Bearclaw Manufacturing - Tedward replied to the discussion 'Polypro vs. HDPE - Under the microscope.'"I think it's a function of availability. bamboo is more prevalent in some places than others, same for plastics. If it's a shorter drive to get to Home Depot than it is to get to the nearest green bamboo patch, then people will…"
Tracy Phua replied to the discussion 'Polypro vs. HDPE - Under the microscope.'"No, kind of like bamboo?? http://thevintagewall.com/0911KEMP05.html I wonder if they would snap too easily? but I enjoyed playing with my SILs one with no problems (for only about a week albeit)."

Tracy Phua replied to the discussion 'Polypro vs. HDPE - Under the microscope.'"When I was on holiday overseas and didn't take a hoop with me, I borrowed my sister in laws cane hoop (like the ones you have in school, you know?). It wasn't half bad - why doesn't anyone use cane hoops?"
Bearclaw Manufacturing - Tedward replied to the discussion 'Hot Hooping Girl Syndrome'"In 2001, I was asked to design a fire hoop for a [now] famous hooper. A few designs later, we found one she liked (pretty much the basic design we all know and love). But I had these prototypes laying around and a couple other girls were…"

Bearclaw Manufacturing - Tedward replied to the discussion 'Polypro vs. HDPE - Under the microscope.'"I did not come across any info on variances of polypro. I do know a bit about the various PEs, but most of them are in similar production modes, so ecologically identical.
when I get some time, I'll research the various grades of PP, or,…"
Scott Crews replied to the discussion 'Polypro vs. HDPE - Under the microscope.'"Ted, whats your take on this issue when it comes to the two main types of PP? Has your research shown any difference between the homopolymer and the random co-polymer PP?
We work with all kinds of PP & PE tubings all day long, from a…"

Bearclaw Manufacturing - Tedward replied to the discussion 'Idea For Filling a 30 Minute Performance?'"Yeah, plus you'll want some interaction. 30 mins is a LONG time for kids to sit still. Maybe have a mom or some kid come up and try hooping with you (to show how hard the advanced stuff is) just before doing the LED routine."

- Hi Tedward, Gotta question for you. Sometime ago, you shared a video with me of a Geisha fan dance with collapsible fans that you made. I've been checking your site but I don't see these fans. Do you sell them? If so, how can I find out more about them? (I'm really interested to hear if they close with a flick of the wrist, like a regular fan?) Thanks for your help.
