I lit my fire staff for the first time last weekend too - put a couple of pictures in my gallery - I only know the basics (the very basics) but it was good fun and quite the thrill!!

The noise and heat are quite impressive at first! I had my 2nd and 3rd burns on saturday night just past and I successfully managed to set myself alight and extinguish myself so thats another box checked!!

im trying to move on to more complicated contact with my practise staff... and my blue glow staff.... i tinhk its unwise to do it with fire though... cos im crap i guess
im yet to burn myself or set myself on fire... and i dont intend to either. but i guess its inetivable!

Congrats to all you new burners
Wouldn't recommend Dizzy's approach tho' - you don't get to choose how big the scar's are or where they are! :ouch:
Never forget my first burn - 19th December 2004 , think you were there Pete? - and most times I light up even now, the smell and noise are enough to take me back to the anticipation edged with fear, the thrill of actually spinning with fire - like a virgin anticipating, well y' know
