Your first attempt at fire poi? That is pretty good i must say, though i did find some things you could clean up. When i say this, i mean no offense. I think that you should change speeds during your spinning. Moving fast is impressive, yet its only impressive to a certain extent. Learn how to acheive a nice flow when you do a foward weave to a reverse weave. Move slow and try to get the movements down precisely. A great move you should learn is the fountain. All it is, is just a foward weave swooping down and back up to a reverse weave to a windmill to fowards weave - just incase you didnt know. Really nice spinning, just keep up your practice. What you really want to learn is the flow of the moves and the focus and precise movements. Good luck man, loved it! A bit of side information - do not be afraid of poi, but try to keep a hold of your safety

thanks glad you liked it... cheers for the pointers, its a bugger when you dont know anyone who spins and have to teach yourself, its nice but outside crit is always good and very welcome. hopefully if this weather keeps up i can have another burn tonight, which means that i can practice now and have fun later
... im a lot less afraid of the poi than i was the first time i lit them, it feels like you have to relearn the moves once fire is introduced but i love it...now im off to practice keepin it smooth

No problem, and yes, i know what its like to teach yourself, sometimes it will get boring and not so motivating. Just keep it up bro. I also know what you mean by it feeling as if you have to relearn the moves with fire poi. Feels good to know you like the fire, many people are too intimidated. I'll hope for the weather to keep up aswell. As long as you practice and dont give up if youre stuck you'll find the prize is even greater. If any help is required for any moves or techniques, ill try and help you out bro. PM me if you need any help. Much love.
