The Hop Hoop thread

Ooo I had great fun playing fire hoop on the meadows last night - NYC even videod it. Now if I was only clever enough to work out how to put videos onto internet...

There should be a hoop travelling down for Fluff, that is if she still would like one

Skuly - look here for tape. I know it's an American site, but maybe the shipping wouldn't be so much...?

and LOOK what they have!

oooo do you make hoops!!!!??? xxx

NYC is the hoop-mastermaker really, I just prettify them with tape

And you sell them? How much would they be? What colours do you do? How much is postage? ahhhh so many questions! xxx

Ooooooooooo pink!.... yay!

Now all I have to do is try and get ti Wickes...... stupid out of town shops with no passing public transport!

BOO!

Molly's firehoop video is too large to post on HoP. I knew I should have broken it up into segments. I'll tape a shorter one on Monday. Or maybe during Uberchaos.

Oh, and I've been selling the hoops at 20 Quid which I'm somehow sure has been way less than time, effort, and original cost. But I guess I'm more in for the hoop love than the money.

ooooo oooooo can i have a hoop!!!! o please Mr NYC *clings onto NYCs leg* xxx

dizzyhips site no worky

just found this, cheap neon electrical tape (although they don't appear to have any pink atm )

Hooping is dangerous!! I've managed to make piercings in both my ears bleed! somehow it doesn't seem to bother my belly button bar.

It was indeed great to see the women wiggling at Falmouth...

Falmouth was hooptastic.

I am so addicted to hooping. I'm off down the hardware store this week to get some stuff to build a couple of hoops, one for practise and one for fire.

The contact staff/hooping video will be released soon, as soon as I've learned more than 3 tricks.

Has anyone else experienced the joys of naked hooping yet?

I love my hoop... even with all you falmouth hoopers saying it was 2 small (actually i do agree on that... but pretend i didnt say that!)

What was the name of the blue tubing you guys used at falmouth? xxx

YAY
The hoopy love is spreading

I learnt lots of new tricks at Uberpoi whilst not poiing. Fancy things with the legs and feet. There should be an Uberhoop next year!

Yay for uberhoop!!! Id be keen! xxx

http://www.psihoops.com/hoops.htm i want one!

If I could find some transparent tubing I could make some like that. It'd be a lot easier than poi.

pretty lights
now where to find clear tubing that will be suitable

NYC has a dragonfly psihoop
They're VERY pretty

Picture of me having nicked off with his hoop

Thats beautiful!!!

How are they charged? xxx

Three AA batteries

Fancy, eh?

WOW! i want one even more now!
that so beautiful

Yay --- it's good to wander off and come back to find the hoop love growing overseas.

If anyone has yet to find tubing - I get it from usplastics.com

let me know if you need any other bits of advice ....

I made lots of people hoop in the dark around midnight at Womad this year. I think they just did it because they were in the tents around me and were worried that if they refused I might do something bad to them....... I got the impression they thought I was a dangerous Nutter....... I have no idea why they thought that though...... I was uber nice to everyone

Naaa, you're just really good at persuading people to do stuff

In your case I managed to persuade you without even persuading you. I was trying to persuade 2bags and Durbs, but they weren't man enough to do it

looky what i made
(well looky at a bit of what i made!)


FLUFFY HOOP!

I'm going to try and make up a load to bring to Play with me.
