I've never burnt myself with poi. EVER.
Getting burned is NOT part of fire spinning.
Just like smashing your head open on rocks is NOT part of cliff diving.

If you ever say anything so stupid again, I'm going to come back up to st Andrews and EDUCATE YOU. With much smackdown.
Or force you to learn plate spinning, whichever is worse.

I'm sorry but in my view it has to be part of it otherwise people would try learning new moves with fire. -Avoiding- getting burned or singed has to be part of fire spinning in the same wat that avoiding cracking your head open on rocks has to be part of cliff diving therefore burns are part of fire spinning (xander logic, its messed up at best). And because most of the people I normally spin when in Glasgow with do a heck of a lot of wraps getting small burns from the metal parts of the poi is normal. Ergo my comment about every spinner I know, as I only really know a few well.

There's nothing wrong with doing wraps or even catches with fire poi as long as you use the right wicks and the right fuel.
You get nothing more severe than some slightly singed hair if you do it right.

But thats the problem with doing wraps, the time when they dont work and you end up tying yourself up. There is no-one who can do a wrap perfectly 100% of the time,

And you never know how you or your saftey will react until you've been in that situation.

If you can do wraps reliably and use the right fuel and poi, then sure, you'll not burn yourself some of the time, however you will burn yourself. (the exception is if you do wear proper protective clothing, that won't catch fire/cause steam burns because they have to be used damp/can withstand long exposure to flames etc)

But please, do not advise newbies, who potentially could be minors, who could have no other knowledge of fire spinning to do the same.
