Done a search and forgive me if this has been done, but I was wondering where people would spin if they could go anywhere..
I would love to perform on one of those tall pillars of rock in the sea with no obvious way on or off.
I think that a wide angle shot of that at dusk/dawn would make a great shot as well as some sense of harmony with nature....
A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

i've done the whole spinning fire on slippery uneven rocks by the sea, not the best place H&S wise to spin!
I'd hafta go with somewhere nice, warm, relaxing, desolate, by the sea, where I can just chill out the other 99% of the time

have a photo of one person spinning on each point of a sail on top of the sydney opera house, that'd look soooo cool!

Theres a pier in Brighton that was burned down a few years ago and the remains are still there.There are these pillers that come out of the beach that used to form part of it, about 10 of them. I'd love to get fire spinners on each of them! Were not supposed to even touch it though.
But the day will come. We have to get one perfect day to do it, coz for sure well get stopped after a while and chased away.

Defenitly, will more than likely be within the next two months. Were just waiting for that perfect weather to arrive! ...and of coarse, enough competant spinners!

The West Pier in Brighton would be kinda cool. They might be a bit worried about it burning down again. Doesn't Chris Eubank own it now, or am I tripping?
I'd quite like to attempt a firespinning bungee jump, i think that'd look pretty.
As for places, I wanna spin fire at the top of that massive waterfall, the one in Jurassic Park. Think it's in Hawaii. That'd be sweeeet.

To behonest I'm not sure, I'd like to spin in loads of new exotic places. Places where there is true ancient culture's, Sunshine and tranquility. Maybe an old temple in cambodia or something like that.

Eisreisenwelt. If I remember the spelling right. Not fire though, that would be mad.
Google it... Very pretty.

I would like to spin on Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge... along the Antrim Coast of Northern Ireland... it looks like this:

However, I'd really love to spin on the Giant's Causeway... also along the Antrim Coast. It would be very difficult because of the shaped stones and it'd be really slippery. Here's a couple of pics, in case you haven't seen it before:

Mags:Chris Eubanks does not own the pier, he wanted to apparently, but the council would not allow it. They still dont know what to do with the pier though, I hope they just leave it, it's pretty.
We often play with fire just under the pier and no ones, stopped us yet, but we are relatively hidden from anyone not already on the beach.
I once saw loads of people climb up a mountain in Rustlers Valley in South Africa. There must have been about 30 of them and they positioned themselves all along the top cliff and started spinning as the sun was going down. I had'nt started fire yet so was unable to take part, and I havent had a chance to go back since. It looked amazing from the ground, I'd defenitly like to go back and spin there!

there's the ruins of an arena in Turkey that are still pretty much full intact, and the tunnel that originally went to where the fighters for the arena were based is very close to pitch black in the day time, so a picture of someone fire spinning in almost total darkness, with the picture being taken from in the arena floor would look damn cool if it worked

But I'd really like to spin on a deserted island

nope, but i may be doing it for A level, i went to turkey on a school trip about 2 years ago.
there's also another place in turkey where there are three or four HUGE columns that used to be part of a temple, and they're surrounded by water and pretty much flat topped
