PyrOlympics 2011

The Pyrolympics President opens the Games by descending a flaming Broadway staircase in an elegant jazz dance step.


The Pyrolympics piper plays an uptempo jig, while his homemade penny whistle burns, much to the approving applause of the assembled competitiors.


The judge checks to see if the fire is hot enough for the events.


Revenge of the Lawn contestant.


Contestant 6 in the log dancing round.


Contestant 12 in the freestyle round.


Contestant shows how to do log surfing the correct way.
1. Start by facing away from prevailing wind.
2. Half turn jump with a jazz finish.
3. Skanking into log-surfing stance and hold.
4. Repeat.
When you feel soles of shoes beginning to melt, then a neat dismount from the fire.
