YAY I am a fountain wader now!!!!!
woohoo!!
i learned how to hula at the end of a long night at the bar. my friend walker gave me some instructions on how to do it, and it worked! ever since i've been a hula fanatic(check my title under my stars!! ;D )!!
I figured out last night that I can hoop in the living room if I move some stuff around and I don't get too crazy. So I set up my laptop in there and spent about an hour learning from those instructional videos on hooping.org and OMG. I love hooping!!!! I'm catching on pretty quick, and I can really feel it in my core. I'm gonna be a real hooper with a slammin festie bod in no time!

I made mine. I made 4 for like $30. It's really easy. There are directions on hooping.org. It's not too hard once you get the hang of it. And that website has a bunch of videos that teach you step by step how to do some cool tricks.

wow! that is crafty! I think a trip to town is in order! We should try to be the record for most people hooping at once......seems like lots of hoopers at roo.
I just looked up directions to make an LED hoop. It doesn't look to extremely hard. I may try this before my festie season starts www.instructables.com/id/LED-Hula-Hoop/
I think I'm gonna try and make my own. I'm interested in trying it out. Any tips for the first time hoop maker? How heavy are they naturally? I want to use it to help work out while I hoop, so... what - it needs to be about 3lbs from what I read?

Here's the first few I've made, there were more but I've given a couple away. Going to make another eight. Figured out a way to add removable LED lights too. Different colors with flashing, looks cool at night. Hoping to make a little roo spending money with some parking lot sales...

i saw a few people selling hoops at rado
good luck!!! make em sparkly to attract sparkly girls ;D
Nenna, I didn't add any weight to mine. They are probably only about 1.5 pounds (I think) and they are still a workout. I can really feel it in my abs - plus I'm bruised up a bit. I hate to see what kind of bruises a heavier hoop would cause.
Guess what. I learned a new trick last night! I can now hoop around my neck, then drop my head out so the hoop goes around my shoulder. But I can only do it on the right so far. Everytime I tried the left side I wack myself in the back of the head with the hoop. Ouch.

Thanks for the info Clarity. I'll think I'll make my first one "normal" and see how bad it kicks my butt.
Kudos on the trick too! I can't wait till I look like a goof attempting to hoop in the backyard while all my 55 or older neighbors wonder what the heck the weird girl is doing now
OK. Bringing this thread back to life one more time, because I've started my own little business selling hoops! I'll be adding a lot more to the myspace, but here's a link if you want to check it out, and request me, and give me lots of good comments. www.myspace.com/hipehoops and some pics of what I've done so far
