Find a Friend 

Any activate is more for with friends, and flow arts can be a great way to make friends too. One of my best friends i meet because of poi. Now we hang out all the time and spin poi together. We also do Partner poi. Which is when you spin poi together in sync. You can also do partner staff, juggling or anything. Here's some inspiration to not be a lonely juggler and go make some new friends!

Contact staff

Another great flow art that is easy to make at home. It is the same to make as making double staffs(watch video posted with double staff post) but instead of making two you make one long one. If you go to your local hardware store you can find replacement broom handles that work great. You may have to cut off the ends because of the attachment that goes on to the broom head, and the other end because it my be rounded. It is important to find one that is evenly balanced. Once you get one made get outside and start practicing! Become a Jedi master like this guy.

Hooping

Everyone has hula hooped as a child, and if you haven't you should defiantly try it. keeping it up is very hard at first and just keeping it up is not even half of it. The amount of tricks you can do with a simple hoop of multiple hoops is amazing. Also hoops are very easy to make at home. Here is a video on how to do so.

And here what you can do once you make one

Practice

When practicing poi, I always run into people who ask to try them. After spinning them for five minutes and hitting them selves once or twice they say "i can't do it". Well no one can just pick up something and become a master at it first try. Everything requires practice. So don't get discharged if at first it doesn't work. If you can't figure out a move try a different one. Getting stuck on one move is very frustrating, and it's all about having fun! Also, don't practice the same move over and over again. You will start to developing muscle memory and learning new moves well become even more difficult. So when practicing never spend to much time on one move and learn it both ways!! you will be happy when you don't have to go back and learn the same move in the other direction. Here is a video of what i have learn with lots of practice.=]

Puppy Hammer 

Puppy hammer is a mix of a rope dart, poi and meteor. A puppy hammer is as long as a rope dart, one piece like a meteor, can be held like poi and in many other ways. Puppy hammer is simple to make at home and cheap. Puppy hammer dose take up a lot of room so it is best to practice outside.

Double Staff

One of the many staff arts. Many people that have already learned poi have an easier time learning Double staff, or vice versa, because a lot of the moves translate over. Double staff is also similar to poi because they are very easy to make at home. The video below goes over how to make them.

After making your own double staffs. Watch some inspiration and get outside and start practicing.In this video there are many tech and contact moves. Also some poi!

Diabolo

Diabolo Is a juggling prob consisting of a spool which is whirled and tossed on a string tied to two sticks held one in each hand. Diabolo has been around seance the 12th century and still people are creating new moves and styles. recently contact diabolo has been becoming popular. Diabolo is scene all over the world and the web, so it is easy to find how to videos to get started. Also they are not to expensive. Starting as low as $15. Here is what you could do with enough practice.
