Encouraging word for those (such as me) who are about to use fire for the first time.
Anyone else got any "the first time I used fire……" stories to add to my ever growing confidence
Encouraging word for those (such as me) who are about to use fire for the first time.
Anyone else got any "the first time I used fire……" stories to add to my ever growing confidence One fine day in the middle of the night,
Two dead men got up to fight,
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew there swords and Shot each other.

Luckily in the last 5 months I've not had a bad fire poi injury (tempting fate, gotta to touch wood, turn around, touch the ground!). I've singed a few hairs every now and again, but nothing too bad. Maybe I've been lucky, and I only do moves I'm really comfortable with. With staff I've not even burn't myself as it's been less time and a staff you can just stop and drop.However, nad shot with beaming poi has occured once which resulted in me assuming foetal position for a good 10 minutes. And a fast eye hit with the same gave me cartoon style stars.

The first time I lit up went amazingly well. I ran through the weave and butterfly (all I knew at the time - not that I know much more now) and I didn't even lose any arm hair.the second time however, I got cocky and took a load of hair off my arms, half an eyebrow, then wrapped both poi around my wrists and lost some more hair.I give them alot more respect now.------------------Bovril - It's liquid cow y'know

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

The first time I lit up I did really well.The second time I busted myself square in the nuts. Then nothing happend for a long time. Then I got cocky (seems to be a reoccuring phrase in this thread) I tried one of Xaeda's (Damn you Xaeda) over the shoulder tosses, before I'd gotten it down w/o fire. the staff turned virtical above my head and I looked up just in time to catch it with my face 
It happend about ten minutes before a performance I was supposed to do. Had to go with half of my hair singed, and a big black mark across my face. And to this day I still have some of the black mark across my nose. It just won't come off for some reason. It's not inceadibly noticeable, unless you look, but I suppose it's a good reminder not to do stupid things with fire untill you're pretty good at doing stupid things with out it.------------------If you love something, set it on fire.[This message has been edited by SickpuPpy (edited 20 December 2001).]

On a side note:since I've noticed that getting hit in the bollocks is a pretty common theme in this thread, here are some things that help (swear to god) that I picked up in my martial arts days.Jumping up and landing hard on your heels helps. You have to keep your legs rather rigid when you do this. Another thing is to actually pull down on your sack. If they start to swell, Ice them. And if they're ruptured go straight to the hospital, and tell no one but your family 'cuz everyone else is going to laugh their ass off at you (once they're done cringing, that is).------------------If you love something, set it on fire.

If you had a friend that was a tightrope walker, and you were walking down the street and he just fell over......that would be unacceptable.

gosh - it's already Xmas according to this board. I've got a few more hours to wait...Best one I ever did was a "hand-cuff" wrap with fire that I couldn't shake off. How I laughed. My first time wasn't too bad at all though as I was pretty relaxed about my moves and didn't try anything too adventurous. It's when you start getting cocky things go pear-shaped.------------------https://welcome.to/thehugbubble The Mug Shot Gallery MSN Poi Community Words to memerise, words hypnotise, words make my mouth exercise.
