How do you set your uni on fire...safely?

could you possibly put a wick of some kind on the uni? Depends on where
you want the flame...

I don't think there's a safe way to do it but it still might be worth
playing with. Try to do it with as much safety factors worked in as
possible I guess.

Also, if you want it to burn for any length of time I wouldn't use a
quality unicycle... the heat won't do any good for any part of your
uni.

I've always wanted to cover my uni with a bunch of those long skinny
glowsticks and ride around wearing all black at night... it's not fire
but it would give a pretty good light show.

I do NOT recommend this. This guy used some sort of special wicking rope
but he used too much wick and too much fuel. Nobody got hurt but the
unicycle took a beating.

Phil's tire is just fine.
I think he's still using the same one and it's still working great.

Yep, hes using the same one.

Common guys, with any liquid, how much do you think is going to sit and
stay on a moving smoothed objects?
Its like pouring cereal onto a balloon followed by milk and hoping the
filled up balloon will hold it all. Its going
to drip off, and leave a very thin amount of liquid on the surface.

When caught on fire, your tire will burn for a good 5-10 seconds, not
enough to melt the rubber or cause damage.
Do it about 10 times in a row and youll get a very hot rim, a hot tire
that isnt melting in any spot but it will be stiff,
and some missing leg hairs

Just keep pedaling, your slight movement forward will keep the flames
behind you. If you are stupid and just sit there
without moving, youre gonna get burned, so try not to idle. =p

Take lots of pictures cause its a sweet thing to do.

Don't use too much fuel... Just enough that it'll burn off quickly.

Setting fire to a unicycle is just such a dumb idea.

The standard trick to make a relatively cool fire is to burn
ethanol-water mixtures. The water does not burn (duh!) but it
evaporates and keeps things a bit cooler. The flame is very light blue
and would not be that impressive--you would not even see it in the
daytime.

As long as we are discussion dumb ideas, one could buy "waterproof
fuse" sold for fireworks and weave it among the spokes. Light the end
and it will burn and throw off sparks and smoke as you ride. It will
probably also set fire to the hair on your legs, so it might be a good
idea to shave before trying this trick.

Skin grafts are supposed to be very painful.
