OMG that was the best poi performance i´ve ever seen ! Congrats, i started spinning at june and i am totally in love with the poi and staff. this was insane! Congrats again.
first time ive seen glowsticking wraps incorporated into poi. i guess anything is possible with fire poi as long as ur wearing protection haha. i am in love with his weave variations. very creative.
I'm blown away. Haven't checked this for a while and can't believe it has so many plays, thank you to much for watching and sharing everyone! :) to answer a couple questions. The first song is by parov stelar, the second is the mighty mighty bosstones. I live in colorado springs co, and indeed I do teach, I run a poi workshop and all skill levels are welcome. Message me on facebook for info. Much love my fellow flow artists!
Check out this years RAW performance, brought to you by Castland Productions. Solterra Circus Arts on facebook, Extra Sensory Productions, yeah yeah boi! :D John AutoBahn Performs Fire Poi at RAW Awards Denver - Castland Productions
Very talented fire spinner. I can definitely tell that he started with glowsticks. A very wrapped base style with a lot of btb with more flow than tech, doesn't make it any less impressive though. Also, dear people taking the video... remember everything you're saying is being recorded and you sound ridiculous. :P
Pierre, just watched your 2012 performance. Outstanding! Johnny is a great friend of mine and always open to constructive criticism. You should hit him up!
26 inch double loop pair of pro-series cords(ball chain) with medium cathedral wicks. Ball chain is not the most durable, gotta be careful about tugging on orbitals or tangles, I would recommend links if you're worried about them breaking, but I love cathedrals.
ok, one question the poi doesn't look new and has some soot/black on it, yet the shirt stays clean when he bounces them of his body HOW? do yu just clean the black with a cloth and that's it? I do not use any cover on my poi heads and I ALWAYS get dirty during training (plus when i practice indoors I make the walls dirty which really annoys my landlord :P)
Great performance, the one thing I'd like to see is a little more speed variation in his spinning. His style is fast and clean but there is no crescendo. Fast spinning is a good effect when contrasted with slow spinning, more speed variation would make the performance more dynamic and interesting to watch for the entire duration
and what is the length of the chain? (from crazytoys, home of poi or which shop) Sorry for these questions, but im gonna buy steel ball chain, and i need it to be very tough so i ask always when i can :D )
I have been doin poi for a long time and im know where near as good as this, you make it look so effortless and easy. i have probably watched this 100 times and still think "how the hell does he pull all these moves together so easily and quickly" ABSOLUTE QUALITY!!!!!! the only reason i think it hasnt got more views is because of the thumbnail picture when you search for it, doesnt look appealing enough as fire poi.
I'm using normal pig skin gloves you can find at home improvement stores, though I wouldn't really reccomend them, the top is fabric and they burn up relatively fast.
i spin poi too, and just gotta say, wearing those clothes while the poi are burning is an incredibly unsafe thing to do. i have to say, you do a good job, but you probably dont practice in that suit, lol my only complaint is that its dangerous. GJ
