Does anyone here practice with poi? The flag kind or the fire kind? How are you finding it?

I've spun a bit of fire and it's great fun. My roommates spin poi and belly dance professionally and they've been teaching me. Did you have specific questions or were you just seeing who out there spins as well? http://www.homeofpoi.com has a lot of good information and all kinds of poi for sale. If you haven't been there, it's worth a look.
