Kara replied to the discussion 'HELP! Can anyone tell me what this trick is called or show me a tutorial??'"I also also like practicing these near a wall so I can check whether the plane is staying nice and flat. It's easy to get wobbly and discombobulated while spinning around like that, so the wall helps keep me in line."
Kara replied to the discussion 'Youtube trolls and their disparaging, degrading comments'"Yes yes, I know people can be mean and the world can be unfair. And yes, survival is important (though survival can be a long difficult process for those who have been through trauma and should not be treated so blithely.). But why do you feel the…"
Kara replied to the discussion 'Youtube trolls and their disparaging, degrading comments'"I'm sorry, but I don't understand why it's okay to say disparaging things to people just because you find it funny. Saying something like that to a random person downtown is abusive and misogynistic. What purpose is there in…"
Kara replied to the discussion 'Friction connection or rivets?'"Sorry, the link didn't seem to work. Just google 3M hi strength 90."
Kara replied to the discussion 'Friction connection or rivets?'"I personally like taping my poly hoops and dislike the bump made by the rivets when taping.

Of course, I know that some people will not be able to afford events like this no matter what the price. But $450 is just too much,…"
Kara replied to the discussion 'Hooping Dreams'"I remember a thread a long while ago about hooping nightmares. Several people said they had dreams that they were trying to hoop, but couldn't because the hoop was all droopy and wouldn't stay circular. Just recently I had the same…"
Kara replied to the discussion 'Your gender expression?'"Your project reminds me of this great video by Malcolm Stuart:

Kara replied to the discussion 'who knows how to do this amazing move!'"Ooh, and instead of going directly into one leg hooping, she puts the leg back in really fast."
Kara replied to the discussion 'who knows how to do this amazing move!'"Here's a tutorial:

The only difference is, the girl in the first video puts her leg over instead of inside the hoop. I imagine the general idea would be the same."
Kara replied to the discussion 'i need friends in the bay area.'"Oh awesome. You'll meet so many amazing hoopers there, I'm jealous. :)
If you ever want to check out the Berkeley hoop jam, here's the information. Hope to see you…"
