Flaming unicycle stunts

Post by Super Mulletman »

Now that I have your attention, I'd like to ask for help...

...with flaming unicycle stunts.

I know people are going to think I'm crazy (don't worry, my parents are getting me checked out in March and they've been trying to get me a counselor), but aside from that, I was trying to look for ideas. Me and a friend of mine wanted to do something fun the other night, and while I wanted some way to combine fire with unicycle stunts, we were a bit low on materials and original ideas. Now I was thinking of getting a flaming track going to unicycle through around the schoolyard near our houses (don't worry, there's a very large open space of asphalt), but I needed to know of:

A) A somewhat long-burning, yet easily extinguishable liquid to compose the track out of, and
B) Any good track ideas? I was thinking about getting a flaming arc to ride against the inside, maybe a pair of wavy parallel lines to ride between, a mostly closed circle with flames on the outside and maybe a flaming barrel in the middle to run through, and I probably want to end it with a pair of fire walls closing in so I have to cross my arms over my chest to get through. But any others suggestions would be very helpful.

Before I do any of this I'm gonna want to try it with tape on the ground to form the track. I also realize that an entire flaming track will be quite hard to extinguish, so I may want to split up the track in to small sections, and keep in mind that if I do this, I will definitely try to film it. Thanks for the help.

FUN! denatured alchohol burns well, don't know how toxic/drunk it is though. BTW, be prepared to survive if you would happen to fall into the burning stuff, burns hurt

Ah, commiting suicide, sounds like fun.

My $0.02 (which is the opinon you don't care about :wink: ):

When you do this, I suggest some leather clothing or something else that is (mostly) flame retardent, this will relieve some of the dangerous aspects of it, but will not daunt the fun :wink: . I also suggest that whether the path be zig-zagged or wavy, that it is wide, this gives you enough room to fall over or make mistakes without the third-degree burns, but still looks kewl when filmed... Another thing I would do is get a bunch of friends to hold buckets of sandy water all along the track, so in case of emergencies, it can go out quicker.

Also, the most important thing:

WEAR A FLIPPIN' GAS MASK!!!ONE11!!!1 Whether it has goggles or not; wear a gasmask! I cannot stress how important this is! Without this, you could very well die. Also, try to find one that does not invade your line of vision. Anywhere. Peripheral or otherwise, a blindspot could spell disaster...

Hope your folks don't get to pissed at me for helping out :wink: .

I have never attempted, and will never attempt any type of stunt that invovles a unicycle. I have, however, attempted some other pretty stupid stunts with my cousin, sister, and friends. One day I dared my cousin (he was 19 at the time :shock: ) to where duct-tape underwear for a day... AND HE DID! I've also jumped off a few roofs (rooves?), etc, etc :wink: .

I like the really like the idea of the wavy-lined fire walls, cause I know it will look damn cool on camera, and I'm pretty sure I have non-flammable clothes somewhere. I don't have a gas mask however, but I know some people who could always help me out. I might want to pick up some shorter cranks, too, but hopefully they won't cost me an arm and a leg.

Also, what are the odds that I could go about doing this for the public, like talking to city counsel or something and getting a charity going?

To make your fuel (Petrol/flammable stuff ect.) last a lot longer put it in a jar and mix in lots of egg whites and a pinch of salt. Mix well until it is to a gel like constinency and thats it. The egg whites and salt somehow make flames stick to whatever it's touching. It is greatly used when building your own flamethrower as once the flame hits you it sticks. But that could be a problem for you if you touch it.
Meh... So I don't post much?

None. You guys disgust me, I can't believe you're actually giving him tips. He's ovbiously not the only one who needs a counselor. Don't fricking attempt this kind of &#%*. Geez...

Well, since I can't talk him out of it, I might as well make it so it isn't completely suicidal... And I already see a counselor, thank you very much...

Well, I've learned to realize when someone is dead-set on something... And Super Mulletman sure seems that way... Besides, his parents will probably do everything they can to stop him...
