    From a man that has thrown his fire to avoid a deadly night sleeping& asphyxiating in an abandoned grain silo blanketed in years of bird feces and carcasses and the same man who lost a Ro-Sham-Bo title to a fire thrown by a fierce competitor (see Brian Rupert’s legacy)…… this is probably the best win I’ve ever seen!!!!! Rock on!

    Chad, as one of your best men in your wedding, business-and-life-partner, and ardent rosham practitioner, I must thank you for paving the way with that legendary grain silo rosham, and coming up with the “unreasonable health hazard” metric, which enabled me to throw my fire for something positive, rather than avoiding something negative.

    Ahh, this may actually be the first historical account of some of the bumps on the wild ride of Colorado Ro Sham’s infancy. Something to show the grandchildren when they are finally old enough to make a name for themselves.

    Not only did you throw fire like a human torch, but you represented NJ as well… One could learn much from a rosham master such as yourself. Kudos

    I didn’t witness it but hear it the next morning during breakfast…and I concur! The best win ever! Cheers Chiang, Charlie

    I never got my trophy for my fire throw. My reward, the legacy that lives on through blog posts like this. and i think there is video footage, buy i have yet to see it. i do still have the pictures though.
