Yeah, it's pretty easy, don't.

But if you must, I imagine that you could put an outer ring,
which would be attached to the inner one, that you'd light,
so you wouldn't burn yourself.

Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown out?

Ive seen someone do this befor and what they did was have an
inner ring that was not=rmal and then bars attatching to a
larger outer ring that was covered in cloth with
carosine(sp?) on it. It would look like this. The one i saw
was all metal and it was just a big guy so you might want to
make it more lightweigh so it doesnt break your ribs.Its a
crappy as h*ll picture but its the basic idea.

thanks for the idea catboy.i hadnt thought of puting an
outer hoop on. what ive tried so far is puting a few spokes
(for lack of a better word) sticking 3 inches out of the
hoop with wicks at the end of those. 3 inches was not enough
space because 30 seconds after i light it up it flew apart
into 3 peices. i want to keep the inner ring plastic or
something else that wont burn me as i intend to perform this
without a shirt on.

to rayden who said this would be boring: would it still be
boring if i were idling on a slack rope while juggling three
torches and hoopin?

I think it would be better if you didnt have a shirt on or
if you had to wear something a really tight fitting shirt
that wont catch fire. The one hoop i saw was about 10lbs.
and was made out of cast iron or something, but the guy was
huge and extremely buff and oily(mmmm sweet sweet bodily
oil). so i would go buy the thickest good hula hoop you can
and use some sturdy spokes. You wouldnt have to have an
outer ring you could just have flames on about 6-10 spokes
sticking out about 5 inches each, with some cloth on the end
of them for fire. That would be somewhat easier but it would
take longer to light. Whichever way you go make some photos
so we can see a step-by-step process so if i ever make one
(probably will just for fun) i will have a easier time.
Happy trails(or trials wherer youre munieer or a trialist)
