Bro this is awesome. I started staff spinning about a year ago and I've never really felt smooth when I spin. Some of the tricks you did is this video look like i have the ability to do them and would be super fun to incorporate it into my own routine. Plus the music you have going fits really well. Basically you did awesome in all regards and have inspired me
I started fire spinning 7 month ago. I always came back to this video because I liked your style a lot. Basic moves but so clean and smooth and satisfying to watch. My whole staff spinning style is based on your video. Thanks for inspiring me! :)
Wow that's so awesome! My technique comes in large part from one of my friends styles, as well as people I watched online, and my own personality mixed together. Glad I could keep the process flowing and pass it on!
Very smooth, i need to do a bit more of this stype of slow mixed in with my contact work . But maybe if only people would stop asking me if i also spin fire .
I spin with the same kind of staff, I was wondering how you got the fire ball to form throwing it up? Do you just soak the wicks super heavy? Mahaloz from Hawai'i 🤙
This is amazing man. You’ve some incredible talent. Thank you for sharing. I’ve been working on my fireballs. I can’t seem to get them nearly as magnificent ha. How long are you soaking your wicks for that? I have a feeling my plumes are fairly small either due to not having enough spin or potentially not tossing high enough, but curious if there’s any technique you’ve found successful other than strictly spin speed. Thanks man!
Hey, thanks man! Appreciate the kind words. Doesn't really matter how long you dip but they're very wet when I burn off. Just be careful, the wetter they are the better they burn off but the more likely you are to get sprayed, it's also hotter obviously! My wicks are also fairly large which probably makes a difference. And yes spin speed is the biggest factor, but height doesn't really matter too much, just gets it away from you a bit. I'd say just play with how you're rolling it in your hands to get some more speed on it
Wow this is awesome!! I just started learning contact staff but I haven’t seen anything about spinning like this? Is this just martial spinning or what is it called?
Thank you! This is my own unique style, but I take inspiration from many sources. Polynesian fire knife spinners, baton twirlers, bo staff, etc. Check out Michelle Smith on Instagram. Have fun!
Can I ask how you created that fireball in the beginning? I’ve been trying to figure it out and I’ve only managed to do it once, is there a specific trick? Usually I just fling unlit fuel everywhere
It's created from spin. You spin the staff as fast as possible which creates a stream of fine fuel particles that light instantly, thereby creating a fire ball. Just practice rolling the staff between your palms to spin it better. Also make sure the wicks are wet enough and that you're using the right fuel. And be careful of your surroundings, the fireball can travel quite high, and the fuel can spray quite far. Good luck!
Hi! How do you set the staff on fire with your hands? Are you using any substance or something? I would like to do this too, but I am beginner and can't find informations about that
Good question. I don't necessarily recommend trying it. But if you want to, I would recommend looking up something called fire fleshing. It's a little hard to find, but it's the concept of drawing fire on your skin safely. It's very safe when done correctly and I use the same principles here. No tricks, the fuel is called white gas or Coleman's camp fuel. It's one of the only safe fuels to use, that and purified lamp oil. The vapor burns, not the liquid so I can hold it for a couple seconds before it burns me, but only while the fuel is cold. You also have to be very careful to keep your skin below the fire at all times, and the amount of liquid fuel you get on your skin has to be just right or you will get burned. If your going to try it, start small, be careful and do your research. Have fun.
Seems like a solid foundation but I'd like to see some more variety. Maybe occasionally spin it around your neck or waist. Also, look up some actual staff katas and throw some of them in there. Fight an imaginary enemy with your flames. Just some constructive feedback cause even changing nothing its still cool.
Appreciate the constructive criticism mate! To be fair, this was over a year ago when I had just gotten into staff, I have added a lot more pacing changes, footwork and more variety of movements to my spinning as well as a couple contact moves since then. Good ideas though, I should definitely add some martial arts movements and some more neck stuff or horizontal play. I do like 7 or 8 different props at this point though, so it's I don't really need to get fancy. Appreciate the comment though, I defintely want to work on that stuff at some point when I have time.
@@joshuadwaters1299 Right on man. I've done freestyle staff and chucks for years and only became interested in fire spinning about two months ago. Watching people like you is what put the spark in me. You have my respect.
@@therestlessnomad8792 That's awesome man. I do some freestyle and martial arts style chucks as well. Used to be super into it, but never gotten into them with fire. It's one of the more awkward props to light. One day I want to though. Glad to hear I could offer some inspiration! Appreciate it man 👊. Very nice to meet you.

@@joshuadwaters1299 thanks man! I’ll keep working on it :)
And by the way, what is the secret to get such a crazy spin off flame? Do you need a special fuel or something, it never works out for me? Cheers
Great opener
Thanks!

Where did you get your stuff and how can I learn?
Do you have a tutorial for the jump in 00:12 :) ?
It also occurs in 00:18
Or 02:04!!! Man, that was SICK!
Can anyone explain how he does the big plume of fire thing in the beginning
Nice spins
Thanks!
Hey! I Love this! How big is the staff compared to you?
Not sure ratio wise, but I am 5' 10" and the staff is 4'.
Also, thank you!

@@joshuadwaters1299 thank you so much! I'll be careful! :)
hey how long is it ?
I wish I also can do that
Where did you get the staff?
How do you light the other wick of the staff like you did ? :D
By lighting your hand on fire for a couple seconds :). I wouldn't recommend trying it unless you really know what you're doing
What fuel are you using for this?
Try chain's they are epic
