I'm playing with a 45" and a 40" at the moment, and I find that I much rather love the feeling of a larger, heavier hoop. But, I'm worried about transitioning into smallers hoops. If I got a smaller…

Whether it be by randomly picking up a hoop, or having it introduced by a friend, how did you get into hooping? For me, it was all by chance. A group of friends and I met up one night, just to hang…

Hi, I'm new to hooping. I have a larger hoop, reaching up to my ribcage. In what ways should I ready myself for a smaller hoop? Any pointers or tips? Any help is appreciated.

Scunshine replied to the discussion 'Larger, heavy hoops.'"I have to add that I just made a 36 inch hoop from 160 psi tubing and I love it. It's so much fun to play with, and since it's smaller diameter I can do off-body stuff and the weight is getting my arms ripped. On-body hooping goes faster,…"
Joe Lampi replied to the discussion 'Larger, heavy hoops.'"This I can help you with! I started out with a 50" hoop and i enjoyed the weight and size, but it became limiting when it came to dancing and tricks. It was hard to adjust to a smaller hoop but I've just been making my hoops 3…"
Katie Emmitt replied to the discussion 'Larger, heavy hoops.'"it probably depends on the type of tubing too. If you had a thicker, heavier tubing (like 120psi irrigation tubing) that was like 3/4" or something that you taped and tried at like 38" or 36" it will have that heavy feel but go…"

If I got a smaller hoop, but, have it weighted, do you think it'll have that same "heavy feeling" a larger one has?See More
Meagan Collinge replied to the discussion 'What was your inspiration?'"I did not even realize that such a thing like hooping existed until I went to Shambhala. I was so inspired by all the hoop goddesses there I had to look up how it was done when I got home. Youtube videos have been such a big inspiration too."
Tilly Whirls replied to the discussion 'What was your inspiration?'"My hoop journey started with this music video by Donora. Sorta. Basically I was on PostSecret last year on Valentine's Day and Frank had posted a video with the song Shhh by Donora in it. I went in search of more music from the band and found…"

Hoop Cubed (Heather Says) replied to the discussion 'What was your inspiration?'"A couple of years before I turned 30, I made a list of things I wanted to do before the big 3-0.

Whether it be by randomly picking up a hoop, or having it introduced by a friend, how did you get into hooping? For me, it was all by chance. A group of friends and I met up one night, just to hang out. One of my girlfriends brought two hoops with her. This was a couple months ago, and it was the first time I picked up a hoop since childhood. I had totally forgot about them! Watching my friend hoop was amazing. The flow of it is what really caught me. I believe everything in life has a flow.…See More
Sunset Silver replied to the discussion 'Any Beginner Tricks?'"Thanks to everyone!
I stand at about 5'4", so, sometimes I feel my hoop is too big for some tricks.
I'll definitely be looking all of these up and practicing!"
