Show your Poi

[Kira90Bliss]

I remember that lady from the "Inside LSD" documentary...funny I run into a video of her on Youtube years later, out of developed interest and involvement in the culture. Small world...

[tdilover36]

I meant to put this on my last comment,I also made my own type of poi called bead poi they are not very efficient considering there only a bead neclace constantly linked together.They are my own type of finger poi :p this is another reason my I'm tring to get my parents to by me some ogg poi.

[tdilover36]

Hi,

I'm just starting with poi and i've managed to make my own sock poi witch tend to get quit annoing.So I'm looking to get some ogg poi,I tried to search for some ogg poi at the website you listed but couldn't find any.Can you help me?I'm not really wure of any other websites that sell ogg poi.

[Macabresque]

This video has beautiful people and beautiful poi :) <3

[yoinksw33t4u]

i also have 2 pairs of poi made by myself ^^

[Inokodeyuu]

I LOVE THE FIREFLY'S!!!!! but i cant find them on pronoia.org. MUST HAVE THEM!!!!!! how do i get them?

[GetXoverXhim]

klaus is hot.

Sorry. :p

[987paintballfreak]

wow ladie hair armpit at 7:17

[Orchidlover3]

Flowtoys is not carrying their ogg poi anymore something having to do with the supplier of them.

[DestroyedDimension]

Look at all the hippies! lol

[minustwelve]

My very first poi was one I made myself, out of a shoelace and a small (~10cm) stuffed animal. I caught a glimpse of a couple of these vids and just couldn't wait for the pair I had ordered so I took what I had handy and started spinning. I couldn't count the amount of times I smacked myself over the head and in the face with the thing but I *can* count the amount of times it hurt - None!

Henry the mole is now my mascot and where I go, he goes. =)

[NightCrawler106]

I know its an old video, but I just came across it.

Just wanted to comment on the last bit of the video.

I think thats a brilliant idea, using a kevlar braid to cover the hot metal parts. It should be done on all fire poi :)

I'm currently working on a different material for fire poi. I have been looking at carbon fibre, instead of kevlar. Any views on that idea?

[HighKailash]

here are some trailing poi that i made myself :)

[StealthyShizaku]

Dude That first lady wit the fishnet poi, she was on a documentary about lsd weird :p

[CleezyClark]

@StealthyShizaku the teafaerie! she is too cool!

[alliha737]

I have one of those rainbow-pois at 7:40! :D They are beautiful with their tail on^^ But I still love my old home-made sock-poi, they have the perfect bounce to them. :P

[Dimebag719]

Nick!!!! Make and sell your sock poi!!!!! I'm begging you!!!!!! haha :P

[Daavisonfire]

I cant find those cool chain gaurds on that websight you said in the video would they be found anywhere else?

[anikinkid]

dude those fireflies are so clever! I want one. or ten =D

[Rayne0o]

10:40

Lawl at the guys expression in the background!

Is that Yuta or someone else? xD

[Velcan]

some of those sites mentioned cant be found anymore, are there and updated links?

Also do you have to use granola if you want to make washable poi or could you use rice?

[Breshiki]

That fishnet stocking is a great idea! I'll have to remember that! I only have one set of handles/strings and two LED sets, so that would be a great alternative until I can buy another handle set!

[Hawaiian8Ninja]

beautiful! very helpful =) love your videos

[DJRockIt1x]

@ 13:20 > I made these 5 fingered jailhouse sock without knowing their popularity & gave them away to a friend of mine who complained that they looked like utters...blah...i'm deifnately taking them back now ;)

[captpig]

that first chick was fuckin badass dude :D

..bet she can roll a fatty..who said that lol

[2low2rl]

every one of those girls was super cute. im coming to join you. lol

[leoraac]

This is really cool, thanks for posting!

It's also comforting to know that even advanced spinners still use old and breaking sock poi too!

[tonymacias15]

7:17

[d3dreaper]

why didnt my response get posted?? :'( maybe nick is just a bit busy...

[reizza]

How do spinners get the opportunity and know how to travel and meet like this? (Don't know why I'm asking, I cant even get to local spin jams since I don't drive! T_T)

[didgeplayer]

Where is this taking place?

Thanks

[sephiroth87932]

lol at 12:15 in the mirror you can see yuta stumble back after the bouncing =)

[sephiroth87932]

i like the first girls dressing like the hair and sash thingy

[sk8nska]

she actually has a vid on how to make teafaerie hair, you can youtube "how to make teafaerie hair" and it should come up :)

[sephiroth87932]

[xtuylsx]

[BlacklitFloater]

very cool!

[TidusPoorPants]

XDD Kevlar Condom

[killakowalski]

i love the way nick's hair goes from a 'uptown girl' to a 'back street boy' lol

[sk8nska]

the girl with the meteor cracks me up!

[sk8nska]

i made my poi out of tube sucks and hacky sacks! i tried tennis balls but as soon as you hit some the balls shoot into crazy directions or at you...so i just stick to the hacky sacks..im gettin led poi this weekend yayy!

[abieelou]

i love the way your hair changes!!!!!

[Nyambui]

I like the fish net stocking work...

[RetroFingerboards]

i have gotten into glow stringing but when i get some money i want to get some poi's from home of poi

[Xinixie]

It was this video, after also being shown 'when circles dream' ..that made me want to do this. Like, seriously considering it, to the point of buying some basic poi, watching some instruction videos and then attempting to make my own. Thank you.

