I'm trying to branch out of my usual hoop music. I think it helps me be more versatile... I usually hoop to; van morrison, neil young, phish, umphreys, black keys, widespread panic... and music…

Taylor Gwirtz replied to the discussion 'chest hooping'"try spinning your body in the same direction your hoop is going. The hoop should pick up the extra speed

Dana Morton replied to the discussion 'chest hooping'"Yes! I second this suggestion. I was having a really hard time isolating my upper body, and was watching tons of tutorials, which I understood, but I felt like I just physically could not get it..... (I have never been able to shimmy, I end up…"
Hooping Ted replied to the discussion 'hoopers that give us a bad rep.'"Wow. I'm sorry about your bad experience at that show. I have a few thoughts on this.
I totally agree with luluperuse and TwiztidHoopz.I've heard some hoopers say things like "man, hooping's supposed to be about love and…"
Salardora Pantz replied to the discussion 'hoopers that give us a bad rep.'"This is definitely off topic, (just to warn you :) But with all the talk about picking up trash, I wanted to ask if you've ever wondered about where trash actually goes once we pick it up? Most of it just goes to a dump where it is…"
TeacherHoop Cubed (Heather Says) replied to the discussion 'hoopers that give us a bad rep.'
"Unfortunately, there are always people like this, and they give human beings a bad rep, period. I'm obnoxious enough to call people out on crap like littering, so I wouldn't have made many friends at all lol. I wouldn't worry about it…"
StudentAlyssa Lane replied to the discussion 'hoopers that give us a bad rep.'
"I think that no matter what the current 'trend' is there will be people who want to jump on the band wagon, but just don't have the strength or Independence to keep with the thing they love versus doing wherever the masses…"
"@ Danielle I totally have to agree with the summercamp comment. That festival is notorious for shitty litterbugs, I'm from iowa trust me I'm well aware. But they're hoopers are considerate for the most part. There are those few…"
TwiztidHoopz replied to the discussion 'hoopers that give us a bad rep.'"Honestly, hoopers are hoopers but they are still their own people. You can't expect a certain people to all act accordingly.. They still have their own wacky, and sometimes not-so-polite personalities/mannerisms. It's always saddening to…"
StudentDanielle Starshine replied to the discussion 'hoopers that give us a bad rep.'
"That's normal at every festival...at Summer Camp one year you could hardly walk anywhere without stepping on water bottles. You're always going to have careless people who are just there to get spun out on drugs and can't tolerate…"
Bearclaw Manufacturing - Tedward replied to the discussion 'Why doesnt my boyfriends brother like me?'"Okay, good, glad to see that relationship cluelessness swings both ways. I, myself, have been terribly daft about women, but it's kinda cool being on the other side.
Brandon is into you. He probably received a jolt of bonding after…"
Onyx replied to the discussion 'Why doesnt my boyfriends brother like me?'"i havent checked in on this in a while but i wanted to give everyone that offered me advice in this matter a little update. Brandon and i are building a closer relationship but he still backs away. Hoopinkat i think you hit the nail on the head.…"
HoopinKat replied to the discussion 'Why doesnt my boyfriends brother like me?'"Speaking as the eldest of three children, I can say with certainty that this is a jealousy issue. Obviously the brother doesn't hate you, or he wouldn't have helped you when you nearly fell out of your chair. He would have let you fall and…"
