Congrats once more, Drex! As for the Q&A, I have a few questions. 1. What are your thoughts on pseudoscientific ideas floating in and through the flow community? 2. You mentioned that gatekeeping has been a pervasive problem in every flow art. Do you think that is still the case? 3. What recommendations do you have for a budding flow artist, wanting to build their own brand? 4. Outside of poi, what other things are you passionate about?

Congrats, I have 2 questions for you 1) How did you go on the journey from discovering poi to continue to push to the highest levels of poi, I know my own journey is filled with bright lights followed by pitch black in terms of where to go next so curious what yours was like. 2) what are your myers briggs letters ?

Excellent questions...though I should point out that my MBTI type has changed over the years. Which would you prefer to know: where I started or where I'm at right now?

Where are you based these days? Around the northeast US near DC? Maybe a meetup in the future around here could be cool. What are your thoughts on orbiting? What are your thoughts on shuffling? Who are some other beginner content creators? What are the top 5 best or most common poi moves for a beginner to learn? Which one of your beginner series is the best for a new poi spinner to learn?

What are some tips on the best way to become a better poi flow artist? How does traditional LED poi compare to fire poi? Is it mostly the same, or are there any significant variations in what should be switched in the style? What are the top three tips you can give a beginner flow artist? What are your tips on photographing LED or fire poi? What’s your preference for music when spinning poi? What inspired you to start spinning poi, and how did you get into it? What has been the most challenging poi move for you to master? How do you come up with new routines and choreographies? Can you share a memorable experience or performance from your poi journey? What do you think is the most important skill for a poi spinner to develop? How do you stay motivated and inspired to practice and create new content? What advice would you give to someone struggling with a specific poi move? How do you handle injuries or setbacks in your poi practice? What are some common mistakes beginners make, and how can they avoid them? How do you see the poi community evolving in the next few years? What are your favorite poi events or festivals to attend? How do you balance poi practice with other aspects of your life? Can you share any funny or unexpected moments from your poi practice or performances? What equipment do you use for filming your videos, and do you have any tips for creating quality poi content? How do you engage with your audience and build a community around your channel? What other flow arts or performance skills do you enjoy besides poi? How do you incorporate feedback from your viewers into your content? What are your long-term goals for your poi practice and RU-vid channel? Can you recommend any books, tutorials, or resources for poi spinners?

I'm not sure if you've heard of "rose, thorn, bud" but I'd love to hear yours for your own flow, as well as the flow community in general. What is one thing you are happy with, one thing you are struggling with, and one thing you are excited for?

Congratulations for 100k subs ✨this channel is awesome 💎 After how many months from when you started did your channel get monetized and what advice would you give to other youtubers who start their RU-vid journey in arts like fire poi and staff spinning? I used to edit videos and managing a RU-vid channel for a circus artist and some videos were difficult to get views although shorts were getting higher views and subs..maybe is the niche I guess?!
@DrexFactor
@DrexFactor 2 месяца назад
This one narrowly missed the final cut of the Q&A video. It's a tough question to answer because I started my channel before RU-vid monetization was a thing. If memory serves, once they announced it it took me less than a year to qualify, but I already had a start on getting there. The advice I would give to others starting their RU-vid journey in the Flow Arts is to learn about keyword targeting as soon as possible so you grow and gain traction on the platform. Learning how discovery works on this platform so that you can actually get people to find you is both easier than you'd think as well as helpful for gaining traction on other platforms as well. Tutorial content almost always does well. Learn about the Hygiene, Hub, and Hero model for producing content and that'll help out a lot. There's plenty of views available for the having, we just need to put more work into knowing how to tell the RU-vid algorithm who to serve our content up to.

1) What's your ideal handle weight for contact poi? I'm enjoying the differences in weight between SpinBalls and my new LanternSmith set. 2) how to find people who spin poi in the DFW area of Texas? I would like to have at least one person to watch/learn-from in person. I'd really hate to reinstall FB. Keep up the great work!
@DrexFactor
@DrexFactor 2 месяца назад
I'll answer the latter right now. Download the FlowArtsMeetUp app--I just checked and there's dozens of people listed in the DFW area, though I'm not sure how frequently they check their messages on the app.

@DrexFactor 2 месяца назад
Circling back around to the questions I didn't answer in my final video! I actually don't spin contact poi super often anymore, but when I do it's almost always either Orb Poi Pros or Flowmoja Poi, so whatever weight is the default for either one is what I go with. Back when I was using contact poi more regularly I'd use PomGrips with six washers of weight. I'm not sure how much that comes out to in grams.

Congrats on the huge milestone! What is your relationship with props other than poi these days, do you still have time/motivation to work on other flow arts? Or is poi the only prop you gravitate toward?
@Make.Rainbows
@Make.Rainbows 2 месяца назад
Congrats Drex! My question was the same - what other props do you use? Would you ever make more doubles tutorials or performances?
@DrexFactor
@DrexFactor 2 месяца назад
I spin poi most days and try to free up time to do it for fun as often as possible. It can be hard given the time demands of being a content creator, but I still really enjoy just putting on music and exploring the prop for a little while. It's very rare that I pick up other props. As I mentioned elsewhere, if I were to add any prop at this point it'd be fans. I also have plenty of sets of double staffs as well as hoops that I don't think I've touched in years now.

Congrats on the big 100k! Best pocket friendly led poi sets? Familiar with any flow events or something close in Utah?
@DrexFactor
@DrexFactor 2 месяца назад
Thanks! I honestly don't know of any LED poi sets that I'd recommend that fit easily into pockets (or, at least my pockets). Podpoi are nice and portable and fit in a bag, but are too big for my pockets. An event called Utah Flow Fest just happened this past weekend at BonneVille Seabase. We'll see if they have another event next year but event info can be found here: instagram.com/utahflowfest/
@MandulaEnkara
@MandulaEnkara 2 месяца назад
Woohooo congrats! My question is: is there a prop that you have not tried yet, 1. but want to, 2. and not interested in it?
@DrexFactor
@DrexFactor 2 месяца назад
No props I can think of that I haven't tried yet. There are a LOT of props, however, that other people really want me to try. As for props that I know I'm not interested in, there are a lot. Contact staff doesn't make much sense to me and by extension I really feel no pull toward dragon staff. Triads, leviwand, whips, rope dart, etc all aren't really my cup of tea. I hoop, spin double staff, and mostly spin poi and I'm pretty happy with that arrangement. If I were to add one my prop to the pile it would probably be fans.
