I'm in Montreal :) Newbie hooper. Soon I'll be in the market for hooping materials, and if I have a hard time, a collapsible hoop online is my next choice :(

I don't know where you girls are from, but it St-Hyacinthe, where i live, there is no problem finding the tubing. I got it at Lafferté, a small hardware store right on the 116. They also have the conncetors and all. I use electrical tape, simply, to cover it^^

Howdy hoop friends! Just giving y'all the heads-up that both myself and Anah Reichenbach, aka Hoopalicious, will be teaching at the end of this month in Montreal! Thanks to Beka of iHoopU and The Hooping Life movie, we'll be around for a whole long weekend of jamming, workshopping, and chilling with all you Quebecois hoop stars!

My HoopPath Fundamentals shop will happen on Thursday, August 26th from 6 to 8pm, and my Master Class will be held on Friday the 27th from 6 to 8pm. I can't wait to meet & hoop with y'all!

Anah will teach a 6-hour intensive over Saturday and Sunday, August 28th and 29th, 12 to 3pm both days, covering Foundation, Flow, and Flair, and will also hold a Beginners-only shop from 3:30 to 5:30pm on Sunday the 29th.

To register for both of our shops, go through the iHoopU website: http://www.ihoopu.com/en/learn/workshops.html

And the Montreal World Film Festival will screen The Hooping Life Premier at 7pm on Saturday Aug. 28th!!! Anah and I will be there will bells on! Meet us at the Quartier Latin Cinema Complex at 350 rue Emery, Montreal. Or, better yet, meet us early for the BIGGEST HOOP JAM IN CANADIAN HISTORY!

4:30-6pm in Place des Festivals (Downtown Montreal)

Hoopers and non-hoopers will be coming from all over the world to attend the Biggest Hoop Jam in Canadian History Saturday August 28th 4:30pm in Place des Festivals!

****What is a Hoop Jam you ask*****
A hoop jam is a community event where people of all ages, sexes & races gather together and spin hoops around their bodies to fun upbeat dance music!

IHOOPU will be providing hoops for non-hoopers to try, but if you have your own hoop please bring it!
There will also be hoops for sale!

IHOOPU certified hoop instructors will be offering free hoop classes from 4:00-4:30pm in Place des Festivals if you would like some instruction prior to the jam.

so, what's up in Quebec? have you found the tubing you needed? if you don't, go in any hardware store (even Canadian Tire has it) and ask for 'pex 3/4 ' (au rayon de la plomberie) ;) it's probably not exactly what psi 160 is, but it works really well for making hoops, and you can find it anywhere. Make sure to not use the connectors they will give you with it though...those will make non-round hoops. the best i've found are the grey plastic ones, about 2 inches long (sorry i'll use French a bit, i don,t know the correct word in english for this) 'avec les filets sur les rebord (comme sur les vis)'. You will need to heat the edges of the tubing to put the connector in, so the inside shape of the tubing will take the shape of the connector and it will old still.
