Uhm, I think it is called Lasso. Whatever the trick is that goes from waist hooping to lifting it from your back to above your head.

I smacked my ear pretty bad. I had on glasses too and the hoop squished the top of my ear between itself and the arm of my glasses and it was really painful! My ear was bright red and HOT and was sore for about a week :'(

Have you ever hooped naked?
Topless only! That was fun.

Have you been to a hoop camp/retreat? Which one?
Not yet!
