I thought there was an art section on BL... Move wherever is best!



So, I've been burning for about a year now, off and on.
Here is my latest video, the quality is shite, but it's one of me best burns to date I'd say.

I'm not very good, and I'm fat, but, lets see what y'all got!
Also, anyone know of any good fire dance forums? I used to go on Glowsticking.com, but i have trouble logging in there now... :p


Love is gonna save us.
 
Awesome! This would be such a fun hobby to get into, but I'm so uncoordinated and I'd be terrified of hurting myself or someone else. :(
 
yes! this thread is cool! I'm going to start blowing fire soon...it looks so cool. I imagine tripping would be fun to blow fire for your friends out in the middle of some field.

some random google pics

I know some poi tricks, but I haven't yet tested them out with real fire. Mostly because where I live right now fire laws are so strict and its hard to find the space.

I love the look of fire fans too.

I'll reserve you a bed at the ER.
 
http://www.homeofpoi.com brilliant site with tutorials anda tool to find spinners in your area. In London we have a few weekly meetups, all informal anda good way to learn new tricks.

Can do weave, 5 beat weave, flowers, windmill, butterfly anda few other tricks.

Don't worry about being fat leojay, seen a large bloke do all sorts of things
 
WHOOOOPS.... i forgot the disclaimer on fire breathing...

ITS STUPID, DON'T DO IT.


but... its really cool...


there are very few career fire breathers, because many breathing disorders develop from breathing in kerosene mist... and from holding it in your mouth...

Jaymie, Beautiful photo! a friend of mine just ordered some fans, always a nice touch... You're truly breath-taking (if that is you in the picture)

Love always, That looks like a beautiful festival, if i had the money, i'd check it out. wonderful pics, wish the video was longer. love the nipple btw!

1024, thanks for the recommendation! i've purchased quite a bit through hop, and i should probably check out their site a bit more.

thanks for all the replies!

lets see if i can get this...

oh boy! thanks amy, for pointing this out!!

let me first begin by saying that i've been up for about 3 hours after going to bed at 9am. my night started with a small fire jam at my friend's place, followed by richie hawtin, followed by watching the sun come up with some very cool people. somewhere in there was some *tea* and a ridiculous *trip* to the corner store for some cigarettes. i have to be at work in 2 hours. the best part? i still smell like fuel. :D

poi can sometimes be too heavy for me - i have a bum shoulder that likes to pop and give out. i made some snakes that happen to be much lighter weight, and they do better for wraps around my ankles and arms to change direction. chicago has an awesome fire community, which is funny because it's uber illegal. i moved here for theatre but have become ingrained in the fire community much faster. i love it. anyway, here's a few pics for your viewing pleasure.

snakes

guess which one's me
