"I tried the friction route too when I made mine, but I like to go hard too and it wasn't working. I just riveted one end and taped the middle with cloth electrical tape to keep it from coming apart. I prefer riveted because it doesn't add…"

Incorporating Levels
Started this discussion. Last reply by Allyssa Dec 15, 2010. 5 Replies 0 Likes
How do you incorporate different levels with your hoop? I notice that I am very limited at the moment, partially because of my ceiling level, but I don't utilize lower levels much either. What…

There are tons of travel sites to find out basic safety precautions you should take and how to get around if you Google. As safe as SA is and as awesome as it is to just adventure into new places,…"
Camille replied to the discussion 'Polypro/HDPE Hoop Making Tools'"The one I have is for PVC and brass. I cut my HDPE down with no problems, though it took a few minutes. Because polypro is not as rigid, I could only get about 3/4 of the way through (it would squish instead of cutting), so I took a pair of heavy…"

Camille commented on the blog post 'Two Goals'"Which festival is April 30th? I'm in MD and always on the lookout for outdoor events.
As for skill, I think most non-hoopers are pretty impressed at waist hooping, lol. Here's a thread discussing the most audience impressing moves:…"

Camille replied to the discussion 'Hooping Blindfolded: Any Thoughts?'"I find it helped me a lot in certain moves. When I switched to my smaller, lighter hoop it was a challenge, but on the other hand, if I missed grabbing it or what have you, it didn't hurt as much ;) For myself, if I'm not watching…"
Camille replied to the discussion '100% not related at all....but I'm running out of ideas! Please help!'"You might want to try plain rubbing alcohol, but on an inconspicuous spot first.

Camille replied to the discussion 'Hoop Technique DVD: Any reviews?'"Thanks to everyone who gave descriptions, it sounds like a perfect mix of technique and theory. The interviews are going to be phenomenal to watch as well. Thanks Rich for the quick order response, I can't wait to get it!"
Camille replied to the discussion 'Hoop Technique DVD: Any reviews?'"Ponder on this for a moment:
Some DVDs are geared towards those just picking up a hoop, others focus on more advanced techniques.
I have several hooping videos. I want to learn more. I do not want to learn the same things over…"
Camille replied to the discussion 'Hoop Technique DVD: Any reviews?'"Hi, thanks for the snarkiness, it really answered my question :p
I meant, as I'm sure you gathered, that while I KNOW it is a mind-blowing DVD, I would be interested in knowing what they teach. To further clarify for you, I am short on…"
Camille replied to the discussion 'tape or no tape that is the question'"When I went from bigger, black tubing hoop to my sweet, smaller, sanded HDPE hoop from www.sacred-flame.com, it was a bit too much all at once. So I bought some cheap, thin friction tale from Home Depot (it was with the electrical tape), and…"
Camille replied to the discussion 'Hoop Technique DVD: Any reviews?'"What sort of instruction? I really want to get this DVD, but being sort on cash atm, I don't want to end up with a DVD full of things I may already know.
(Of course, the interviews alone are worth it!)"

New Hoop Therapy

My sweet HDPE hoop* from http://www.sacred-flame.com/ arrived a few days ago. It came the day after I'd gotten a tetanus, Hep B and TB jab (for school..nursing hurts!). So, of course it just so happens the tetanus shot was in the precise arm spot the hoop rolls onto during shoulder hooping... Fast forward two days to more sore arm spots from blood letting being drawn and I'm desperate to hoop beyond off body moves.

To HDPE or PPE Hoop?
Posted on November 14, 2010 at 1:48pm 2 Comments 1 Like
Currently I'm mostly using a 3/4 38 in hoop of the black irrigation material. It's been great, but I need something lighter and I'd like to go slightly smaller. I've been flip flopping back and forth all week....I can't decide between the HDPE or PPE blanks from . HDPE sounds great, but people rave about PPE. On the other hand, will I find the curve for PPE too much with a material and diameter change? I don't mind a certain amount of…
