New firewhip movie

Hey all,

Took some movies of firewhip in the parking lot last night. Thought I would share one with this crowd before putting them up on my website:

Nothing all that special, but it does prove that you can throw more than a couple fireballs with a rope style whip.

awesome vid man!
i was looking at your site and im wondering to myself, if i make me one of these lil babies and ive never cracked a whip in my life can i still learn to use it well? is it relativly easy to learn? it looks like theres a bit of an art to it.
i guess what im trying to say is how hard are these lil fellas to get used to?

Hey thanks guys.

Actually, the whip is not touching the ground. I am cracking it which causes a fireball. What you are seeing is the light from the fireball reflecting off of the ground.

It really helps to have some background with a real bullwhip. Hell, even with prior whip experience a firewhip is really dangerous -- if you fuck up you
have a burning fuel-soaked wick tangled around you. If you are facing into the wind you can end up with a fireball in your face. I suggest a lot of practice unlit.

have fun, and play safe...

In response to your signature.

Now what are you going to do?

cheers fire ninja, even though it looks FUCKING AMAZING, i may jus leave it for a lil while until ive got more experience with all my other lil toys, a fireball in the face dosent really sound that attractive. cheers for the info man

Sorry Riz, no stills as of yet.... If you go to:

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

you can get a free quicktime player for any operating system. This should enable you to view the movie.

Glad you others have enjoyed it. I should have some more movies [and stills] up soon.
