It was only for a really short time and then it went out, but still, not putting myself on fire made me very proud...
I also learned an easy yet affective move.
All thet happened at a really cool folk-country festival.
Just wanted to share blush

That is awesome you span some fire. Isn't it cool... it's thrilling.. and now that you know you can do it you can improve and do all kinds of moves. Don't worry about hitting yourself as long as you don't have polyester or silk or thin cotton and it's not laying on you you won't catch on fire. People who catch on fire are the ones mixing fuels. Read up on what types of fuel are best. But yes congratulations your fire journey has begun.

Oh... blush The culture differences, eh?
and reading the message again I see it says pish and not fish blush blush blush
And yeah, it's really thrilling! I can't wait to spin fire again. Unfortunately, I missed a fire gahtering this weekend... It's the second time I know of one and can't go, but hopefully I'll be there next time Smile
