Pele and Malcolm's videos

Ummm, I did a Durbs, and nothing came up

I'd like to think that there is already a thread out there on this, and so mods, if there is, feel free to lock this discussion.

Congratulations to Pele and Malcolm on the production of the fire safety video and the interview with Pele.

What an effort, you both deserve a big round of applause.

Definately. I agree, though having watched the bloopers vid as well, I think they had far too much fun doing a serious safety video!

yeah i also enjoyed watching it...good job guys!

I watched it (the backyard spinners video) and I do a lot dirffrent than in the video. does this mean Im a danger to myself and my envoirement. do I underestemate the flame? am I a bad boy if i do not have a towel with me? or when I spin off?

I posted this in the thread about it over an hour before you

Technically Flid, that thread is about Col 2005, and not the safety vids specifically...so this is still relevant

I'm glad that it seems to be being received well. It *was* fun to make. Malcolm, Chris, Karen and Tim were great to work with and extremely supportive and generous, especially with the tissues.

I've now heard from a couple of people who have said this has helped how they view safety and two who are rethinking their choice to fire breathe. That is what this was for and has really made making it worth it for me.

i read the title 'malcolm and peles videos' and expected much more, but on downloading the video, its almost as good.

cheers, pete

Pete that is soooo rude!

I d/l and watched last night, and I have to say, Pele gets all the good lines, i.e. she gets all the lines!

Very informative chaps, thank you very much for the time and effort that went into it... I will be making sure that people I know who spin fire without any research will be getting a telling off and a fire safety checklist, and these vids.

Thanks again!

I like seeing Malcolm in a dress.

and a tight pair of cycling shorts..

Well done, and very nice work on this. Its a great idea

'malcolm and peles videos'... Pete- yes. But im going to stay silent about that

Pete...how'd you find out about those?



Flashpoint...Malcolm says "Am I ready for fire?"..so I didn't get all of them.

'you look like the Maggie Thatcher out of Madame Tusaudes!'
excellent

Just downloading the safety vid now

Ohh yeah definately a few laughs were had........Even my goat (Pushie made it into the backyard safety vid part. If ya look carefully at the beginning in the background behiind my kombi van you can see my goat (Pushie)........Definately glad not all the blooper bits made it on though...
Yes you know the dodgey bits I mean Pele
Malcolm in a dress.... From memory filming had to stop so Pele could stop giggling like a school girl at that stage....... Great to hear that you have received positive feedback from it also Pele...

very good. very informative.
It still needs chatter in a pub yet but people who attend the Hastings spin are almost certain to be using the fire safety check list, amongst other legalities, in conjuntion with the video at spins from now on.

thank you

pele, after thinking for a solid 20 minutes of how i found out, im pretty much drawing a blank, so ill just say google, that works.

cheers, pete

"Avoid dangley bits"

I learned a lot from the safety vid - extremely well put together and informative. Thanks to HOP and Pele for going to all that time and expense for our benefit. I'm sure many accidents will be avoided as a direct result of your hard work

Pele

From what you have posted on here, and from your video, we all know you had a *very* hard time of it, and we know the reasons for sharing it with the global fire community. If your interviews/safety advice prevents anyone else from having an accident like yours, then you will have succeeded.

For my part, I now take every precaution (apart from the kitty litter ) when I spin fire. When I practice at home, I have a welder's flame retardant suit so I dont hurt myself... And I always use "safe" fuels.

I'm trying to start a local community in Chester, and your teachings will form an integral part of anyone who wishes to spin fire.

Keep fighting the good fight!

pele: both, of course, with some other, erm, keywords.

cheers, pete

Where can I get a pair of shorts like Malcolm had on?
