Fire Hoops

Fire Hoops seem to be a very talked about subject these days and more and more people are looking to buy one. I see a lot of talk about which fire hoops are the best, which are the lightest, heaviest, most portable, etc. So what should you look for when you are buying a fire hoop?

• Weight 
• a heavier fire hula hoop is going to travel a bit slower and give you more of a workout, it will also give your internal organs a nice massage.
• a lighter fire hoop is going to be faster, easier to do tosses with, not tire you out as fast, but might also be harder to hoop with.
• Size
• The size you pick for your fire hoop should be close to what you hoop with already. The spines do make the hoop feel like it is much bigger than it actually is. I recommend that you get a fire hoop that is slightly smaller than the hula hoop you normally hoop with. The added weight of the spines will compensate for for the size difference.
• Tape or Sanded?
• This is a new feature in the hooping world. The people that like sanded hoops are those that like a super duper uber light hoop. You can get a sanded hoop here http://www.thespinsterz.com/hoops/build_a_hoop.htm 
• a taped fire hoop still seems to be the way most people are going as it just looks so much nicer than a bare black hoop.
• Collapsible or not?
• Getting a collapsible Fire Hoop seems to be what most people buy these days, although if you are not planning on traveling much , then you shouldn't really need for it to be collapsible. You are not going to really notice any difference between a collapsible hoop and a non collapsible hoop. Both react the same and have the same qualities. Some people may say that a collapsible fire hoop is wobbly, but that all depends on the manufacturer of the hoop. 
• Flexible Spines or Rigid?
• The idea behind flexible spines is that when the spine hits the ground it will bend to absorb the impact, a rigid spine will not and bend or break. Flexible is becoming the industry standard for most beginning fire hoopers. If you are more advanced and never drop your hoop or let your spines hit the ground. Then a rigid spine should be just fine for you.
  

Hopefully this will help a little bit in your search for the perfect fire hoop. Remember that all fire hoops are going to have different features, benefits and draw backs, so take your time and find the right one for you.

New Fall Fire Hoop Designs

I just got done taping, photoing and putting up new designs of my collapsible fire hoops. I have not updated my fire hoop collection since last spring and felt that it was time to give everyone some new options to choose from.

I am doing the designs a little different this time, giving you the choice of making your hoop look the exact way you would like it. It has always kind of bugged me in the past that I would make 4 or 5 designs of a fire hoop and then sell all these same designs over the course of a few months. Doing this essentially gives many duplicate hoops and I think its great to be able to stand out from the crowd and show off the truly unique YOU, that know one else can copy no matter how hard they try. So why not extend this into your hoop choice as well?

You start with one of 6 different glitter, prismatic or holographic tapes and then you can pick what ever other colors you would like. You can even tell me what type of design you want, helix, double, anti-spin spiral, etc. This give you the freedom to make your collapsible fire hoop look different from your neighbors and not have to spend the extra cash fully customizing your hoop as shown here http://www.thespinsterz.com/fire-toys/build_a_hoop.htm

So go and check out my new fire hoop designs and get yourself into a new hoop that looks different from all the others.

Fire + LED = Fire and LED Hula Hoop...WOW!

I have just updated The Spinsterz with a fantastic new and improved product; Fire and LED Hula Hoop. Yup, that's right. This hula hoop combines both the fantastic glow of an LED hoop and the passion of a fire hoop into one.

I think this is such a great idea for when you are indoors and can't use fire or when you really just wish you could light your LED hoop in fire. It also takes out the concern when shopping for a hoop. Many people come to me and ask what hoop should they get, should it be the fire hoop or led hoop? Now the choice is simple and it will save you money as well. Starting at only $275 this is the best bang for you buck.

You have the options to choose what color LED's you want, or you can also pick all of them and have them change from color to color in a slow morph or change more quickly. You can also pick how many fire spines you want to have in your hoop, 5, 6 or do you can be a total pyro and go for 8! I love the fact that you can remove the spines so you can use your fire and led hoop as a normal LED hoop and not have to worry about damaging your wicks as you are trying new tricks.

In short if you are thinking of buying either an LED Hoop or Fire Hoop, you might as well just "smoosh" them together, pay less and stand out from the crowd.
