For many the word "rope" doesn't conjure feelings of excitement, beauty or passion but that was quickly changed for attendees of FIRE 2017. Florida Intensive Rope Experience or FIRE for short, brought together over 400 rope enthusiasts & instructors from all over the world. In attendance were subject matter experts on roping including Furious Buddha, Lunatic Bound and Knothead. This gathering of legendary riggers made Orlando the temporary center of the roping world and we were able to conduct 6 interview from the convention floor.
