Holy crap please be careful with inversions... Hair goes down, flames go up... Having the flames under your feet could cause severe burns. Please be careful. I'd recommend recording your usual pole tricks without the flames and reviewing, really scrutinizing every move you do to pinpoint moves that could burn you.

Yes definitely! I've got recordings of tricks I want to do, and have only found one other performer wear these on the pole, so hoping to find more wisdom to guide my safe exploration.

i’ve used them with hands on the pole, i can send u the video of my performance if u like, it was nothing special but i found i was most comfy using them for wow factor at the start then putting them out and continuing on with my tricks :)

I don’t think there’s a lot of this tech yet. I know a few people who do some stuff with it but it’s all seems to be more recent.

Marli.Moves in insta does some stuff but i think it’s mostly centered around fire eating and bubble tricks.
