fire jumping?

Off-topic
1

my spanish teacher brought up today that jumping fires is a tradition in spain for good luck

my immediate thought was to jump one on a uni… buy i have neither a trials or muni

anyone else ever jumped a fire on their uni?

2

once i piled up a bunch of leaves and lit them, then i jumped over them.

I’ve never seen anyone jump fire, but in TheDan’s movie of flaming puck unicycle hockey they light someone’s wheel on fire and ride it. It’s pretty swick.

Check it out at http://www.thedan.com > Unicycling

James you bastard… swik is my word, not yours. It is the ultimate concoction of sweet and sick to make the worlds greatest word of swik… how dare you!!! (runs off crying)

POW

yeah i’ve seen that… ok, my computer isn’t working so i may not have seen that particular vid… but i have seen it happen

if i have a trials or muni, next christmas, the spanish teacher will be mad at me :stuck_out_tongue:

I jumped over a pile of burning matches once…does that count?

7

I road a razor scooter through a puddle of flaming gasoline… my uni was at home though…

8

No way, I made that word up! Only it was a combination betwixt sweet and slick, not sick.
This is the second time I’ve made something totally awesome up, only to find that it’s already been invented… ) :

9

hate when that happens

when i find people squabbaling over ownership of a word, i adopt it as my own…

so i need to add swick along next to ridonculous

I don’t know what they used for TheDan’s flaming puck unihockey movie, but in it they light a guys wheel on fire and ride it. Here 'tis:

yeah, i haven’t seen that vid, but i may have been in it, but my only way of knowing would be if i bothered to check if the one 20 inch i saw that looked like a shwinn (angled frame) was indeed mine

and i think i was there when they did that tirelighting

15

done ‘jumping fire’ long ago.

16

thats pretty cool :smiley: but his thighs would hurt after :thinking:

17

kinda… you just gotta get used to it… it still hurts a little after for me and i can’t say i can jump a nonflaming jumprope as well as that guy can jump a flaming one :stuck_out_tongue:
