Scunshine replied to the discussion 'Water vs. Air'"the added weight from the water will definitely help your strength as Tink said, but I wouldn't recommend it as your sole practice hoop when you're moving into fire. the water's movement in the hoop makes it a lot different than…"

Tink in Tokyo replied to the discussion 'Water vs. Air'"Your heavier water-filled hoop will help you build muscle and wrist strength which will do you good when it comes to controlling lighter hoops and your fire hoop.

Nicole Colindres replied to the discussion 'Water vs. Air'"Water may be to heavy for fire. I think it would be best to get used to it without water.

Hey All! I have been using a water hoop lately as opposed to my HDPE. I want to transition to fire hoop and I figured it would be good to practice on the water-filled hoop to get used to added weight. I'm finding that it is difficult to do some tricks that I thought I had mastered. The added load makes my planes a little sluggish and I find it hard to keep it perfectly aligned when horizontal. ...This got me to wondering if other hoopers had any opinions/feedback on the differences between…See More
Turner n Hoops replied to the discussion 'Looking for Hoop-friendly roommates in FL!!'"Hey! Thanks for the support ;) I would love to hoop with you and my rambling spirit says that it is highly likely I will make my way to Jacksonville before too long!

Taylien replied to the discussion 'Looking for Hoop-friendly roommates in FL!!'"I'm in Jacksonville, which doesn't help your situation, but if you ever feel like traveling 1.5 hrs north for a show or something, hit me up! I'd love to hoop with ya!"
Turner n Hoops replied to the discussion 'Looking for Hoop-friendly roommates in FL!!'"Thank you for the advice and offer to keep your ears open! I will definitely check it out... ;)"
Laura Glick replied to the discussion 'Looking for Hoop-friendly roommates in FL!!'"I am in Orlando but not in need of a roommate. If I hear anything I will let you know. You may try the crowd at occupy Orlando, lots of people there and may need roommates. Our "camp" is at city hall on Orange and south."

I just moved here too. I'm new to hooping so I doubt I'd be of much assistance just quite yet but it's definitely nice to know there's a hooper nearby! I'd definitely be down to practice, play, or help out with whatever I could sometime :)
