Jaime Nicole Sarpalius replied to the discussion 'Collapsibles - Bungee Cord'

The CircularPhile replied to the discussion 'Collapsibles - Bungee Cord'
"Yes, it works like a sectional hoop (stays more circular) and is easier to carry because it still stays in one piece. It is a lot harder to make than a fold-down or push button. I have also heard people say that if the bungee cord stretches out, the…"

Tracey*Hula Hoopla* replied to the discussion 'Collapsibles - Bungee Cord'
"Hi Rachel: the theory behind the inner bungee cord is that it's internal structure holds the hoop together.  So you have the 4 segments of hoop which fold onto each other when collapsed, and (in theory) you just grab one of the segments,…"

One year hoop update. :)

Posted on July 8, 2010 at 7:45pm 0 Comments

So it's been a hell of a long time since I've made a journal entry here, may as well update you guys on whats happening with everything.

I'm kinda scatter brained so I'm basically just going to give you updates on everything I've commented on since joining this website, and update you on any other fancy stuff I've been learning.

Let's boogie. :)



In December I made my first entry, It's crazy to read that I had issues learning lifts. Now it's like breathing. Bows are super simple…  

Where's the flammables? ;)

side note: SO fucking stoked the snow is gone so i can play outside! =D

Making hoops is so self satisfying.

I made a hoop about 39' (didnt measure just guesstimated) 1" tubing. The only thing on it so far is a solid wrap of hockey tape.

Im not sure what I want to put on this hoop, so i'm going to leave it plain for now. I was kind of worried that it would turn out a wonky shape because my old roommate made a bunch of hoops with the same tubing and they all turned out bent weird all over the place.

but mine turned out perfect!! its a perfect circle! whew!
