Alien Jon Poi: nano-Tech Blog fire: Spherecamp 2009 fire stage

[Mrspinnnnn]

cant believe 2 people would hit dislike on this :(

oh well, great performance though. that 3d stuff always awes and confuses me.

[nemofishie8877]

Wow, I really love your style. everything is so flowy and hella good transitioning. You are very talented and I wish you were there at the 2010 Temple of Poi fire expo so I could have seen you spin live!!

Alien master...

[glowdingo]

Alienjon whats up! This is Dingoni i met you this year at the park session thing u did with burning dan. Dude that is crazy how the poi went out and you light it back up with a spiral never seen that done before! = ) Lovin the stalls n you really know how to play outside the line with your poi saw sum trippy stuff in there thats what i like about your style and performance! Good song lovin the DnB! peace!

[elninohaginho]

Great tech spinning, I' m really impressed with a lot of tricks you show here.

"the video lined up pretty nicely with the track I chose after the fact:" - i would strongly argue on this one, the track is at least 20-30 bpm too fast for this session (no hard feelings please:] )

[Exuro89]

I've always tried to use stalls to relight when a poi head goes out, but i really like the way the spiral comes out looking. I'm going to have to borrow that.

[mattostrokol]

@Exuro89 Pendulum moves work out well also! =)

[PaPeRDoLLer]

thanks! Awesome! ;)

[jweezee100]

noooo i was gonna use the song on my fire video dammit!

[AlienJon]

[marokflash]

[tracerammo]

Fu(kin' a right. Mind blowing. ;)

[TrippWaLk]

Excellent spinning! I've been waiting for a really recent vid to come out from you, and here it is! It's like christmas all over again!!! Thanks for posting!

~happy spinning~

[Rehver]

Hey man really nice spinning, there's just no other words to say. I'm kinda just throwing this out there but it'd be really cool if you did a nano-blog on that trick you performed at 0:30 - 0:34

[Zacdunn2022]

holy shit dude. niceee

[stillhuman]

i love the clever twists you put on familiar moves. great video! can't wait until the next one!

[JaxFlow]

wow the part where you did the massice amount of turns blew my mind... love it

[snowface420]

nice vid man...jus curious are you doing a trick to get one poi ta got out and relight on that spiral...cause if so thats tight as hell...

[AlienJon]

I kinda have a feel for when a stall will snuff my personal wick, but can't do it on demand yet. I do see it coming so when it happens I react to it as though I planned it :-P

It seems to happen with tight cylindrical wicks like my custom moonblazes.

I met a fire eater once who could do it on command with eating torches, so that the one wick would snuff, but its flame would light the other torch. He called them ghost transfers.

[PoiMc]

That's insane, I'd love to learn how to do that, not sure how I'd go about that though...

Do you know of any videos of him (or anyone for that matter) doing ghost transfers?

Also, do you watch glowsticking videos to learn your bounces? I've been practicing those recently but was wondering if you knew of any good tutorial videos?

[AlienJon]

Don't know of any ghost transfer vids. :-(

I started out glowstrigning 10+ years ago, before there were prevalent videos. Sure, I am informed and inspired by GS vids, but my foundations predate them.

[PoiMc]

Ah, shame.

How long have you been doing poi for? Yeah, you've got to love Youtube, I would never have learnt as much as I have without it :D

No worries, I'll just a scout about. You're bounces are sick.

[poiboi07]

@AlienJon

It happened with my old Isis wicks, and it always seems to happen at the beginning of a burn. It's a good way of knowing you just did a clean stall ;)

[mattostrokol]

@poiboi07 It does tend to work better with a larger flame.. it gets really difficult to do with eating torches the smaller the flame gets.

[burnpoi86]

the use of spiral wraps to reignite the poihead is dope. it seems as if you put it out on purpose. also the "walking" at 2:10 was super fluid. ive been working on this technique for sometime, but cant get it to flow so smoothly. excellent performance!

[krissztiina]

Very nice one John, just the right amount of tech and flow:) Btw, thanks a lot for the nano-blogs, i really enjoy them!

Take care!

[Shaogdynia]

1:28 to 1:32 was amazing ! it blow my mind. from conected head of poi to spiral !

[Element4ry]

Totally agreed!

[jitpunkia]

those hybrids and stalls . sexy

[PoiMc]

Sweet, I've got to try out some of that stuff *grabs poi*

[0mastar]

Kick ass dude, thanks again for the split-threading tips at Flow Temple too. Peace and love buddy :)

[poiboi07]

This was really good, nice job man :)

[Codfert970]

Very Cool Alien Jon!
