I've always wanted to try some aerial stuff, but have never had the opportunity. Looks crazy fun.

My local circus skills club just bought a slackline. Its even harder than it looks!!! It's a lot harder than the tightrope, in my opinion. I've got no tips that haven't already been men...

Thanks!!
"Thanks for the speedy delivery and the high-quality Kevlar. I needed some replacement wick and I couldn't have hoped for it to appear sooner. Thanks very much!! Time to go attach it to my staff."

M - Cath. B/C fire poi set  
28th May, 2007
Pyromania awaits!
"I ordered chains which were slightly shorter than I wanted - but that was my bad for mucking up my measurements. :) On a brighter note it makes buzzsaws a lot easier - but wraps a little harder. Terrific poi! I haven't managed to light these ones yet though I just got some paraffin so I'll have to do it tonight! The ball chains seems very sturdy and the Cathedral heads are connected securely via a lockable + removable link. Can't wait to light these suckers up! The wicks are really big! :D Thanks very much HoP!"

Art of Staff instruction  
13th February, 2007
Very good
"Great DvD teaches you the basics of staff spinning as well as some nifty contact moves to try out such as neck wraps arm warps shoulder wraps etc. Very good lessons very clear instructions and allows easy and quick progress!! The 50 minute performance/interview with Sage is also very inspiring. :)"

Single Small Carry Bag  
30th January, 2007
Problem Solver
"This poi bag has saved me a world of trouble! Before I would be carrying my Poi inside my rucksack or hanging from my belt... the first method tends to result in tangled chords and chains the second method tends to get in the way a bit and also makes your poi more prone to damage. This neat little bag protects the poi and also prevents them from getting jumbled about and tangled in your rucksack!! Now I can hang them from my belt safely and without them getting in the way of things - or I can store them neatly and tidily inside my rucksack and pull them out quickly for some spinning. Great little extra good to have!!"

Pair of Nylon Cords with Swivels, Quicklinks and Handles  
30th January, 2007
Excellent price and excellent quality.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that these nylon chords are cheap - they are of excellent quality and allow easy spinning. The split-rings securely attach the chords to your poi and are incredibly sturdy. They allow your poi a lot of flexibility and grant you a lot of control over your spinning. Excellent price excellent quality!"

Single Multi-Color LED Glow Ball with Attachment Ring  
30th January, 2007
Incredible
"I heard that these glow-poi were amazingly fun to spin but I was very surprised at how bright these babies glowed!!! The glow-balls are secured with a hard plastic ring which is fixed onto the ball itself - which means it is very durable and doesn't come off!! The balls are nicely weighted and yet slightly cushioned so that you don't bruise yourself badly when anything goes wrong. But although cushioned they also very well protected - I've knocked them together a few times and even dropped one on the floor once; and their quality hasn't changed in the slightest! These poi are so much fun to spin the patterns and trails they leave in their wake are amazing! The colours shift smoothly and change gently to create wonderful hues of light as you weave them about your body. Absolutely a must-have for spinners both novice and adept; hours upon hours of fun are to be had with these funky little toys! Thanks again HoP!!!"

Fire Safety Training  
22nd January, 2007
Superb
"A must have for any back-yard fire spinners. This simple DvD keeps both you and your audience safe it takes you through all the necessary precautions and ensures that you'll have a great time spinning! Its free too so why not? Definitely a must have!!"

Brilliance in a box
"Not only has this DvD shown me how I was doing a lot of the basic stuff all wrong it shows some BRILLIANT footage of other poiest whirling their stuff and displaying their skills!!! The video is really helpful and walks you through all of the necessary moves so that you can combine them together or invent your own. I know a lot more from a few days of watching this DvD than I have known since I picked up my first pair of sock-poi!! And not only is the Col2 footage beautiful and inspiring to watch - it shows you a bundle of other nifty tricks and techniques to try out yourself! Many thanks HoP."
