FIRE HOOPING
I fire hooped for the first time tonight. There was a hoop jam at the beach near where I live and a fire artist had poi and a hoop and I was able to try the hoop. It had 5 spines but I only did one lit tonight, as recommended by the owner of the hoop. In real life, it wouldn't have hurt to have tried the hoop without any lit just to get the idea of where the spines fall and all.
It was a little freaky, and very awesome. I didn't do any back lifts, just front lifts because I was nervous about where I put my hand when I couldn't see. But I watched the pro do it after I did and saw that it's not that big of a deal. It was trippy to neck hoop with the flame so close to my face. And I fumbled a little bit around my body when an unlit spine nudged my hip a little, but that's something that practice would help to avoid. I didn't do any walk throughs or vertical off the body stuff, but I did spine the fire out when I could tell it was fading, and that was really fun :). It was really really fun.
And someone else had an LED hoop and that was REALLY fun to play with. I am working on having my own, just haven't gotten there, yet. But that is something I really do want.
