Ok, so I'm completely in love with the new RICA hoops. I already have one psi hoop (24 LED, 12 elfin + 12 dragonfly), and maybe this is just me being a greedy hooper, but I REALLY want one...how much are they?? I paid about $380 for mine because of the number of lights and the alternating circuit. I'm guessing it's in the ballpark of $300? Sooooo beautiful.....

      Would a smaller one with less lights be cheaper? I want one too. I also want the lighter pipe. I got to try someones out at Hoop Con and the lighter pipe was dreamy with the RICA!

        it's $5 per LED after the basic 16 LEDS, so if it needs less LEDS, yes, it will be cheaper. If you email Patrick and tell him what weight you want, he'll choose the correct tubing for you. Mine, the HDPE, is lighter than my regular day hoops, and weighs about 1 pound 5 ounces. I also had him sand the inside for friction, instead of taping it up, and that lack of tape helps keep it light.

    For anyone else interested in a rainbow hoop who just can't quite afford the PSI, I found a less expensive option...

    I have one of this guy's (non rainbow) LED hoops, they are AMAZING quality and the batteries last FOREVER. I've got one of the rainbow hoops in the mail to me right now, can't wait! =)

      Be careful with this one. I don't mean to put the guy down, but I had some problems with mine from him. It was a beautiful hoop, but it shorted out and I had to send it back to be fixed 3 times in less than a year. I finally just gave up and learned how to make my own.

      This was almost two years ago, so he may have changed his system and have higher quality hoops now. The good thing is that he did fix it for free every time I had a problem.

        I'm sorry. My post didn't land where I thought it would. I was talking about the etsy hoop that was linked above. I did not mean to put down anyone's hoop on here.

          Really? Thats odd. I've never had any issues with his hoops, and I have several friends who have bought hoops from him and never had issues. In my experience, Mike has always been great with communication and very professional. I consider my hoops to be very well made and high quality.

            I second that! I purchased an LED hoop from him last year and it still works great! He shipped it out almost immediately and if it ever does break or malfunction he offers to fix for you for free! And I am in love with Emily's rainbow hoop!!! sooooo pretty!

              Maybe I just got a wonky one then. I'm glad yours are working great. I loved that hoop when it did work. After I started making my own, I rewired the whole thing and passed it on to someone else and she loves it, too.
