I am also keen for hoops! I'm after a fire one (6 spokes) and 2 practise I think... But will settle for just a fire hoop. I am keen to put in money for anyone who is buying stuff for these.
Also if you do need a place for making, my house in brooklyn is available. We have a deck and stuff and also an inside bit if the weather isn't too good.
