damn saftey consious friends and family
