Poi Toys!

evilheartedyou · 7th March 2005, 07:44 PM

bought these today to play with, they're very painful

fun tho, I found a cheap pair for 6 quid to practise with til I'm good enough to buy the 15 quid light up ones and then if I'm really good enough, I'm going to get fire ones

clicky here to read what poi really is about rather things you hit yourself in the face with

do you set it on fire?

Hat Of Cheese · 7th March 2005, 10:22 PM

I really do hope that you don't hit yourself in the face when they're on fire...

I've played about with those before, I hit other people, but whenever they played with them, they hit anyone else who was nearby too, so it's all good really

seems a bit silly..where are you ever going to show off your talent?

evilheartedyou · 8th March 2005, 07:13 PM

All_in_black · 8th March 2005, 07:31 PM

Circus folk are perverts.

Anyway, if u wana do poi, knock yourself out.....but not literally.

I always thought it would be a good laugh to give poi a try at some point, though I am totally addicted to juggling just now and trying to teach myself some tricks

yes, click on the website in the first post of the thread and you will see a couple of pics of fire poi's in action at the top of the page.

I'm completely hopeless at juggling

I can do the weave and the butterfly! I am covered in bruises now tho

juggling is so much fun, I taught myself the basic 3 ball juggle while doing my last exams, I found it was a good way to chill out. Hopefully during this set of exams coming up I will be able to master a few tricks and also teach myself to juggle rings, which are a little harder than balls to juggle.
