Them: Isn't that dangerous?
Me: Extremely. But I like doing it.

But if someone says "I smoke" then people don't immediately point out "Smoking is really dangerous you know, and might kill you". That seems to be the default response to "I Fire Breathe" though...

Its strange how fire breathing is such a big issue on hop it overshadows the dangers of other arts,
how about the boy from peles interview who was steamed "like a lobster" and ended up with "3rd degree burns over 70% of his body" after a poi spinning accident

In general people who only spin fire poi or staff are much less concerned with safety than fire breathers
Written by: Spiderbaby
Cant everyone just accept fire breathers are willing to take a risk not many people are so stop pestering them by telling them the dangers they already know?

I'd also like them to know that most of their peers in the arts with any sense, tend to see fire-breathing as being more a display of lack of self-respect, than an impressive or skillful art.

After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

I Fire Breathe because I like the sight, I like the sound and I like the experience. Can any of you say different for why you spin Fire?

2. relatively limited in terms of variety of 'moves'
3. I personally have never seen a fire breathe that I'd want to watch; I've seen plenty of spinning that I do want to watch, admire and learn from

bizarrely enough, these are almost identical accusations as those levelled at firespinning by non-pyro-influenced jugglers.
just an observation
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Poi basics are relatively easy to learn, but from then on it's like any movement art, requiring dedication and lots of practice to develop advanced moves and flowing combinations.
