Fire Spinning Unveils Latest Trick
Looping for Speed
Professional fire spinner, Tim Shaw, showcased a new addition to his repertoire on Saturday, unveiling a trick that included a loop, two Immelmanns, and two sonic booms. The move, which he has dubbed the "Fire Loop," is the first of its kind and has the potential to revolutionize the sport.
Technical Breakdown
The Fire Loop begins with a standard fire poi spin, where the performer swings the poi in a circular motion. Shaw then transitions into a loop, where the poi is spun in a vertical plane. After completing the loop, he performs two Immelmanns, where the poi is spun in a half-circle motion. The trick concludes with two sonic booms, where the poi is spun at a high speed, creating a loud cracking sound.
Shaw spent months developing the Fire Loop, working tirelessly to perfect the timing and coordination required to execute the move safely and effectively. The trick requires a high level of skill and control, and only a handful of fire spinners worldwide are currently capable of performing it.
The unveiling of the Fire Loop has generated a lot of excitement within the fire spinning community. Many believe that the move has the potential to become a staple of the sport and inspire a new generation of fire spinners.
