[FreeVideoArchives]

The commentary is FINE, it's the BURNING MAN INFORMATION RADIO NETWORK, how can you go WRONG with that... thanks for posting this, mine's still stuck on my camcorders...

One of my best burn. I performed in a fire conclave and It was impresive when the explosion happened. Front row view...was awesome!

thanks for your attempt, but super challenging to watch this video. The camera work is awful and listening to the commentary and that phone ringing are mind numbing.

sorry.. but really lame to hear the commentary AND THE PHONE RINGING......????? are you kidding? it's like watching or listening to sunday football.... which makes my skin crawl....

totally lame. if that lasts, it will be the beginning of the end of the original concept...

give it up. you're killing it.

i was right at the perimeter line, sat through the sand storm to make sure i was BAM in front... that fireblast at the beginning of this clip was HOT, i thought i was going to frickin' die!!! hahaha!!! felt like my skin was on fire =D realizing i was still alive, i was in awe and loved it!!!!! my first ever 'burn' and hope i can go back for my 2nd burn next year! <3

When I saw that I felt a crazed level of excitement I haven't experience before in my life.

Holy crap.

yeah - what the hell is wrong with BRC Radio? Their commentary of the Burn sucked (why even have one?). You could argue that I should just turn on the radio, but people where broadcasting it over their PA systems. Its so un-burningman to provide official comment. Note - there are no speeches or anything assigning meaning to the Burn and that makes it personal for each participant. Thanks for the video though.

Amazing moment! Thank you all! <3

I was all the way down there when that thing exploded- like right up against the tape- I dont think I will ever be the same person I was. Holy effing shit. My knees were literally shaking. As my friend said- this was the thought process "Oh Im dead!" "Oh....Im not dead!!!". I personally saw a headline at that moment "Burners finally go too far- all die in explosion" hahahahahha. One of the best nights of my life hands down.

[albatros777]

Awesome story. I was a few hundred yards away and I felt the heat from that! I'm surprised I didn't wet myself!

Somewhat sounds like a high school football game....and get rid of the phone ringing.

[gijoezorad]

yea, the ringing was annoying but i couldn't help it, it was the audio from the walkies between the black rock rangers over the audio stream.

[reconeix]

your commentary BLOWS! next time don't treat the fire like it's an ESPN play by play!  blech!!!

[gijoezorad]

it wasn't my commentary, it was the burning man information radio, and it was pretty lame, but i suppose they were describing it for people who might not be able to see it? i dunno

[reconeix]

apologies to you gi joe zorad. BMIR obviously blows as far the burn commentary was concerned.  silence would've been better

Thanks for posting, guys! We had a small Man burn last night at the same time. No fireworks, but plenty of white gas!

somewhat anti-climactic, actually....
