Hi group! I'm about a month and a half into my hooping journey and was looking for feedback from other newbies like myself:) I look forward to chatting with everyone on here!! :D

Anyone working on learning hand tricks? I don't know many hoopers in my area personally, so I watch what tutorials I can on YouTube. Problem is though, I don't even know where to begin! I know what an isolation is and practice it often, and the helicopter. If someone could steer me in the right direction it would be much appreciated:)

Happy hooping to all!

Huh, can't think of anything but watching a few (or a lot, like me) tutorials online, some of them are really good (SaFire's for example), and above all, practising. It took me weeks to finally learn it. (Still working on shoulder hooping, though). Can't guess what would work best for you, keep trying and you're bound to get the hang of it one day. ;)

Catherine: I've been having the same problem! Everyone says knee-hooping is the hardest, but I got that right away, but cannot seem to get chest hooping down!!

Hiya..I have been hooping since march. I take classes from 3 different wonderful people so I can learn different ways. I am waiting for the day my Flow kicks in because i am like a bull in a china shop. UGH! I am so stuck on chest hooping I just can't keep it level it tilts towards the sky and then my arms get tired. I have all size hoops and I am just not getting it. I watch videos of new hoopers and I get so jealous..One of my teachers keeps reminding me that One never compares themselves..we learn at our own pace. BTW I am over 50 but I so want to chest hoop. Guess the Flow comes after.???

thanks, jessica! & rachel - that sounds great, i added you so we can discuss :) i went to a summer music festival recently and i saw a booth of hoopers where i tried a 'real' hoop for the first time; what a difference!!!

Crystal: You can use a cheaper store hoop but it is very different. Usually people like to start out with the big hoops, bigger diameter and thickness of tubing which makes it a little heavier so it moves slower but is perfect for starting out and learning. And I notice as hoopers go on they experiment with tubing and size and go lighter for a more advanced style. Hoops can be pricy online but if you buy from someone who makes them personally for fun and sells them, they're usually cheaper. If there's no one locally that does that, there are probably a ton of people on this site alone that do it. I myself bought tubing and tapes to make all my own after I received my first hoop through trading things at a festival. I suggest finding someone that makes and sells them for a good price and if you do that but have no clue what sizing to get, I'd suggest 3/4 or 1 in. tubing with a psi from 100-160 and a diamater of at least 32 in. for a beginner hoop.
