It will warp like no other... Even an hdpe hoop would, it will get over 105 at waka. And inside of a car it's brutal on hoops."

Jade Lilian White replied to the discussion 'need more help on protecting hoops from heat/theft at wakarusa!'"Hey what you should do is you can bring your LED hoop but store it in your car, with lots of blankets on it to keep it out of direct sunlight and heat. And never let go of it until it is locked back into your car.
For your polypro just have…"

Ok so I am working on vertical chest hooping and I am really struggling with it. I can chest hoop well with arms both in and out but as soon as I try to turn vertical, the hoop either falls down my back or moves up and smacks me in the face. I can chest hoop vertically with no arms fairly well, but the arms really pose a problem for me. Anyone have any suggestions? See More
