Roller Disco fire poi?!

I have been asked to spin fire at a roller disco event in Leeds and thought it might be fun.

The only problem is I am not that great at roller skating. I can spin poi whilst walking or moving around but im not sure about skating at the same time.

Has anyone ever roller skated/bladed or ice skated whilst spinning fire before?

Icon does - there was a video of him in his thread i seem to remember.

We got asked to do half-time (well, inter-third) entertainment for our local ice hockey team once...

I'm assuming they're closing the rink or roping off an area for you - the risk assesment for that otherwise would be insane...

I've tried once with a staff and it was fine (although I'm pretty sturdy on inline skates)

Wheels of fire

I'd think take a pass on the skates unless you skate as easily as you walk, certainly don't assume they expect you to do it on skates just as it's at a rink.

yeah i've done it...wicked fun! Contact staff is actually surprisingly fun (and easy?) with skates because you can turn in such smooth constant circles...

Yeha i have done it, and it is great fun.
I have also hula hooped on rollerskates which was also lots of fun.

But I have done a lot of skating playing inline hockey and working up to hopefully doing rollerdurby, so i would say pass on the skates if you are not comfortabele because it will affect how good your poi spinning will look.

*runs to skates...peruses which pair to use* next step vert poi (i think staff could be a little dangerous here)

I seem to remember a vert ramp fire staff video being posted a long time ago... Dunno where you would find it though.

done it on the ice, yup yup

There are some sweet videos of Ninja Rob on ski's with nunchux and staff...
