Crimson_Fyre member Registered: 02/10/03 Loc: Pacific NW, USA	I FINALLY DID MY FIRST BURN! i don't have money for pro equipment and I've only been training for about a year so I normally just tape glowsticks to a stick and play. However, This last weekend I was staying with a friend who spins. He let me use his equipment and I got to spin a real fire staff for my first time. It's so very different. The heat, the whoosh sounds, the burns(lol), IT WAS INCREDIBLE! The thrill I got easily beats any skateboarding or anything else i have ever done. I have a new love in my life, that love is fire staff. _________________________ I'm not strange... I'm just not like you.

Crimson_Fyre member Registered: 02/10/03 Loc: Pacific NW, USA	Thanks, I just made a ghetto fire staff, I was careful about how I made it and it should be safe. Can anyone tell what a good piping would be to use for a better staff? I really want to make it to one of the Portland Firejams sometime, it sounds like a lot of fun. Anyone else from the NW let me know, theres not a lot of firedancers around here. C Ya Later _________________________ I'm not strange... I'm just not like you.

Gherkin Inventor Registered: 06/04/05 Loc: Hobart	IMO, the best way to make a firestaff is to use a hollow aluminium tube with a bit of oak dowel inside each end. Congrats on your first burn and welcome to the board!

Mr Majestik coming to a country near you Registered: 09/03/04 Loc: home of the tiney toothy bear	Gherkin would know, he has nice doubles......although they're small wicks, all staffs should have 4 inch wicks. _________________________ "but have you considered there is more to life than your eyelids?" jointly owned by Fire_Spinning_Angel and Blu_Valley

That's going to change... When I have the money and Indigo have a huge roll of 4" wick. First burns are awesome. First burns with new toys are almost as good.
