I picked up poi 24 hours ago and oddly enough the two hardest tricks on this list are the ones that I took to first. They came so natural to me having a glow stick background the others although simpler are much harder for me. I will be coming back to this video for referencing LOL
My Fiance jus got me some poi spin balls, she said she got them cuz I hav great rhythm and I like to dance wen we go to shows... I'm gonna watch this video a couple times and try to learn something from u...
I was surprised to realize that the 3 beat is more difficult. It explains why I had a tough time as a beginner. I'm teaching a 10 year old and wanted him to see which he would like to start with. Thanks Drex!
Real talk. This man right here CHANGED MY LIFE, on New Year’s Eve 2019! I SWORE I WAS GANNA GET BETTER! And thanks to drex, I did! I watched his first five tricks. X) but he’s not only inspired me to get better. But to also make video tutorials of my own 😊 but he is the FORST person I recommend to any body that reaches out to me asking how to “get as good as me”, we’ll never be “as good as drex” we’ll only be as good as ourselves 😂it’s about perfecting your own style!!! But this man right here will help you by FAR GET THERE!!!😊 I love you bro words will never describe the gratitude that I hold for you! THANK YOU
I like how he uses steps to get to each trick by using arms only at first or one arm and poi. I mastered the butterfly that way otherwise I would never have got that.
For some reason, I have a really tough time trying to learn reels and flowers. But funny enough, I can 3 beat weave like it's nothing, and I actually accidentally figured out waistwraps when I was trying to learn 5 beat weaves
me too, both forward and reverse 3 beat, shoulder reels feel unnatural. I think my LED Poi are too light, as I also have socks that I find easier. I've taken the plunge and ordered some Podpoi to see if it helos
thank you for the video your really good at explaining everything also tip from me it would be nice to see it from opposite view like if you did a 180 so see it from other angles
I think I would throw buzzsaw somewhere on there. It's a move that's relatively easy to pick up and while it doesn't act as a gateway to too many other tricks, it wows any crowd no matter what set it is part of. Sometimes when you're starting out it's nice to just enjoy that as something to fall back on when you're working and struggling through other tricks.
I picked up poi about 5 months ago. I would say that I am getting pretty good at most of those. Need to work on flowers, Windmills and waistwraps. You have helped me so omuch - keep putting out this amazing content.
Not going to lie, I was kinda expecting the 2-beat to be on that list. I know the inclusion of the 3 beat on your list basically covers it, but for me the 2 beat was the biggest roadblock I overcame when learning poi. I don't know how, but mastering this move just flicked something on in my head and allowed me to get a much better understanding of flow arts.
Edit: It's called Split poi flower opposite direction! HOLY CRAP! I didnt even have any basics down for YEARS besides 3 pt weave, butterfly and a simple windmill! I was just playing around in the mirror to a fast song! (Took 3.5 hours in the mirror lol) I just taught myself something really cool that prob has a name! Can u help?? I think it's like a anti clockwise pendulum with stalls and snapping lateral arm "extensions". It looks and feels cool as hell and must be done VERY FAST with very little cord danging so it snaps straight when doing fast stalls
ahhhh thank you so much for posting this video!!! I’ve been practicing on and off for months now because I’ve been having trouble learning how to progress and this helps so much and provides so much guidance on furthering my poi journey haha! please keep teaching and thank u for being u! I’m extremely grateful :-)
Best tip: Use SOCK POI and do this ONLY in a mirror for the complicated multi directional ones (or watch your shadow outdoors)! Either that or pack an ice pack and cross your fingers!
It's just an overview to see what the tricks are. It's difficult to learn from an overview. You need to watch a video that breaks a trick down into steps.
It’s true! Fortunately I do both-the tutorials for each trick are listed in the description. Here they are again in case you missed them: Pendulums: ruclips.net/video/vB6D8wsjTNg/видео.html Extensions: ruclips.net/video/x_b0cUIsjXM/видео.html Butterfly: ruclips.net/video/ZxjROR4VwDU/видео.html Reels: ruclips.net/video/hTaFdsuBvjk/видео.html Stalls: ruclips.net/video/arOE4Q-k_lM/видео.html Windmills: ruclips.net/video/NKdWI3PYqGs/видео.html Inspin Flowers: ruclips.net/video/4_x8W5HQnbs/видео.html Tuck Turns: ruclips.net/video/h2CChcNsPRI/видео.html Weaves: ruclips.net/video/NbXkW-zw7fw/видео.html Waistwraps: ruclips.net/video/Rv-qORLgzL8/видео.html
As I explain at the end of the video, tutorials of all these tricks are linked to in the description, as well as a playlist teaching them in order. Teaching each of them in this video would have made it more than an hour long.

Great to hear and welcome to the wonderful world of flow! 😃

@@lemsip207 honestly that's how I teach new flow artist to begin with now too!
This is very cool and very beneficial. When I started spring poi I was mostly doing a 2 beat weaves.
For some reason, I have a really tough time trying to learn reels and flowers. But funny enough, I can 3 beat weave like it's nothing, and I actually accidentally figured out waistwraps when I was trying to learn 5 beat weaves

The video I’ve been looking for!
5 months in flow and I'm loving it. Thanks Drex for making my journey so enjoyable ❤

I love this trick and I love how easy it is to learn. A showstopper move that is one of the easiest tricks to learn, for sure
I've learned so much from you.
You're a sweet and awesome teacher ❤ thank you so much for the inspiration!
💖💖💖
Thank you so much for this!!!
this is a great list.

This was for me but with stalls and windmills. When I learned those something just clicked for me!

Hey drex thanks for this one :) Would you like to do even part two? Like 10 tricks more to learn after mastering these ones?
Great idea! I’ll see what I can do 🤔

Thanks so much Drex, you are very neat and precise! thanks for the playlist !!! 🙂
Very nice video, thanks!!
Thanks drex for being you
Like a smarty, I started with a 3 Beat Weave, Pendulum, and tricetra, not smart lol, got em down now, but still workin out that 5 beat weave🤣🤦
Love your content!!!!

What about water mills 🧐🧐🧐
This is amazing but I wish it went into depth on how to do each trick. I can’t just watch these and pick it up 😭
If you click the "Show More" in the bottom right of the description box, there are links to the in depth tutorial videos.
And too much talk.
It's just an overview to see what the tricks are. It's difficult to learn from an overview. You need to watch a video that breaks a trick down into steps.
Start at 2:25. You're welcome!
Teach them Right. Pivet point And Zone out
Be good, Drex.
Lurv. :)
Showing and teaching isn’t the same thing

Blah blah, info starts a 2:20
You dont explain any moves, just show them? I wish you would talk through how to do them... dissapointed
You also dont show yourself starting the swing? I thing you should go more in depth or at least "pull back the curtain"
