I am going to preface this with I am not the best at minis tricks, but I usually actually end up doing them with my 34" ones and they seem to do ok. I mean, yes some tricks you have to really figure out how to lean one side of your body or something to get a good flow with em, but I think 30" is just fine. Especially since you can toss em on your body and do some fun stuff that way :-D

That is just my two bits. Hope this helps!

I can use my 30's for everything but buzz saw. With some of the moves you have to learn how to overlap the hoops in a different way, but in some the extra size/time actually helps keep the planes even. I only wish I could double hoop on the body with my 30's! I can single hoop with them but can only maintain two at once for the briefest of times before I have to yank one off into lasso. I made my 30's with exactly that in mind, but it looks like it will take me a while!

The one big disadvantage besides no buzzsaw (I do love buzzsaw!) is the weight. I tire a lot faster with the 30's than I do with my 20's.

You could always get one of those led hoops that breaks into two minis! That's what I crave oh so badly...
