Cool I like the start of it

o_O What the hell? That's badass!

That's what happens when you mix a 3 foot chain, 9 feet of kevlar rope, a thick wick, some colemans camp fuel, and sparklers.


DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME



without a camera

FIRE POI

I'm favoriting all of these!

Fire rope dart in the instance!
I do staff, rope dart, palm torches, longer torches/clubs, but I'm really any good at poi yet.

I love rope darts =3

I've never used fire before, though I've been wanting to. I have to be content with practicing with really long socks stuffed with a tennis ball. I can't even use my flowlights anymore because they're so broken. Q_Q

Well if you want to get into fire just hunt down a regional group of fire dancers.

I think it would be easy actually. There's a group local to me called Atlanta Psytrance, every time they hold a party there's tons of poi dancers that show up. And they're crazy talented.

Then talk to them. Some fire performers are aloof and tend try and hold on too the secrets, tricks and things they've learned over the years, others will be completely open and will enjoy teaching you stuff.

If you were even remotely local me and my group would hook you up.

I can already tell you best fuels, places to get pre-made tools/props/toys, things like that.

Oh man, fire poi is beautiful.

That's HOT. lawl </pun>.

Really though, it's beautiful. Massive props for fire dancing.

You said in a comment above that it's not fire poi. But man, most beautiful thing I ever saw was fire poi. I wish i could learn to fire dance like that, but i'd probably be too scared to do anything. I'm kinda okay with the the non-flaming variety of poi. =P Like, I don't kill myself or random passer-by. But I'd never be able to do it with fire. Too scary.

Fire is intimidating but easy to deal with. When you learn how it acts it is easy to predict. If you found even a small group of fire dancers in your region you could probably learn to do it. It is simultaneously dangerous, and incredibly safe.

OH WAIT the marketability is the danger...


THIS SHIT WILL KILL YOU STOP AND NEVER TRY IT

xP Hee. Thanks. Do you know of any good fire dancing groups in Atlanta, by chance...? =D

No but as big as Atlanta is I would bet money there is one.
if you try meetup.com you might be able to find something, it's no guarantee because even as a very massively used network I never here it mentioned really, outside of personal use. So I have no idea how many fire groups would be using it.

Tribe.net is also probably a good start, if I remember correctly it's a social networky thing for burningman types, and if you know anything about burningman you know it is basically the biggest thing a fire dancer can ever go to, so think about what you might find there eh?

So Those are at least the two resources I know of. I'd probably be in your position if I moved to atlanta (not exactly unlikely either), so good luck.
