Fire dancing?

A few years back I made my own Fire stick. Basicly it was a Broom handle cut a bit shorter and then aluminium tube banged on the end. Screw that on and then attach the Material on to the end, that way the flames were not burning the broom. Material well you could use denim if you like but it doesnt last as long but cheap! You can pick up the proper stuff at Cosmic Corner in Cuba st in welly so find something similar that sells all the herbals and pretty lights and bong accessories etc.

Fire Poi's well my brother made me a set nice and simple. was a small aloy pipe for the material to be wrapt around. a keey ring attaching it to a large fishing swivel attached to a stainless cable (like a side stay on a yacht (he works at a boat shop). then simply another swivel and a webbing loop!

Fuel well I was using kero, which worked really well but it is best to have them soak overnight before you start using them. something about the material lasting longer. then just a really short soak each time after that.

If you are fire breathing Kero does work but there are usually other chemicals to stop people drinking it in there. But you can buy it from shell some how and it doesnt have the nasties in it. Only comes in 20litre drums so that hard for idiots to get hold of.

Hope that helps!!!

Yeah I'm just going to make my own, Sam works in a leather factory, so I've asked her to get some leather for the handles, I'm sure I'll have no problem getting the chain bits from somewhere (warehouse, mitre10 or somewhere).

To start off with I won't play with the fire, not until I've got the moves all sorted... then I'll worry about the fabric and fuel to use...

As for fire breathing, a mate of mine (a firefighter lol) does fire breathing and next time she comes up to Auckland (from Thames... well actually Ngatia -sp) she's going to teach me how to do it

Quite a few people do it... In Victoria Park in the evenings I've seen a group of people, maybe 6 of them playing with fire, some with the sticks, some with poi's and some with juggles and some breathing fire...

*can't wait to do it*

No, no farting is a great couple's game!

None of my g/f's ever really approved of farting.

Especially the 'dutch oven'.

...you should be about right for 'The Gathering' at new years...

They started that up again? I went twice, never saw a fight there due in no small part to their "no alcohol" policy combined with most people being on drugs - this was before the days of P. Down the hill in Nelson was a totally different story, 300 drunks in a trailer park (there's the giveaway right there) started a riot and trashed the place.

Funnily enough, we managed to get alcohol in there, I had poured vodka into pump bottles and strapped them to the outside of the pack rack on the back of the bike. We lanesplit to the front of the queue of cars getting searched, they security guards took one look at the gear piled up on our bikes (and the pump bottles were in full view the whole time) and just waved us through. Gotta love bikes at times like that. Those in cars had to queue for hours, then completely empty everything out of their vehicles and allow security to go through the lot.

And you're right - there were a heap of fire dancers there. The first time I went (NYE 2000) was without doubt the best party I have ever been to, in spite of the rain. Wouldnt go to another now though, it was too commercial for my liking and you'd get a heap of hopped up P heads that would be worse than people drinking in my opinion.

Whats the Gathering? I've never heard of it before until now...

I think its held somewhere near Nelson over New Years. They have lots of 'alternative' bands/DJ's playing kinda like a festival type thing. People set up camp there for a few day's... Apparently alot of hippie types attend.