[8fimorris8]

You really should- it's so satisfying when you get it right! And a god work out for the arms.. Haha

[ihasnuthing]

i bought those same glow poi as the white ones. different socks but same lights. they were the worst poi ive ever had. and you should avoid buying them :S

[goldencopulations]

really? I have the jailhouse sock poi and also so cole cord I switch between the two and I love my sock poi.

[ifuckmice]

no i strongly disliked them as if you swing them too hard. they stretch. and not in a good way as they dont stretch back. also the sewing at the seams came apart withing a few weeks. horrible poi :) i love cone poi from home or poi though. ive recently purchased them and i recommend them to EVERY! that means you goldencopulations

[libertine505]

i have the same sock poi with 5 fingers hehehe

[DeadEndRoad96]

making them is the way to go.. NO limits to how cool they will be.. and YOU made them, and you can always improve on your designs. make them for friends, possibilities are endless

[dazewithoutrainbows]

something i find is better than any of them chains for fire poi is 3mm steal cable... it works a treat.

[stillhuman]

that was a very informative video, but what i would love to see is a video showing ronan's poi! those yellow ones he does all the contact stuff with! id love a pair of those!

[symphonicpoi]

can u make a video about color fire how to make it or people who know how to make it

thats

[ifuckmice]

plz teel me wer i can get some fire flies!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maraeni]

how about all that commented here, post a video response with their poi? Then this video and its links would be a great source for other ppl with alot of different points of view and different poi :)

[reizza]

Awesome! a perfect start to my poi endeavors!

[kameyeam]

I have found that Mardi Gras bead chains make nice weights for sock poi, and I put them inside a cut off sock; inside the poi. They have the right amount of weight, and don't hurt too much when you hit yourself.

[dominodarren]

Nice was this movie made at a festival, I go to Camp Creek and Wormfest (The Garden of Eden)  Id love to see a poi tent at one of our fests, I'll have to make one I guess!

Home of Poi is awsum I got my fist poi balls from them. Now I've moved on to Flo Poi which I have to give 5 stars cuz there the shiz, check out my channel you can see me play with both!!

[punkycrisp]

very useful!!!! thanks!!

[wandershroom]

Great!!! This helps...

[krishoee]

I always wondered how Nick does spiral wraps while spinning fire. I'm glad I watched this before I decided to try it.

[castleoutsider]

hehe in asia they have "concert lights" theyre like glowsticks but theyre special lights you get at concerts. which they only have in asia lol specially the little blow up clappers *nod* koreans used those all the time at their concerts and now theyre here gogo world cup ^^

[AndroNami]

Nick thank you as always! Can you tell me where I can find good heavy duty swivels for a new pair of cables I want to make? Much love!

[lawebdekasty]

/watch?v=no7_ccaXWkU

[gms099]

actually you don't have to order your poi from all those web sites, they're a lot quality but you can make your own poi for a cheaper price

[meenik]

But half of the poi in the video ARE homemade. That was part of the fun of the video, wasn't it?

[damadspinner]

yep i agree it was the fun part i started with glowsticks got tired off buying fresh ones so i made some led sticks. then i made some socks. bought my first fire poi. gonna make my next set

[PrettyPillz]

agreed! making poi and experimenting is definitely fun times. lol. i enjoy it anyways. love ur vids btw nick, u have helped my technique out a lot. hopefully i can get some videos up soon!

[toninhopavan2]

[cicisdeliverysez]

You guys need to come down to Texas as soon as you can get back in the States. = ]

[srtaava]

i'm just starting to play poi and I'm having a lot of fun making my own pois, cause I'm a designer and that's working out kinda as an exercize to my creativity.

thank you for upload that x)

[Spec75]

[berenixe23]

[Iwillkillyou35]

poi and meteor people always have such bright personality's. Those fire poi are huge. great video thank you

[triblemaster]

that with the kevlar protection for you arms was so good!!! really nice invention :D

[matchdesign]

Yes - kevlar tube widget is a stroke of genius.

Has anyone posted a good video showing how to weave kevlar rope into a fire head? I met someone on holiday recently who had done and the gear was really light, very bright and burned for ages...

[Yakumounr]

Should have said in my last comment, love the vid, and the kevlar tube's a great idea :)

[Vonkz]

the lil kevlar burn protector is sweet...i have plenty of burns from the damned hot metal bits

[Orbit47]

Yay Poi P0rn!

[Yakumounr]

Hyperlights might be as bright as Eva would like ;)

[hyperlight]

I would say so... it's just a matter of time :P

[ruespieler]

[Tzupaack]

Happy poing!

[paddo93]

[splinterific]

nick thanks for that :) love the tubing idea for the poi heads, been suffering with some nasty backhand burns from a bad spiral wrap and this is the perfect idea, whats the shape of the flame from the heads like? Mark

[ronmcphatty]

brilliant! i love the finger-fire poi :D shame we cant get them in the uk, theyd be great for indoor fire / making the landlord sweat, haha

[ruespieler]

teafaerie here - write to me and I'll totally send you some anywhere!

[tehd0nk]

Wow, thanks nick and everyone in that video! It answers a bunch of questions about the gear you all use.

[Lazy4nge1]
