The Hop Hoop thread

But what music do you listen to while spinning your sparkley hoop?

Hello Hoopy people..

I just started hooping two months ago. If anyone knows of hoopers in Tassie..please tell me..thanks!

i dont hoop myself............

but i had the pleasure of filming Molly in ireland...........

her hooping rocks!!

Molly + Hoop =

I once hooped for 26 seconds.

That's my record so far.

I don't think I could ever do it again

Does anyone know where in Wales I can get drainage tubing to make a hop? I've looked about and everyone I ask thinks I'm crazy. Help before I lose the will to wiggle!

No!

Well... you COULD order the stuff we do from the US. If you order a big packet it's not THAT expensive and you've got enough stuff to make about 9 hoops.

You should check it out as it might actually be cheaper. The tape can get costly too if you get too excited and order too many colours.

Yay for the Wiggle Wiggle!

Skully, I got some from Wickes although that may be no help if there isn't one near you.

Thanks Star we do have one up the road. What did you ask for? When I say irrigation tubing they keep taking me to see that hosepipe stuff with holes in.

NYC where in the USA do I order this from...... it is a pretty big place you know

I just found it in the plumbing/drainage section. They had it in rolls or in 2m pieces that can be fastened together. It was quite cheap and if you buy a roll you can make lots of hoops

All i need now is lots of coloured tape to make it pretty!

Electrical tape is cheap.... but you are limited on colours, Black, white, blue, red, orange, brown and green/yellow stripe. Sadly no shocking pink........ I'll just have to stitch my hoops some furry tubes in shocking pink..... or maybe knitt them a very long thin sock in fluffy pink wool

a haberdashery near me sells fluffy tape/ribbony stuff. It seems like the perfect covering for a hoop, i just need to save up some pennies.. fluffy hoop

I want one thats ultra padded Molly's Hoop bit me in Ireland. I had a HUGE bruise

I cant get the dizzy hips website to work... what am i doing wrong? is the addy wrong on here? xxx

Thank you strugz and fluff
You were rather fine wigglers yourselves (I'm sure I saw you have a shot strugz)

I thought you'd like to know that molly mole has taken up hooping!
There are pictures on tribe.net but I can't make them show up here

Finger hooping for portable fun

Molly... have you got a vid? xxx

there's going to be some molly-hooping in the Irish Invasion video when it gets done I think *makes hopeful faces at strugz* otherwise no.

The dizzyhips site is down at the moment - try hooping.org for exciting links or groovehoops.com for a very funky video of some cool New York hoopers (but one with a rather scantily clad young lady in it)

Is there going to be any hoopy goodness at falmouth??

I really want to learn more!!

I've just spent the last hour with lots of sparkly tape and my hoop. it looks pretty

Yeah id really like to be able to do it... it looks real pretty and could do with the exercise!!! xxx
