My first burn was tuesday!

I started off by meeting two amazing people, one had been spinning for 6 years and a girl he taught had been spinning for 3 years, anyways they wound up teaching me, and when i started i had a goal of being able to burn in about a month.

Anywyas a month turned into exactly a week from the day i started practicing religiously, now i'm talking staying up all night in my room practicing my butt off.

I learned some moves in some weird places....union station, the bus stop at cherry beach, a elevator 0_o.

Anywyas i went to a get together at kensington market and was praticing for hours and it was finally getting dark and my friend i came with who burns said, "ok i'll spin off for you and get the flame a little lower and then i'll pass it to you" and so there developed the plan.

Now to my AMAZING luck there was a camera crew there developing a documentary on this kind of performance and what not and when they herd i was doing my first burn they intervied me and got me to sign some permissons forms so they could video tape me and interview me about my experiance after *thank god i turned 16 a week b4 so i could sign for mself :D)

Anyways night came, my friend fueled up the staff, lit it, spun off and did her amazing dance while spinning, off in her own world, it was beautiful, the next thing i knew, i had a flaming staff in my hand and was spinning.

Now befor all this happened i was REALLY nervous like everything was shaking and everything but the second i had the staff in my hand my nerves were 100% calm, the shaking stopped and i was doing it just like i praticed, over the arm, spin behind the back, over the head, under the leg, behind the back, throw. lol it was amazing.

Eventully the fuel burned out after about 2 minutes.(its the white gas that dosent last very long) and then my friend ran up to me and gave me the bigges hug ever and said i did amazing.

Even to right now i have the bigges adrenaline rush EVER. and i really REALLY wanna burn ASAP its like a huge addiction.:P My friend tried waking me up this morning and the first thing i said was "leave me alone i wanna burn more" lol

Anyways i have officialy fallen in love with spinning staff and my first burn went really well, no burns, no accidents, it was done with about 20 other people who are experianced burners around, and i met 2 other people who did their first burn the same night as me. Over all i am just amazed by how fast i have fallen in love with fire spinning and i am so happy i discovred it at such a young age smile

Anywyas thats me and i hope to meet alot of you and share stories and experiances XD

Thanks for reading

Happy Spinning grin
