Susan replied to the discussion 'It's time to be aggressive with this.'"It takes practice to hoop in a small space, and at night (with fire or LED especially). You need to practice awareness of your surroundings and other people. Know what moves you can execute perfectly aka without dropping or saving and stick to…"

6 Pocket Leaf Utility Belt Black Leather, great for festivals, burns, travel
6 pocket black leather leaf design utility belt. Asking $90 + $10 ship if you're not local to Atlanta or make me an offer/trade!I bought this from Etsy a while ago for $110 + shipping. It is max 40" and minimum 32". I had it custom ordered to my small size since the belts are usually 36-44. It is like new, only worn twice. I am selling because I am travelling heavily this summer and need one that will fit my pass port :)It has 6 pockets, four leaf ones, one outside zipper pocket, and one inside…See More
Susan replied to the discussion 'hooping in your non dominate direction'"It's definitely all in the practice! Learning to hoop in the opposite current is like learning to hoop all over again."
Susan replied to the discussion 'A new way to hoop! Polycarbonate bubble ring by LanternSmith'"Well that would've been nice to know before I collapsed it haha. Do and learn I guess :P"
Susan replied to the discussion 'A new way to hoop! Polycarbonate bubble ring by LanternSmith'"We are going to try metal connectors next. Aluminum is the best bet for lightness but not sure if it can withstand the polycarb. :)"
Susan replied to the discussion 'A new way to hoop! Polycarbonate bubble ring by LanternSmith'"I bought 30ft of clear polycarb from hoopsupplies and the xxs quick releases they provide. I made a 30"OD hoop and I really like it (29" ID 5/8 polypro is my usual). It was definitely a pain to work with though because it doesn't like…"
Susan liked Martika* of MartikasMysticDesign's discussion Fire Spinning At Wakarusa Music Festival, new rules.Susan replied to the discussion 'Fire Spinning At Wakarusa Music Festival, new rules.'"Absolutely brilliant and necessary. Thank you for doing this for everyone!"
Susan replied to the discussion '5/8 Mini Hoops'"Do you have some way to hold the hoop ends flush while you rivet? We clamp them in a vice that holds the hoop together how we want it, then drill and rivet."
Susan replied to the discussion '5/8 Mini Hoops'"What kind of connection are you using? Friction fit, quick release, permanent rivet?"
Susan replied to the discussion 'What a hoop shouldn't look like when you receive it.'"Double layered insert? Like an insert, then an insert in that? Never heard of that before o.o"
Susan replied to the discussion 'A new way to hoop! Polycarbonate bubble ring by LanternSmith'"Thanks for the update. That makes me wonder why Hoopsupplies makes it in coils while no one else does. I know they privately contract with tubing manufacturer's for their products, but it seems more efficient for everyone to manufacture and…"
Susan replied to the discussion 'What a hoop shouldn't look like when you receive it.'"I agree about contacting them. Most companies value happy customers over anything else and may be willing to fix the problem It may have been put in the box like this, or it have been damaged during shipping. And yes, they should probably up their…"
