Fire Unicycling

I would see if you can get your hands on some flame
retardant long pants.

I've juggled flaming torches on a uni before. That seems to
be impressive to a crowd.

Hey ya

I've been invited to perform as a fire unicyclist at the
Crusty Demons show on Saturday (see 'The Crusty Website'
(crustyassault.comnztour.htmOpen ↗). Having never
done any fire unicycling (apart from flaming puck uni
hockey, thanks Darren!) I accepted, perhaps foolishly.

Anyway my plan is to weave some kevlar wick through my
spokes and set it on fire and ride round thru the other
fire performers till it goes out. Does anyone have any
experience in this trick? The only photo I've seen of
this is Jeremy Schafer of California who is wheel walking
with his feet well above the flames in the pic. I wonder
if it really is dangerous, or he's just wheelwalking for
extra skill.

What about pouring fuel on the tyre and setting in on
fire? I recall seeing a photo online of this a long time
ago... I think it resulted in a destroyed tyre. If I do
this it will be a fairly final kind of finale.

I'll be doing a few trial runs before the show, starting
with small amounts of fuel and working up. Hopefully
minimising the danger.
