The Hop Hoop thread

Yeah maybe for like 3 seconds max!

Sadly, no naked hooping

roar, when we meet up I will teach you to be a hooper!! you wil be hhhoooooping mad by the time you've spent an arvo with me

Look out Tiger lady. Eve is awesome and has lots to share.

Oooh yay! That would be awesome. I'm looking forward to it

aww thanks Gnor!
yay for hooping!

*bumpity bump bump bumpity bump*

Just got my pair of 20" psihoops!! They are so pretty; weaves & windmills look so good! A bit heavier than I expected -- it's difficult doing my favorite hand-hooping trick (two hoops on one hand spinning in split-time) but I think it's just a matter of building up strength. And getting better at the trick.

Also I got the hooping on the shoulders thing last night! Been struggling with that one for a while so I'm stoked.

I made a couple of hoops today. I've barely put them down all day

You had time to pop them in your gallery though

:wigglewiggle:

I need hoopy inspiration..the coldness makes me want to laze about aalways...ooo I like that moon avatar..I want ot know what its saying

have you read my signature?

I thought it lacked plot.

anyone know who make hoops in the uk?

i think i'd like a set of small (50-60cm) solid colour hoops soon...

I think you'd have to go with a thinner tube if you wanted to get them that small.

At least if I was making them I would.

You're in good hands with Skully though.

ooooh Coleman wants small hoops? Looking forward to seeing what you do with those...

They're too small to wiggle. I'd assume it's something kinky.

well.. made myself a collapsible hoop.. needs to be taped to be used.. and not perfectly round..but does have sparkles

now to work out what to do with the thing?

although, regarding hooping in both directions, it is important to learn so you don't cause asymmetrical muscle growth causing future back promblems.

whoops, i think i responded to a post that was not near the end of the thread, but now i can't figure out what page it's on...

perhaps Cole is going to do make some nice piratey style earrings with his new hoops

weeeee! I will be in the UK in 4 days, I can't wait to meet all the uk hoopies to swap tricks!!

I'm stoked -- just worked out a bunch of flower variations with my double hoops. (I think that's how poi-style hoop should be referred to. Analagous to staff vs. double staff.) Anyway I did forwards & reverse, butterfly & goofy flowers in both same time and split. Will post some vid soon.

If you're already doing flowers with poi, it's not that hard. Getting used to the hoop spinning longarm behind you & getting a clean plane back there is the hardest part (as it was with poi, for me).

Khan, you rock!

skully hoops!

I can't wait till I get to the UK and can have one. Do you post them in the UK or is it ridiculously expensive? And how long of a period of time do you want to have to work on them? (Like when should I have decided what I want!)

Got right into hooping after I bought one of skullys hoops at PLAY

I was fine for first 10 seconds or so and then hoop would fall down....

Was hooping in my jammies yesterday morning and it was so hot I took my top off. And then wow! I can hoop forever.

I think love handles being exposed makes a great shelf for them to sit on
Also having sticky skin for the hoop to grip too.
Also when I'm moving it up my body it makes a great *click clack* sound as it rolls over my nipple piercings

i was trying the other day, hit my right nipple piercing *hard*. was not funny, for me anyway

cheers, pete

Strip-hooping with Erin on Sunday night! Yee-ha!

I've got a hoop now, Molly&NYC-make. YAYYYYYYY! Just been practicing on the bed (for lack of space anywhere else inside), and apart from keeping the neighbours amused I can keep it going for a while

Be prepared for lots of stupid questions!!
