Making my first hoops. Part 2

Posted on April 19, 2010 at 8:03pm 11 Comments

Excitement was then followed by confusion. How on earth was I going to have enough patience to heat up the tube with a hair dyer. Well I didn't! I ending up switching tactics and boiling some water, which I then inserted the end of the tube into. Much faster! But it has…  

Making my first hoop

So I started my hoop making experience last week. I started searching on hoop city for the best hoop size (that's available in Canada) and came up with 3/4 100 psi. So I went on a search to find it in the stores. The only one around seemed to be Home Depot. After much debate I decided to fork out the $49.99 that it was going to cost. That's the price for personalized hoops I thought. for a final bill of $110 I walked out of Home Depot with the tubing, connectors and lots of coloured tapes.…

Hey, can you link me to the facebook group you mentioned? I also know a few other new hoopers as well. We have craft nights on Wednesday, and a few of us hoop (and some knit, and other crafts).

Hi Erica
I am not teaching a hoop class in Waterford at the moment, but I am to start soon in Simcoe at the fitness centre I work at. It's hoop fitness, not hoop dance. So hopefully, the gals will love it and it will be a big hit! Thanks for asking!

Hi Erica
thanks for the welcome
I'm in Kincardine, ON
A bit north for "southern"... but close enough.
I'm just relearning the moves I learned a few years ago.... didn't keep it up after I moved from Vancouver back to Ont. Love all the info etc. on this site, cuz I don't know of anyone that hoops in this area.
Cheers
Andrea

Hi Erica. The Festival went well. Did not sell as many hoops as I'd hope, but certainly dropped the HoopCity name - I had the logo and a lil message "for community, inspiration and tutorial videos visit..." on the backs of my price tags and on cards to hand out. I believe it was a success. Now for some Kijiji rampaging!
