It is such a nice thing to be able to hoop outdoors and breathe fresh air and let the sun smile on you while you hoop. I love this time of year and any excuse to be outside makes me happy. Any excuse to hoop makes me happy, too. So you know what I'll be doing on good weather days!

I've found I have a weird aversion to hooping on the "lumpy lawn". It's like an automatic mental block, I don't know why! I've gotta hunt down a flat surface.

But yes, I LOVE hooping outside (on concrete, lol). So much open space, cool breeze on your face, less fear of breaking something if you accidentally heave your hoop across the yard...it's great!

I certainly think for a beginner it is good to have the extra space to "give it some welly" when trying out new moves; intimidation by furniture can damage your development!

I also think I've worked out how to change the aspect ratio on my camcorder so my future uploads won't suffer from a squishing effect.
