Catching doubles on fire!
I have a set of twins from cosmic fire dance (<3), and I rock out on the doubles... until it's time to stop and I get a little awkward. The way I stop them now is to have one on the waist and bring the other down two-handed to catch with a spin. Sounds smooth but all the spokes get in the way, and I end up with fire-under-tubing = bad. I'm looking for how you, double fire hooper, end your show!
Hmm... I guess I'm also wondering how you, double fire hooper, transfer all those balls of fire from horizantal to vertical plane... cause once in vertical they're easier to control...

Two go from one on hand and waist to one on each hand vertically i a sort of one hand step out with a turn.
Turns are a great way to give yourself time to readjust your grip on the hoop.
As far as stopping i usually just bring them both together at the waist and then stop them like normal. If you are having trouble with that maybe you could let the waist one fall to the ground, step out of it and then bring down the arm one?

Thanks!
You bring the together at the waist by lowering the top one, one-handed normal-style? I find the hoops always get tangled when using them together at the waist
