Hi Matt, welcome to HoP!
My state of mind is not yours to define!
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Well I have only been spinning for about a week, but I recently attended a burning man festival and that is where I got my inspiration. I have 3 moves that I picked up from video and 2-3 more I am working on that may or may not be origional. There really isint much info on the art (at least the fire version) online. I may end up picking up a book on the martial arts form that I am sure will be way over my head. My friends who have been spinning for over a year now are telling me that I am a natural, and I have spent 3-4 hours daily spinning thus far. I have really enjoyed myself thus far and hope to continue progressing over then next few months. I will get pics up soon:)
