Firespinning Anyone?

No it's not. 9 gigs in a month. How much for one? For how many hours work?

And he likes it. I'd say that's pretty sweet.

Yeah, it's a very high tech firewire.

It's not really useless, it makes you really strong, it's cool to do and you can earn a lot doing it

Errm each group gig I do is 1hour 30mins, and from that we get $300 each, and they pay for fuel & travel. That's estimate though, it varies.

How many people are in your group? Ever since you told me about this I've been quite interested and wanted to do it but I don't think the cops would be that cool with me flinging about fire in the middle of the city. How much does your equipment cost all together?

Ummmm... I don't think you quite understand the concept of learning very well.

I guarantee you, 100 percent, that first you need to learn how to use a nunchuck/Bo staff/other. Then, you learn how to twirl it around without whacking yourself in the face. Then, after you're good at not whacking yourself in the face, you move on to the exact same thing you're good at with some fire on the ends.

But man, $300 is a TON! For an hour and a half of work, too. I wish I made that sort of money. Right now, I don't make any sort.

Yeah I know but I wouldn't want to learn how to use a Bo staff if in the end I wouldn't be able to light in on fire. I have no interest in learning how to use any type of weapon however fire on the end is what's appealing so I would actually go for it.

That's perfectly fine dudex77, I only learnt to spin for the fire. Errm we have 7 people in the group at the moment. You get about the same pay with a solo act as well though.

The cops should be fine with it as long as you're saftey consious, and act like you know what you're doing.

Haha Kurt, that was priceless...

Firespinning is fasincating. I seen people do it before and i've always liked it and such. I'm a bit of a "Safety First" kind of person to want to try it myself.

Therein lies the problem. I would be swinging about crap all over the place and someone would undoubtedly get hurt (probably myself)

Lol, well hopefully you'll practise before lighting them...

Bah, where's the fun in that!!! You know the saying:

No third degree burns on top of bruises, no game.

Haha, with nunchucks it'd be more like no 3rd degree burns ontop of bruises on top of broken bones, no game...
