Can firetwirling moves be owned?
If you learnt the weave independently, does that mean you own it?
does that apply to any move you have learnt independently?
The local fire community here is also very technically diverse, and as such there is a great tendency to see the unique being anything but!

The motivation to declare ownership of them does not take a psychoanalyst to understand; we pour hours, sometimes years into 'development' of a move, and wish be recognised for it. Profesionally, some peeps may feel little need to share a move, to reinforce their differentiation.

But is it right to declare it? more to the point, is it even possible?

learning to recognise then letting go of this desire was of great significance to me as it appeared to be easy but proved deceptively elusive. Freeing oneself in this way removes a negative ego from our consciousness and truly does make happiness one step closer, if only because it makes firetwirling that much more fun!!

have you got any tales of firetwirling copyright©? they don't have to involve llamas if don't want to. Not that I'm suggestively implying it. Llamas. They're furry, y'know.

share the fun!!

yes, indeed any concept of copyrighting moves is as ludicrous as a shaved llama.

Also i note the distinction between twirling moves, routines and styles. styles are inherently personal and are thus truly owned methinks (the copyright question be damned!) and individual moves themselves are more the divisible components that maketh up a style (like the firey letters that form your pyro-name) and are more conducive to imitation.

On a side note, I'd just like to declare that all this is kinda moot in any event as Albert Hoffman taught me that we are not individuals at, but simply One Great Conciousness experiencing itself subjectively, so we but help share all our firetwirling moves...
and here's tom with the weather.

i wrote a nice reply to this yesterday.
then i pressed a button on the side of my new spangly new mouse, my browser went 'back' and i lost my post.

then i did it again today?!
stupid new microsoft mousesess - they haven't even got any balls...

so anyway, here is a summary:

no ownership.
no advanced move is one single idea (like what mr tempest said).
skateboarding comparison (again ).
ollies and 3bt weaves.
jason lee and the 360 flip.
invention vs. development and prominence.
sharing, popularity of a move and video.

probably much more interesting to read than my actual post and a shitload shorter


now bender, tell me more about this hoffman fellow...

Aparently Llama's can be used to protect sheep. I read it on the internet.

Coleman... any chance you could quote me on this:

Last night, a young man on acid realised that all matter is mearly energy condensed to a slow vibration. That, we are all one conciousness, experiencing itself, subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves....

heh well there definitely is a consensus here about the llamalike insanity in the ownership of moves.
If we agree on that principle, do we also all manifest it the same way?
i.e. Do we all behave like no-one owns certain tricks?

Coleman and Glass, did you know that he has a new album coming out posthumourously? it's gunna be called 'Shock and awe' yaaaaay!
