Flexible Spine Wicks: Our hoops spines are specifically designed to flex when they hit the ground to prevent breakage. A special blend of polyurethane rubber is molded into a stem which is securely attached to stainless steel rods and Kevlar wicks, acting as a base. While flexible, these polyurethane stems are rigid enough to prevent the wicks from wobbling and will hold the weight of the hoop standing. The polyurethane also acts as a lock when tightened against the hoop to reduce the likelihood of wicks coming loose during use.  The polyurethane absorbs wick wobble instead of amplifying it like a spring spines are prone to do. Simply unscrew the spine wicks to detach for easy transport, transforming your fire hoop into a practice hoop!  If you are making your own hoops, or replacing spines from another hoop, our spines have 5/16" - 18 threads and the threads stick out about 3/4".  We supply these spines to a few manufacturers of fire hoops, so if you are looking to replace some you have, and they look similar, they should be a match.

Spine Choices: Spines are available in 2 lengths: 6.5" (165mm) and 8.5" (216mm) long. Shorter spines are great for tricks and quick maneuvers which require getting the hoop close to the ground, however may become very hot if you don't keep the hoop moving. Longer spines get the fire further away from your hands and body to reduce the heat you feel. Keep in mind the longer the spines will have less ground clearance.

Wick Choices: Wick heads are available in 3 sizes: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Beginner wicks are 1.5" (38mm) wide and 1.5" (38mm) diameter, and use 2 ft. of Kevlar wick. Intermediate wicks are 1.5" (38mm) wide and 1.75" (50mm) in diameter and use 3 ft. of Kevlar wick. Advanced wicks are 1.5” (38mm) wide and 2” (50mm) in diameter and use 4 ft. of Kevlar wick.
