hi,

i'm really really struggling to get some new moves for fire spinning, i can do the usual 3 beat and butterfly and through the legs and stuff, but is there any decent moves that can be learnt relatively easily without fear of burning and in a short space of time?

if you can let more know or are available for training in the hampshire area of UK, please let me know

ta very much!

Well you can do the 3bt weaves and butterfly (any butterfly tricks???)

Can you do reverse moves?

hi all, thanks for the advice,

i kinda got what i wanted wrong sorry peeps!

what i want is to be able to do some tricks that look good, but when i light my fire poi, they have a minimal risk of burning me!

I think that isolations look good with fire poi, i'm getting to grips with them at the moment. Other than that, weave variations, fountains windmills and the corkscrew, along with butterfly variations like thread the needle and the take-outs that are described on the tutorials page. 'Most anything looks good when its on fire :P

fire poi is like the build up of all your practice will regular poi (socks, tails etc) learn moves with them first then no matter what you do with fire poi it will look good. Smile
