You can find all kinds of info on: www.hooping.org Its a whole site dedicated to hooping and they even have instructions on making your own hoops. I am just learning to hoop and I love it. It will be nice to have another hooper at roo.

I decided I'm going to try and make back a little of my ticket $ by making and selling (or at least trading) some hoops. Got 8 done, probably make another 8. The taping is a bitch! Working on a way to add glow sticks. Think $20 would be a reasonable price for a 45" hoop. Any decorating ideas?
Definately make your own! You get to add your own personal touch and tape with your own colors. And you'll have enough materials to make extras to give to your friends.
hooping is awesome. i can't wait til it gets warm out so i can go practice in the grass

i found the tubing at lowes...just down the street...silly me. it was so quick and easy to make...and i can get about 6-8 hoops out of it. which means i'll be spending most of the time decorating them.

OK guys, I'm gonna shame myself here for some advice from you expert hoopers. I love to watch the hoopers, and have always wanted to do it. But guys....I'm kinda going through a fat period here, lol. Can a fat girl hoop?

you're too funny!! anyone can hoop!!
i've always preferred the larger hoops, though. the ones i made last night are about 12ft and 13ft in circumference. they're big so they take longer to go around your body, and thus you have more control over the speed.

anyone can definitely do it ive never been able to even get a little hoop to go around once, but the material these are made with are made for adults. If you decide to make yours, read up on the demensions and go for a bigger diameter. The bigger the hoop, the longer it takes to go around. Also, the weight of the hoop makes it spin without much effort. They are actually pretty heavy. My hips got sooo bruised when I first started
I really want to learn how to hoop. I don't have yard, so as soon as it gets warm you'll be able to find me looking like and idot attempting to hoop at the park.
Any advice on learning tricks without an expert to help?
there are a few hooping dvds out, but i dont own any of them. I mostly just watch people on youtube. I'm sure the dvds would be helpful though because they go step by step. You can find mini lessons on youtube though.

I am a big girl - I have started hooping - it is actually a pretty good workout - the hoop I have weighs 5 lbs and is designed to trim down - says you can lose up to 2 inches in 30 days by hooping 20 min a day - of course I can only manage about 5-10 at a time

meg did you make your own hoop or buy one ?
I bought one - it was $35.00 no shipping charges - came in 4 pieces that interlock together - kinda like the poles on an EZ - up - with the little buttons that pop out and it is covered in a soft foam.
I'll see if I can find the site so you can see what I mean
This is what I got - it was shipped fast - easy to put together and take apart - and really does give a good work out - BUT - for about the first week - you may feel like you are gonna die - because it comes with a warning that it can cause bruising because it is 5 lbs - and it does but after a week or so - it gets alot easier
I hooped at ROO in 04 and was injured badly doing it. I also fell on my best friend. We both Missed 05 due to our hoop injury. DONT DO IT !!!!!!!!! It is a cruel device designed to throw you off balance and mame private sensitive areas.

ok - that was really random - I don't think I have every heard of a hooping injury - but if it happened to you - then it must be possible

You think I am kidding. Here are some folks that were thrown against the fence hooping. In the next image hoopers were drawing fire. And in the final shot these hoopers all just fell prey to injuries at the same time. And this was during Gogol Bordello set. Honestly.
