i just bought a helix collapse hoop from cosmicfiredance.com really inexpensive and you know its small enough to clip to your carry on bag. i would rather carry mine on a plane bc you have no idea what can happen if you checked it. stuff gets lost all the time and then you may not have a hoop. that would be upsetting. good luck with that. ill be flying in may and im trying to think of ways to take a fire hoop on a plan lol

I know someone who was prevented from taking a BodyHoops Infinity hoop onto a plane as carry-on luggage because "You might use it to restrain a member of the crew by putting it around their shoulders" !!!
The best Hoop I have found for easy travelling on a plane is the Hoopnotica Travel Hoop. They are really well made and very transportable because they will easily fit inside even a medium sized suitcase, so no worry about it being damaged whilst strapped onto the outside of the case.
You can buy them from http://www.hoopnotica.com in the USA, or from my website, http://www.hoopguy.com in the UK, or the rest of Europe. (Yes, I can ship this to anywhere in Europe for the same price as stated for UK shipping. This is because they are small enough to class as a "small packet" for interntaional shipping via the Royal Mail in the UK.
Of course, if you are happy to strap a hoop onto the outside of your case then the BodyHoops Infinity is a great travel hoop as well. Again available from my website in the UK, or from http://www.BodyHoops.com in the USA. I have been using one of these as my main hoop for over two years now, and it is still going strong (although I have retaped it once).
Happy Hooping and Travelling !!!

A friend and I traveled from SFO to Vegas and our hoops got valeted! They took our hoops at the gate and attached special tags to them...stored them for us.....and then at the end of the flight, they got hand delivered back to us! They were pretty much Rockstars! I would just suggest calling your airline ahead of time to check your options! Good luck!

i make the infinity collapsible hoops and i would think it would be fairly easy and wouldnt hurt it to collapse it and then just put it in the bottom of your bag/suitcase...maybe in between some clothes just to be safe....that way you arent spending a ridiculous amount of money right at the holidays on a new hoop just so you can travel AND anything can happen when you get on a plane....if you lose it on the trip it wouldnt be a huge loss....just sad :( Good Luck! and Happy HoopiDays! sorry, i know i'm a cornball

I've checked my hoops, as long as they are collapsable and inside my bag. I have one big suitcase and my hoops fit perfectly if I put them in there diagonally.

I make my hoops collapsible figure 8 style and put it inside my suitcase or clipped to my carry on, no problems. this is what i plan on doing in 2 days. i heard if youre traveling with multiples you can also just wrap them in some fabric and check them.

I have the "break-apart" hoops from hoopnotica & troohoops and have never had a problem carrying them on the plane ( except for the one time that the stewardess didn't store it carefully in the overhead compartment so an angry old lady bitched me out about how it "kept falling on her head").
Next year I plan on getting a collapsible LED hoop so I will find out how that works as a carryon!

a way out of the hoop

I'm stuck in a loop with the hula hoop. When I was a little girl I was abused in every which way. Often I was grounded to my bedroom, with two bathroom visits and a dinner release. In my bedroom held my boom box. Loud music would draw my angry step father towards my room. But I had to dance, so from a young age I would take a few preventable beatings so I could dance in my bedroom. Pretending I'm dancing on stage with Brain Setzer, I had trained myself to ingore reality while I dance. Even…
for the love of hoopers......

I haven't posted for a very long time, but I have something worth sharing. In the last couple of years, I have advanced enough to start teaching and I absolutley love my classes. All my students are wonderful its the most favorite part of my week. Through a very unfortunate series of events, every hoop I own, including my hoops for students, were taken and no longer in my possession. I was so upset ,not for myself, but my students would have nothing to take class with. There…
