The best thing I've ever done with fire.

Sometimes we get caught up in the behind the back isolations and 6 wicked fire ropes that we forget how truely poignant fire can be.

Yesterday I helped put together a memorial for the victim of a totally senseless murder in New York City.

It was an honor being able to contribute by spinning fire along the precession from the church to where she was slain.

When we got to the location a chalk outline of the victim was drawn and we laid some lamp oil soaked kevlar rope over the outline. Her Finacee poured whitegas over it and lit some dried flowers, which in turn, lit the pool of whitegas and her chalk outline. This particular picture doesn't really do it the fire justice because it's later on in the burn.



I've never seen fire burn quite like that. Rather than burning upwards, the rope burned inwards creating spirals of flames rising up from her silhouette. It was absolutely spiritual.

After having done clubs and parites and freestyle fire gatherings, doing something like this was so much more meaningful.

I was honored to have had the opportunity.

Stay safe everyone.

I read that story, its a sad thing that happened,

i really wish i hadnt read that article its so unbelieveably sad that such a senseless crime can occur, i feel so sorry for her fiance to lose someone so special so pointlessly, i hope that the shooter comes to fully understand and suffer for their actions

"Four men twirled balls burning on the ends of chains during the march."

Twriling balls on the end of chains? What kind of crazy stuff is that?

That's a really sad story. Why do these people do that kinda thing, was there a reason at all?! Really makes you want to get out there and do something about it, but what can you?

Thats sounds like a good thing to do NYC, looks good.

Even if all guns were banned, you would still get them in the street gangs. There isnt really anything anyone can do.

That was really sweet what was done. But sad about the occasion.

Such a tragedy.
Does anyone notice that the gentleman identified as her boyfriend in the first article doesn't look like the fellow in the second article?

He does if you've seen him. The first photo isn't a good one. I'd say he looks more like the second but it's definitely him in the first.

One's face tends to distort when it's been pistol whipped.

I can't even imagine what he's going through right now!

At least she got a special send off

congratulations on contributing to such a beautiful memorial. i'm glad that you were able to work out how to do the outline the way you wanted to. were you friends with her? take care

No, unfortunately, I never did get to meet her. We rolled with the same crew though apparently.
