Once I test em out I'll let ya know what I thought. Brandon- I think the 5 inch spines will be perfect!"

The only concern i have with them is that they only offer the 5' spines. Hmmm."

misty benzel replied to the discussion 'Fire hoop self downsize?'"Yes, unfortunately i will be buying another hoop this one is simply too big. I've tried to sell it, but i live in a small community that doesn't have many hoopers. Thanks for the input ladies, I may have tried to tear it apart. <3"
Takoda Rain replied to the discussion 'Fire hoop self downsize?'"what?? quick releases into minis??? thats so sick. if it has 6 wicks and they are evenly spaced the only thing i can think of is that you cut an entire wick out, but then it wont function as minis anymore. can you sell it and buy yourself a smaller…"

If you knew how to properly/safely downsize your hoop, you'd know how to build your own. Since that's not the case I'd say leave it alone.
If you get a new hoop,…"

Hello Hoopers!I have a 38 inch fire hoop that quick releases into minis, that i feel is too big of a diameter for my height (I'm roughly 5'2). My question is has anyone cut and downsized these kinds of hoops? It has 6 wicks and I'm worried that the spacing of the wicks will be greatly off if i cut it down, but I'm concerned with the cost of buying a new one. Any easy way to re-use the basically brand new wicks on a new hoop? I'm so lost, and help would be appreciated!-Misty <3See More
