Here is a nifty tunneling round Noel and Jonah from Ohio did on the last night of FLAME Festival. Jonah is rocking out some mini doubles and doing some wicked cool stuff with them. I so wanted to see more of this :)

Here is a video retrospective of Firedrums this year featuring some of my favorite artists: Marvin, Yuta, Annetta, Valery, Adam, Kate, Noel, Memory, Bliss, Tash, Brecken, Thomas, Fyn, and many many more. Hopefully the utter thrill and joy of this event comes across here. Sorry for its tardiness--I had tried to edit it as a tech blog but found it worked infinitely better this way.

It's been a while since I've broken out the doubles! This past weekend a friend and former student showed me an alternate way to perform a split-time opposites antispin flower with doubles that opened the door to figuring out how a couple friends from Virginia Beach are able to do a 6-petal variant of this same move. Basically: you switching from thumbs leading to pinkies leading. Here is a demo and detailed instructions.

My first doubles video! Be kind...:)

Not the greatest doubles routine in history--I get tripped up in this one a lot, but I at least wanted to show off some of the fun stuff I've learned since I picked up doubles back in February. I recorded this one right after my most recent poi flow video on Sunday afternoon at the Malcolm X park drum circle.

An impromptu fire jam at Hookah Dome a few hours after the temple burn brought out some of the best and the brightest on the playa. Here are Jordan from the Vulcan Crew, Bliss, and Prisna spinning some fire right before I left the jam. It does get a bit blurry near the end, I'm afraid. Enjoy!
