Hmm. Try Etsy stores, like dancinginthecircle.etsy.com or sunbeamlaserbeam.etsy.com or hipEhoops.etsy.com. You could always buy from Hoopnotica or HoopGirl online too. But I love buying from Etsy because the people will really work with you if you want a customized order and all three of the stores I've listed I've talked with the owners many times about hoops and hooping and am friends with all. :-)
just wanted to give you a big thank you, sarah (dancinginthecircle) is currently making a customized hoop for me, i cannot wait to get it in the mail @ the end of this week! hope to see you next year, maybe you can teach me a few things!
;D You're welcome! Sarah is an absolute dear and a wonderful hooper. I've been eying her Grateful Dead hoop for the last week. I do hope to see you next year; definitely pop in to hoopcity.ca, we can teach you all sorts of tricks.
Anyone know where to find those glow hula hoops at a decent price?
LED ones? You can make your own from the ProdMod kit here prodmod.com/make/. I also make hoops where you just insert glowsticks that are connected together to make one solid giant glow circle; you may have seen some of those at Bonnaroo between mine and the six other ones I sold to some fellow hoopers. Granted, glow sticks have to be disposed of but it's a great way to glow hoop if you can't afford an LED or don't have time to make one.
You can also get LED hoops @ www.superhooper.org or www.psihoops.com or on Etsy too. If you're interested in a glow stick hoop, let me know, cause those don't take too long to make.
I saw this girl in the mud pit at the back of Which Stage as I was leaving TV on the Radio. There were several people just standing around watching her hula hoop in the mud.
i wanna start too! where's a good place to buy a beginner hoop?

Thanks for the shout out! Hip-E-Hoops is me ;D
That's you? Well that solves my question of where to order mine I'll be ordering within a week or so when my wallet recovers from June.

You're welcome! One of my friends (a new hooper) bought the At Dawn hoop from you last month; when she told me who she bought it from on Etsy, I got all excited and said "I know her!" ;D
Thanks guys! I'm going to be out of town for Rothbury and All Good soon, but if you get to me before, in between, or right after, I can usually get a hoop out the next day. Thanks for all the compliments!

I REALLY hope you are still in town, cause I just ordered the Berry Vine hoop from you!
I need your help, ladies! I ordered three hoops for me and my two little ones. I have also contacted every place in town (Bloomington, Ind.) to see if anyone offers lessons [local arts center, YMCA, placed a free classified online at the local university]. No luck thus far. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks in advance for any thoughts you share!

I got my Berry Vine hoop from Clairity today! It's so pretty I can go both directions on my hips and neck, but knee hooping is proving to be much harder. I love it!

If anyone is in or near Chicago, there's a hooping class on July 24th at YogaNow. I've taken a class from this girl before and she is AWESOME! Here's a link to her new site.
LADIES...If any of you are in the Birmingham area (or near) I found a class in Birmingham! It's $15 a class for non-gym members, which is a little pricey, but it's totally worth it! I'm excited now! Apparently you get two free passes at first, which is pretty sweet...I'm hoping its worth it!
Here's a link to a local story about some fire dancers getting ridiculous fines. There is also a petition going, so if anyone wants to sign, every signature counts!!

Thanks for posting this, boox! I came here to post it up and you already have it here ;D I posted this on my Facebook, on Hoop City and the Hooping Tribe. Even if you're not a hooper or fire dancer (a couple of these ladies were fire hoopers), it's horrible that this overzealous police officer is squashing creativity and fun simply because he doesn't understand it and even more so, *doesn't want* to understand it. He's like the Head Blue Meanie invading Pepperland and destroying happiness.
Please sign the petition and let everyone you know to go and sign it too! It only takes a minute...
Hoopers - I need some advice about buying tapes. I have everything else I need to make hoops, and have made a couple using plain electrical tape. I'd like to order some nice tapes so that I can start taping and making my own hoops!
I have no idea where to start - I've looked on identi-tape and findtapes and I am so confused! What are good starter things to buy? How much should I buy? And more importantly, how much tape will each hoop need?

LOL, now we're getting to where I spend exorbitant amounts of money because I'm a sucker for pretty tapes!
I use identi-tape almost exclusively but I've found cool tapes in random places (a fishing lure store on eBay, for example). The cheapest way is electrical tape but the vinyl tapes on identi-tape are really good. And I use gaff tape for grip; on the hoop I made you, I used the 1/2 inch gaff for one side and 1/4 inch gaff on the other side of the sequin tape. And the metallic deco tapes.....man, that's like a sparkle addiction for me!
Honestly, I can buy one roll of vinyl and one roll of gaff and decorate several hoops with it, but how much you use depends on your design and the size of the hoop. And the sparkle tapes aren't as long (or stretchy) as the vinyl, so one roll of sparkle tape can go a ways, but just not as far as vinyl. I have yet to actually run out of anything except for the clear vinyl but that doesn't stop me from buying more tape.
Recommendation: buy a couple rolls of vinyl, gaff and sparkle/shiny tape and see how far you get. If you use identi-tape, the minimum order has to be $25.....if you ever buy $100 or more tape in one order, you can use the discount code "hula-hula" for 15% off (posted on hooping.org somewhere) -- it's totally possible, I'm about to do it on Friday so I can do a ton of hoop decorating in the next couple of months.
but I love it so much!
Well that's good to know. I just felt like everyone expects just girls to be doing it...
