Hey Hoopers!I got into hooping a few years ago, and in on of my YouTube surfing sessions I stumbled upon a video of somebody in a giant hoop. That began my obsession with the cyr wheel. I know there…

"that was truly something else. I've seen peopel work with the cyr wheel, but to see your progress unfold over those 100 days is truly remarkable. Amazing fucking video man, seriously. How did you go about acquiring such a prop? I've been…"

Hey Hoopers!I got into hooping a few years ago, and in on of my YouTube surfing sessions I stumbled upon a video of somebody in a giant hoop. That began my obsession with the cyr wheel. I know there is interest in this "big hoop" among the hooping community so I thought I'd post this video of my first 100 days learning cyr wheel (totally on my own with no instruction at first).I hope you enjoy this different type of hoop journey...First 100 Days in the Cyr…See More
Randy Kato replied to the discussion 'Polypro travel hoops?'"Hi Tiffany,
I make custom polypro collapsible/travel hoops. I am the RK Spinburne that Joan mentioned. You can see my hoops at http://etsy.com/shop/rkspinburne .
Cheers!
Randy"
Randy Kato replied to the discussion 'travel hoops - which one do you recommend?'"Well, I'm not a "lovely lady" but I'll chime in here. If it's light weight you want, polypro is pretty much the way to go. I've been hooping for a few years with polypro and have developed a segmented collapsible that…"
Randy Kato replied to the discussion 'Fueling Up Troubles'"Another way - when there's no good spin off area/option - is to use chemical gloves to squeeze excess fuel out of the wicks. Just use one squeezing hand with a glove as you'll want to keep the other hand "clean" to handle the…"
Randy Kato commented on the group 'Hoop Convergence'"I will be vending at HC with some stock hoops, but the price with this discount (see previous comment) is a bit cheaper than if you buy on-site. Also, I will not be crafting hoops on-site, so if you want a custom size or configuration contact me -…"
Randy Kato replied to the discussion 'Any hoopers NOT like fire hooping?'"When I first started fire hooping I did find it limiting, but after picking up other fire props and doing more fire hooping I now love it as its own thing...separate from "regular" hooping. I kind of consider the fire hoop a different prop…"
Randy Kato replied to the discussion 'Polypro sizing'"Are you ordering a hoop or tubing to make a hoop? The 5/8" OD is referring to the size of the tubing.
It sounds like you're asking about the size/diameter of the hoop itself... that's usually measured as the outer diameter (OD), but…"
Randy Kato commented on the group 'NYC Area Hoopers'"Hey Hoopers!
I've got something to brighten up this dreary day: colorful UV-reactive polypro hoops!
AND, all my polypro hoops have come down in price. Now you can have natural polypro hoops for $20, collapsible for $40, and UV-reactive color…"
Randy Kato commented on the group 'Hoop Convergence'"Hey Hoopers!
Can't wait to spin with you all in less than a month. I also wanted to offer you all a special deal - if you order one of my custom collapsible polypro hoops (now available in UV-reactive colors) you'll get 10% off and…"
Randy Kato replied to the discussion 'Love/Hate relationship with Flexible Spines'"Well, I do a lot of breaks too, and tosses (...drops), so I'm not sure that's necessarily it.
How do you store the hoop? I pretty much always hang it up or lay it flat so the weight isn't resting on the wicks/spines."
Randy Kato replied to the discussion 'Love/Hate relationship with Flexible Spines'"I've had quick wicks for over a year and I beat my hoops up... in fact they've outlasted the hoops they were on.
That said, I've heard this complaint from others as well.
What kind of fuel are you using? Since you say you're…"

RANDY!! Sorry I never replied about the Mermaid Parade! I ended up going with Rob... We saw you rocking out in the parade!! :) Next year, let's organize an all-out hooping mermaid spectacle!! :)
Thanks for emailing me! Our director is loving the idea of hilighting hoopers in our next video - I'm obsessed with watching youtube videos with hoopers!
Hey Randy. I'm in a band and we're shooting a music video this Saturday. We want to feature hoopers - any chance you're in the NYC area and interested in being in a fun video for an indie band?
Email me! info@Paperdollband.com

good eye! you are right. I do hoop to the left, and spin on my wheel to the right. I noticed it right away when spinning to the right was easier and I thought it was totally weird!
