"I have one =) It's juden-hoops"

"In my experience, most of the beginners in my classes tend to gravitate to the 3/4 inch 100 PSI hoops.  I have some 160 PSI, (also some superpex and polypro) but almost all go for the one I mentioned.  Good luck and have fun!"

"Here's the progression of materials that I went through during the four months that I have been making hoops/learning to hoop: 1)I started with a 100ft spool of irrigation tubing, 3/4"  160psi.  The first hoops I used duct tape…"

"Thanks for all the encouragement and advice guys =) And to those of you also recovering, best of luck!"

"Oh goodness thats awful :( I KNOW what its like to be sick, having 3 craniotomies when i was 8 and affected my entire life, but i would try maybe a lighter hoop then normal. My collapsible hoop is a little heavier than when i 1st started with my LED…"

"I woke up in a hospital with a paralized leg and two bars in my back. All I could think about, while laying there partly paralized, was foot hooping. At first I didn't understand why I was in the hospital, so I thought I could just wake my leg…"

"I just had A mass removed from one of my ovaries. I have three incision scars now on my stomach. I felt ready to go within a week, but the doctor gave me a no go on hooping and lifting(and intercourse! Booooo) for another five( I started to hoop a…"

"I wish I had more advice for you, but what I do whenever I have a healing tattoo is just avoid that area, so if I've got upper arm/back tattoos then chest/shoulder hooping is off limits. It's actually forced me to explore new things and…"
