Can you believe that Flowtoys Podpoi have been around for a decade? When this prop dropped in 2012, it instantly changed the game. I want to take you through some of the history leading up to that product drop, why it was such a big deal at the time, and why the importance of podpoi has only grown since then. Podpoi have recently become very important to me once again as they have come to support a lot of my poi dance work in the past couple months, so I'm grateful to get to mark this occasion as I've fallen back in love with these props!

The first time i ever even saw pod poi i was at a edm show and a guy had some and i was so mesmerized, I pretty much immediately went on a mission to get some and i have loved them ever since. Drex you were a big inspiration and help in my journey learning poi so thank you!

@DrexFactor 2 года назад

You're so welcome and I'm glad you've found they support your flow, too!

@leiani.r 2 года назад

I absolutely love your new style you've incorporated with the LED pod poi !!! When I purchased my first set of poi just over a month ago, your videos were the first I came across and I've already learned so much from your channel. Thank you again (((:

@leiani.r 2 года назад

I should also mention, I am from Aotearoa and I express gratitude to you for acknowledging the origin of which Poi come from. Being Maori myself, it just shows the amount of respect you have for the art. We adore you, Drexfactor Poi !

@DrexFactor 2 года назад

This honestly means the absolute world to me! I'd love to come visit Aotearoa some day for myself and it means a lot to think I'd be welcome there. :)

@TheBoboSamurai 2 года назад

I've been using my podpoi since 2015, they've seen some abuse and are still kickin! I've been watching your videos for just as long ;P

@DrexFactor 2 года назад

Outstanding! When I went to make this video I was actually curious if that set were indeed my first pair and I was shocked to discover they were. Still kicking a decade later!

@josevega8253 2 года назад

I had my umoja flowtoys years ago in Ecuador and as a traffic light busker, things improved plus being the sensation everywhere with my lights (those things aren't as affordable here as they are there). It made me so happy sharing my art with everybody and not needing fire for it. Then, I got my podpoi on last December and after like 16 years I finally felt like the path to my flow. Like I finally got the missing piece I was looking for for more than a decade. Now I just need the new thicker rope and a couple of silicon shells to replace my umojas. Don't get me wrong, I like them but I'm more into the flow type. Podpoi just has this beautiful design that even the patterns look better. Btw, the traffic light pays more with pods than umojas. Sorry for the long comment, I just got emotional 🥲 P.S. thank you so much for including English captions, Drex. It helps me and other spinners a lot with our english learning 🙏🏼

@DrexFactor 2 года назад

That makes me so happy to hear! And you're so welcome for the captions. I made it a goal to improve the accessibility of my videos a couple years ago and I'm glad to hear that goal is being accomplished!

@gaberialla 2 года назад

I still remember when you recommend pod poi for me and I am still in love with them. They actually are really durable compared to the helix poi I bought. I got mine a few months ago and I have gotten so much better just by having using the right led poi and flowing everyday. They had so many modes and never had a poi with that many modes on one setting. They are not too light but not too heavy either, they are the perfect weight.

@DrexFactor 2 года назад

Good! I'm so glad to hear they are supporting your flow!

@SkyGuysQuest 2 года назад

Pod poi are what first peaked my interest in poi. I had seen contact poi before but seeing all the modes and features of pod poi was where the wheels started spinning

@DrexFactor 2 года назад

Nice! I'm definitely not a modes geek myself but I appreciate those who are! Out of curiosity, did you ever find the secret hidden mode? A few years ago the folks at Flowtoys dropped that there was one and I've heard tell that some people have found it.

@SkyGuysQuest 2 года назад

@@DrexFactor no I didn't realize that was a thing, Ill have to try and find it

@DominusFeles Год назад

I have some fond memories of my Flowtoys Streetlights. The main structure was basically two plastic caps friction fit to an acrylic pipe and the whole thing had the tendency to fly apart after a while ^^ Must have bought them in 2006-7. I think that I sent them back to Flowtoys for a discount on my Podpois in like 2013 -ish. Fun to think back to how a "professional" poi show before the pods more or less exclusively meant fire poi. Nowadays I rarely see people spin fire, who would have thought that in 2011 :p

@KittyInTheRain 2 года назад

This is actually crazy timing because I just ordered my first set of pod poi last night! I can't wait to try them out~

@DrexFactor 2 года назад

Good timing on my part!

@belindarosegold 2 года назад

I've never had them before. I can't remember when I saw my first pod pois but I remember being shocked at how light they were. Definitely gotta get some to celebrate their 10 year anniversary!!✨

@DrexFactor 2 года назад

Hell yes! Be sure to use the code "drexfactor2022" when you pick them up. Gets you a discount and it helps out the channel!

@WolfZoo69 Год назад

My1st experience with PodPoi was at a furry convention in Seattle in late 2012. A friend I was rooming with had a pair and I was so impressed that a few months later I bought myself a set. They have been my prop of choice ever since.

@me0101001000 2 года назад

Podpoi were the first poi I ever owned, and I got them the year they came out. I benchmark my poi journey by their age. It's really surreal to have grown as an artist alongside them. I still have the pair, too.

@rrrosecarbinela 2 года назад

I love my podpoi!

@DrexFactor 2 года назад

You and me both ;)

@CharlieSolis 2 года назад

Still my favorite to spin with. I love my contact poi but the pods are just hands down the best in my opinion.

@nicholasriffle997 2 года назад

I love these poi history videos!

@NotEvenProductions 2 года назад

I remember podpoi being my second set of poi, and it was amazing! I got my first set in March of 2015 and then I got my first set of handles in July of the same year. Honestly, the podpoi have changed my life. I've met some many wonderful people and gone on some crazy adventures with them. Here's to another 10 years Flowtoys!

@jawaring4367 Год назад

one of the most infuriating things about the gen 1 flow lights was how hard it was to change the batteries. Those little plastic pieces that clipped in and out to access the batteries was so damn hard to get out.

@errriss 2 года назад

I don’t like my podpoi. The strings give you blisters when you spin. The lights get ruined every 3 years. I will buy something else next time.

@taylorbain3380 2 года назад

After years of juggling diabolo, I finally got my first set of poi yesterday! Was juggling diabolo in the park and a neighbor came up to me to say hello and it turns out he makes gorgeous handmade lotus poi 🪷 After a short conversation, I knew it was time to expand my flow and try something new. I was blown away when I discovered this channel, your videos are so inspiring and useful! Can’t wait to dive into the awesome world of poi. Thanks for all the helpful content!
