Started this discussion. Last reply by Shekinah Dec 30, 2010. 5 Replies

Hello hoopers,I have gotten vertical hooping down very well, but my issue is... it's a bit too vertical for my taste.  I would like to be able to do more of a 45 degree angle; I think it's prettier…

I've read a lot about polypro hoops, but I haven't seen this issue brought up, so if anyone has any comments, they are much appreciated!I just got some polypropylene tubing from US Plastics.… 

Height vs. hoop size

I've noticed there's a lot of talk about skill level and size of hoop, but I haven't found much on height and size of hoop, apart from guides for absolute beginners. I'm wondering if there is any…

"oh! i forgot to mention that if I'm having a really hard time learning a trick with my 31", it's always nice to go back to my 36" to learn something new. The size and weight help b/c the hoop moves slower. I also learned how to…"

"I'm 5"4 and I'm just learning to be comfy with 34". 36" is a pretty solid size for me and I have a 1/2" 38" that is mostly awesome, but feels to big for some moves. I think 36" is my sweet spot right now,…"

Sundara replied to the discussion 'Height vs. hoop size'
"I agree with Lisa on this one. I have been hooping for a little over a year and Im finding that although I do enjoy a lighter hoop I still enjoy a larger circumference. Im 5'5 and I would rock a 1/2" with around a 39 circumference. I just…"

Ava replied to the discussion 'Polypro Question'
"I haven't sanded any of my polypro, yet.  My favorite is a lightly taped polypro, with just one line of hockey tape for grip.  I'm making a sanded-only polypro soon, though, so I'll let you know if there's a big…"

Ava replied to the discussion 'overpriced hoops'
"Just like most things, there isn't really any wrong or right price for a hoop.  It's all based on what people are willing to pay, so if a hoop is $60, then all that means is that the seller can find people who will buy it for $60.…"

Chest and Shoulder Hooping Tutorial

Ava replied to the discussion 'Adult hoops in stores??'
