looking for a safety / environment expert
hi guys,
I intend to do some shooting about the issues of safety and environment concerning fire-poi spinning. That's why I am looking for some sort of expert that would volunteer to do a short interview, shows how to shake off properly and shows how to prepare for a show.
Anybody interested in volunteering?

Hmmm...
Will have to see about that, but I reckon in your car is going to be easiest.
Unless Strugnell is going up that way on Wednesday...?

great to hear that you are interested
maybe you even want to help out together? shooting would take between three and four hours and it might be a little easier for the two of you if you work together?
just an idea

Just make sure it *is* your cream, and not some sadist with tiger balm..
Actually, I doubt anyone's quite that mean.. At least, I hope no-one is..

real showers, with real walls and real water. and yes, we would love it if you, and everyone else, could make the effort to bring field friendly soapy things.
only three weeks and vast amount of not panicking to go
