Hello all! Just a quick question about hoop downsizing. Currently I am on a 42 inch 3/4 100 psi. I have been hooping for a month now and would like to get a mood hoop for a festival I am going to at the end of the month. My dillema is that the smallest size down from a 42 is a 38, but I am worried that may be too small. I am wanting to go smaller, I think its time. When I do tricks they seem slow and become sloppy because the hoop is too big for me. I really want the mood hoop for the festival, but am worried that going down 4 inches will be too big of a jump. Can anyone give me any advice on this? Thanks!
