Let's hear how y'all lost your fire virginity and what it felt like.

For me I spun for the first time in my garden and the feeling was: "WHAT A RUSH", the soaring of the flames around you is fantastic. I was hyped up all evening, it was great.

P.s. you've lost the game

Hmm, there's gotta be something round and shiny, I can play with

thought it was about time I did fire poi so last Friday I ordered some kevlar. Arrived saturday morning, made the poi that day and did it that night smile

I think I enjoyed the first time I did fire juggling more, probably just due to the fact it was the first time I'd delt with fire. It was still a massive rush and can't wait to do it again biggrin

@Becka,

I was maybe a little anxious, but not scared. If you only do the tricks you're sure about and use the "rules" that are set on HOP, then you'll be fine.

My first experience with fire was on my diabolo and it was alittle bit of a let down frown cause it had already been doin non-fire for 6 months and had ben dreaming of fire all through this time(bigging it up in my head). But the first time i lit up i found i could do all my tricks but whats the fun of a genocide in the pitch dark when no-one can see the sticks. Thats why im thinkin of attachin wicks to my sticks devil

First did fire a couple of weeks ago at a small poi meet in cambridge. Had been practising with the fire poi unlit a while first, specially as they weighed a lot more than my practise ones. Made sure the people there knew what I should do to prepare the poi, made sure I wore cotton hoody and denim jeans, and in case of accidents, had the cam (our main river) within running distance, so wasn't too scared. Safety first indeed. ubbangel But DUDE! the noise they make, the whole watching the fire spin round thing. Poi (which I love) + Fire (which I love)=my favorite toy. It's just addictive, like farberge say. Now i always want to spin fire (at least at night), my best solo fire spin being in front of a big plate glass window in front of a cinema in central london so I could watch myself. rolleyes Always happy to spin with anything, especialy in good weather!

Because ActiveAngel sounds like a feminine deodorant

Like sex, I'm much more interesting in real life than online.

First time was a couple of months ago at a mates party. We were all drinking and such, and though I'd been spinning for a while I wasn't that confident still. But then they gave me the fire poi, lit me and I just went for it. I also got some amazing photos of it (courtesy of my girlfriend) which I've had printed and framed up. It was an amazing experience. The noise, the heat (White spirit mixed with barbecue lighter is still the fuel of choice), the lack or bodily hair from wraps (hm, that sounds worse than it needs to)... beautiful. An amazing experience, which I've repeated many times since.

Later that evening I did another burn, but in a far more wasted state. I set my hair on fire. Let that be a lesson to all you virgins!

What a wonderful miracle if only we could look through each other's eyes for an instant.

Spun my first fire Friday night at Burning Man. We had a flame thrower set up that I used to light them from a weave. After a minor fumble I realized I wasn't flammable and really got going. Another one of our campers lit up and we started drawing a crowd. By the time I ran out of gas a few other fire spinners in the neighborhood (staffs and long chain) joined in and it turned into a spontaneous event.

I met so many great spinners out there and saw some absolutely mind blowing moves. I am totally hooked on fire now and itching to learn more.

My first time was last year on the downs in Bristol, with my sister's Poi. I had been practicing that afternoon on all sorts of tricks like 5-point backwards weave (look, it impressed me at the time, OK?) only to find that with fire I was too scared to do anything like that which brought the flames close to my head. Then I tried the double-headed Poi and contented myself with butterfly and just spinning them with my eyes shut praying I wouldn't die. Only slightly exagerating.

What I fear most is isolation

My first time was by this canal near my home. like angel phoenix, i had my friend know what to do if anything happened. there was a bottle of water and i had a scarf over my head (at least if there was any accidents, i'd be able to go to school. =P)

the adrenaline rush was incredible!! the swishing of the poi by your head. just reminds you that it's there even though you are trying to focus on just your hands. i was telling myself just think of your hands but it was hard. everytime it swished by, it was like, "I'm playing with fire!!"

but it was real awesome. Faberge, i couldn't have put it better. sex, chocolate, viagra AND poi. =P

I lost my fire virginity in the backyard of a friend, he learned me how to breath fire and that moment was intens!! the fire rolling away from you...

My first timer with poi was 2 years later, after a fireshow I did where I saw this lady doing things with fire I'd dreamed of for years indead.
Half an hour later it was me swinging the poi.
The sound of Poi indead is a turn on as is the sight..

I just lost my fire virginity tonight. It's been a few hours since, and I still feel exhilerated! The sound of flames rushing past your face is quite a rush. I am definately addicted.

A bunch of folks get together from time to time at this beach in El Segundo and spin and whatnot. They call these little gatherings Moon Tribe - good people grouphug Nothing like spinning fire on the beach.

I also happened to get some good photos out of the night. Score!
