Hi all just wondering where and how I might go about learning how to spin poi? I'll be moving home from uni in a few months back to the north east and am desperate for a new challenge and would love to give this a go but don't know where to start!
Any advice would be really really welcome!
Thanks in advance, all the best!Jo x

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to put together a couple sets of flag poi, but can't find big (8mm+) ball chain anywhere in town. I was wondering whether twisted chain would be an okay substitute -- any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hey groovers,

Im Simon from Basingstoke in England... Ive had poi's for ages but done nothing with them so thought Id get off my arse and start using them.

I currently have chronic thrombo embolic pulmonary hypertension but am going under the knife at some point this year to hopefully cure it.

My main passion is music and you can hear my band, The Dandy Dead at www.myspace.com/thedandydead

Drop me a line and say hello
