My most favorite spinner is Sage (Sangre Del Sol, Fire Troupe), she's a BAD A$$!! And does some of the most amazing things and doesn't get lost in being a trickster, she stays a dancer.
Now for Fire Eating, Hooping, and Dancing in general I would have to say Forkawaza (Mandalights, Fire Troupe, France). Forka puts a whole new twist on amazing fire eating and is the only person I've seen perform the Flaming Soup trick. Though I have to say I have been impressed with EVERY member of the Mandalights fire troupe, my favorite troupe hands down.

My most favouritist spinner, from the little I've seen - ooh this could be a poem - is Mr McLean.
Have not actually had the pleasure of meeting yet, but he does similar things to me except better i.e. puts a staff on himself and wiggles about underneath it. In a good way.
Win.

Ronan is awesome. I absolutely love Yuta's flow. There are just so many wonderful spinners out there I don't think I could choose a favorite (those two have just been on my mind lately).

I have to say I love Nick for his style and grace. his movements are so well put together and without him i would not be anywhere near as good as i am now.
G is an inspiration and a constant reminder that however good you think you might be, you can always be neater and use your space better.
Nevisoul because his martial arts like style is unreal and there's some tricks i'd love to learn off him.
Jay Latour, because his style reminds me of my own... only better.
Lastly but certainly not least, Pineapple Pete because he melts my brain!

More and more, G is becoming my primary inspiration. His control is spotless, and I love the way he travels through his planes. I watch his performances and feel like the fire is dancing with him, not like he's spinning things on chains.

A few additions to my last post. The Fakyrai group out of Lithuania is INSANE!!!! They are so inspiring, work VERY well together and are just so amazing. I get goose bumps every time I watch them. Here's a link to one of their videos. The fire breath off the buzzsaw is SIIICK!
Yuta, easily. He's been a massive inspiration for me, and my goal is to reach his level in less than a year ("good luck with that", you're probably thinking, haha).
Nick Woolsey and Nathaniel Everist have been massively helpful with their tutorials, so I'm very grateful to them too.
