As you may have noted, I have not been posting a lot on here lately. The things I have been doing have been hitting the "other guys rule" and I just have not been able to find a way to share them here without getting into trouble. That said, we had our second fire night of the year so I thought I would post to let people know I am still around. This time, I got to try out my fire crossguard broadsword for the first time when lit. Got this thing a couple weeks ago and this was the first time I was comfortable enough to light it. It has a 30" main wick, 2 5" side wicks, and a 15" counterweighted handle. Weighs in ant a bit over 6 lbs. As you can see in the video, it puts out an irresponsible amount of fire. Altogether a beast to wield but worth the trouble. I spent the first part of the video moving slowly until it stopped throwing fire, then I was able to pick up the pace. Still a bit wary of it as yet, but not bad for a first light if I do say so myself.

Since it was a night of firsts. I figured I would break out my double staffs. I have done this in LED but not with fire before. This was the result. Not as polished as I would like it and I chickened out on a few big moves, but still...

Beyond that, here are a few stills. Some of my favorite shots from my performances during the second fire night of the year. A bit of fire sword, some fire crossguard, some double staff, some dual crossguard LED, and some fire whip.
