Advanced Hoop-making: How do you make rounder hoops?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Tyler Icarus May 7, 2011. 25 Replies 2 Likes
Okay, I have been dabbling at hoopmaking for several months and have sold a few and made a dozen or so for myself for classes and personal use. My problem is that a lot of my hoops are not as round…

It is completely awesome to find that my tattoo of my fire hoop is featured here on one of my favorite sites, but it also made me wonder if anyone else has a hooping related tattoo and what it looks…
Why is it that some of us are clockwise and others counter-clockwise spinners?

OK so almost from day 1 I was a natural counter-clockwise spinner. I have noticed that counter-clockwise seeems to be more dominate among the hoopers I know, but when my roomate started he is a…

Actually I have found I no longer learn from beginner students anymore and they can even take away a bit as they get my thinking to shift from flow to tech temporarily after showing them things.

Tyler Icarus replied to the discussion 'My Impromptu 5 Week Road Trip and Hooping tour to Burning Man and Back'"It's starting to come up on trip time.

Tyler Icarus replied to the discussion 'My Impromptu 5 Week Road Trip and Hooping tour to Burning Man and Back'"Thanks a bunch! I do hope to run into you at the Burn if you are going too. I haven't decided on a camp but might be a spincycle. If you see a stocky guy with two mini hoops jumping through 18 inch hoops and spinning two on one hand that would…"

"Some new Fire Fan work. I have started to love Fire Fans nearly as much as hooping and definitely more than Fire Hooping. "
Profile Information
- Do you teach hoop classes? *Please only answer 'yes' if you teach classes on a regular basis.
- Yes
- What year did you start hooping? (e.g. 2003)
- January 2010
- Who is your hoop mamma or papa? (The person who introduced you to hooping)
- Don't have one was sort of shunned for a long time till people figured me out a bit. ( Male hooper, big guy, disabled, etc)
- Who's hoop style do you love? i.e. Who inspires you?
- I have never seen a style I emulate. Certainly Caroleena was one of my first teachers at wildfire, but largely I carved my own style out by practicing 2-3 hours a day. I tend to do more off body than on but I do enter on body phases and I love doing both. I also started doing doubles for a long time but I am back to preferring single hoop only using smaller 20 inch single hoops. Who knows what will come next?
- What is your goal for 2013 and why is it important? (Doesn't have to be hoop related.)
- OK met and exceeded 2011 goals. This year I am going on on tour teaching and hitting a few festivals including Burning man. Will have future posts but I want to connect with hooping communities and teach at various hoop/spinjams end of August through late Sept. Will be doing it for contributions only and a place to crash at and just to meet hoopers from around the country.
If that's not enough made a plan tonight (2/29/12) with my good friend Echo we are going to plan and start a new hooping camp in the Wildfire tradition of circus arts that is affordable to everyone and run by everyone. Everyone buys a ticket everyone is responsible for making it happen we all come together and make it what it can be. Plus it saves a lot of money that way.
2012 goals may be ambitious but they are already manifesting... may even have to add some more
