ok, so i LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE me some hula hooping. but i don't like those cheap plastic ones from wally world or something. i like the bigger, heavier ones that allow you to take more time with your hula'ing, and move in a much more fluid manner.
anyone know where i could find some like this? i want to bring one to roo, but i haven't been able to find them anywhere!
I found out that it is alot harder then it looks - I have a weighted hoop at home - have been working on it for the last month - I can still only do it for about 10 min at a time

i learned how to hula hoop from my drunken friend walker after the bar closed one night(the bar i lived at in college had hula hoops for people to use during live shows outside).
its really a lot more simple than people think. you just have to learn that it only takes one hip to move it.
first, figure out which foot you feel more comfortable having in front of the other...as if you're about to do a cartwheel, or get on a snowboard. once you figure that out, put that foot slightly in front, swing the hoop counter clockwise(i suppose it could go either way, but that's the way i start), and when it comes back to the hip you started it on, "push" the hoop back around. there's no need to move back and forth like a crazy person. just push the hoop with your dominate hip every time it comes around.
once you're comfortable with that, you can teach yourself to move with it. i just like dancing with it. i can't do any super cool tricks, but its my form of fun at shows
^^^I saw a guy hoping last year - we were watching this chick and he came up and asked her if he could and she let him - he danced around hopping for a little while - it was cool
