This is Charles from the Memphis Unicycle Club just before the heat got to be too much and he bailed out. He also juggles fire balls and fire clubs.
The picture was taken about a year ago.
Charles is a professional. Kids, don't try this at home.

unisteez said: oh, a question..what qualifies him as a professional?
i juggle fire clubs and perform with fire poi. am i professional?:p haha, but seriously. i am curious.
er, uh, professional?? That's just what they always say on TV. 🙄 Actually, Charles is a welder/metal worker. He builds custom ornamental metalwork.
Still, don't try that at home.

not to get all the kids in the forums to start playing with fire, but some flammible liquids such as lighter fluid and naptha burn at a cooler temperature.
this means that you can have flames going and not burning you. for a pretty brief period.
for example, (do not try this!) you could light lighter fluid in your hand and extinguish it before it really even hurts, and certainly before any disfigurement...if you extinguish it fully!!!!!

I'm pretty sure 'this' (http://tinyurl.com/rg78k ) is an over exposed shot of Jacinto on another try.
This may be the time he had on the red sweat suit. I was afraid his clothes were going to catch too.
Be sure you've got your flame-proof jammies on if you try Flaming Unicycle.

i wore shorts when i did it, i was scared of pants catching on fire.
im thinking of trying it again with some flame retardant cream on my legs. also i think the way i will do it is to make some custom circle wicks that i can clamp on to my spokes. im thinking of making something like a poi that can clamp onto my spokes.
