fire jumping?

[Homerbot]

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?

[total uni]

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

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.... ) :

http://gallery.unicyclist.com/albup81 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
