Top 5 Intermediate Poi Tricks You Should Know!

Drilling down my top 5 intermediate poi tricks in this list video! Lots of people have requested I do a list video of poi tricks for intermediates but I had a hard time breaking out what I considered to be the most essential things to put on a poi moves list. What I've done here is put together five of what I'd consider to be the most important poi moves for gaining proficiency with your poi spinning and that set you up for more advanced poi tricks down the road. Did I leave out some of your favorite poi spinning moves? What intermediate poi moves should I have included that I missed? What kind of list of poi spinning tricks should I do next?

I remember struggling to learn all the top 5 beginner tricks and now I can already do all of these. Never give up :)

[njester]

Love the tank!!! It’s nice to see my progress learning, feels good to have all of these down :)

[huntergeren]

Just orders my first set of poi excited to learn

[aspeno]

thanks for this! I finished the beginner course recently and am figuring out where to go next.

[thepodmod]

I feel confident in learning the couple out of the first 4 i have not mastered. The flower is the hardest that you mentioned to get to a level of profficiency. Im somewhat onto the rest pretty good.

However ISOLATIONS i just cant seem tk wrap my head around the timing. I underatand it perfectly its just putting it into effect, yet its SO impactful to a spin

[MannequinMG]

I was at a faire years ago and one of the nights I was there, my uncle gave me a set of glow in the dark poi to play with. I quickly caught on to the idea and began spinning them around as I walked around the fairegrounds. At one point a little kid passed me right as I felt like I was losing control but somehow I didn't and all I heard was "WOOOAAAHHH!"
I'm so jealous of that kid because I have no idea what I did or how to replicate it.

Anyway, your vid helped inspire me to get another poi set and practice again. Maybe I'll figure it out along the way!

[sophiasometimes]

Flow festivals are going to be nuts once that can happen again .so many people are spinning now it’s really awesome.

[havad]

You're always great! Love your tank!!

[palmer_c]

I wana see you do all your crazy tricks but with actual fire poi! Would be so cool. I spin and practice with fire poi only (used to do glow) but the things you can do would be amazing with fire

[angelaharrison]

Your videos and your attitude are very inspiring! You did an awesome job 😊

[WilliamJamieson]

Omg. This is the perfect video for me! I am going to practice these. Thank you Drex!

[plezstopg]

Once I learned the fountain I felt my flow improved tremendously

[Ugedaff]

5 > Crossers
4 > BTB weaves
3> top stalls
2> caps
1> isolations

;)

[mystytchannel]

Drex!!! Most of these moves seem to need weighted poi. I normally spin light weight LED poi. Stall s are extremely difficult. And what in your opinion is the best way to hold poi? I use the loop around 2 fingers instead of the ball end.

[jonathanes]

Brutal hermano!! Saludos desde lima peru! 🤘🏿

[emilyc]

I love the way you teach! Do you know any good you tubers who teach staff? In particular, contact staff? :)

[drgdfhg]

Not satisfied, huh, Drex? Okay, next time include: honorable mentions! 😁😁

[sleepnomore]

What's a minimum poi length? The normal lemgth feels more likely to spin that stall (plastic ones) & im scared to smack myself in the face!

[tamara]

Any thing that Pual of Flam Chen cant do..

[carpediemarts]

Caps? Huh? I still don't even understand what I'm looking at, much less understand why it would make poi fun enough to spend time doing them. It's like vitamin B16. Do I really need it? How do I fit it into a realistic diet.
Maybe caps are more like flossing.
Dr.Drex has the truth to back his suggestion but despite my actual need for a root canal, I really can't see sticking my hands in my mouth with string stretched between them.

Great video. Sound advice.
Keep up the Good Work.
