FSU Fire Baton Twirler

This person is amazing. I could never twirl like that even with regular batons yet, but I am happy that I will get to start twirling fire soon and I hope to be as good as this person. I just found this video on youtube and thought the person was awesome so I decided to share it. I also, have never seen someone that could twirl like that with fire. =)

Three Elbow Roll

To do a three elbow roll you need to know how to do a double elbow roll first. Before you start, you need to know the feet work. For the feet work you act like you are standing on a clock with your feet together at the 6. Then, you move your right foot to the 9 and then you move your left foot to the 12. After that, you move your right foot to the 3 then quickly bring your left foot back to your right foot.

Now it is time to learn the baton work. You do the move like you are doing a double elbow roll at first. You move your right foot to the 9 when the baton goes over the first elbow. Then, you move you left foot to the 12 after it goes over the second elbow and you very quickly put both of you arms as far back as you can but make sure your arms are still flat. While doing that you move to the 3 and the baton should go over your first elbow again which is when you catch it.

This move has to be done QUICKLY but only go as fast as your baton and don't make your baton go faster than you.
