Julie's Journal
Good girls have diaries... Bad girls have blogs!While we were camping with our group last weekend, I finally got to try fire spinning or dancing as it’s sometimes called.
I’ve watched my friend Ron do it over the last couple years and I finally got the guts up to try it. I used his fire staff, which isn’t much different than the tall flags I use to spin in high school other than the ends are ON FIRE.
It was such a rush, and I can’t wait to practice more and get the dance part incorporated into a routine.

Well Julie, it didn’t look like your first time….I’m sure I’ll think about this next time we go camping! However, it won’t happen, I’d probably burn the tent down or scare one of the dogs!
Fire starter!! hahahaa Dude, that’s awesome.

Thanks Kim, it was a BLAST!
Diane – I think they looked closer than they actually were. At least, I hope so!
Maureen – HAHA! Our tent was up the hill, so I wasn’t worried about that 
LOL Michelle, and thanks! Daryl made that video for me
Thanks Lady Grace! It was awesome!
It looks pretty nice Jules. I wanted to try it too but the winds picked up and there wasn’t an opportunity.
BTW you had plenty of space around you during the spinning. Zooming in on you made the background action look much closer than it was.
Ohh .. that’s just so cool! I’d probably hit myself in the head if I tried though
Owen´s last blog post..Graduation was great
Wow, that’s pretty dramatic!
Darryl – they’ll be more opportunities for you to spin fire. I’ll make sure to let you know when the next camp is going to happen!
BTW – you took a lot of footage, do you have more videos somewhere?
Owen – did you notice me duck once? LOL! I came REALLY close to my head.
vein – it was a total rush!

Great stuff! I’d love to try that but everyone would have to get as far away as possible first

Not bad at all for a newbie… it’s scary to think about what you could do with some practice…LOL

Nice job woman! You look like you’ve done it a bunch of times. I have no doubt I’d set my own hair and clothes on fire if I tried that.

Hey dude, great first fire video!
Thought I’d invite you to share your fire photos, videos etc on the Firetricks Community. It’s a great place to pick up some tips and tricks too! Check out http://www.firetricks.net. Hope to see you there
Great job! I got into fire dancing because of this mantra ‘do what scares you’. Although I can’t say that I’m now an expert – it is indeed such a high to try it!
