MY LEGS ARE SORE FROM SQUATS.

Mia was a friend I used to have that liked to come over when nobody was home or everyone was asleep.

I never invited her over. She would just show up unannounced.

She was never very nice to me.

She often left me with tears in my eyes and my throat burning.

We had a fight and I told her she wasn’t allowed to visit anymore.

Sometimes I hear her knocking on the door and I want to answer for old times sake.

But I don’t.

Pictures later when I have the time.

Anyway, they are connected with a 3 inch piece of HDPE tubing - a size smaller than the hoop tubing.

One side has a rivet and the other side has a push button. This way it very easily coils down and becomes a travel hoop. Yay! :)

The 1/2 inch PE tubing was frustrating the hell out of me. It didn’t ever make a perfect circle. Always ovals. It was very, erm, noodle-like? Blah. I just don’t like it.

I am so head over heels in love with this HDPE tubing. It made PERFECT circles. Oh my god. It keeps its shape and is very rigid. I adore it so much, you don’t even know.

Both of them are 34” OD. (Pretty sure, will double check later. I have one naked and one lined with gaffer on the inside.

I’m a happy hooper! :)

For way in the future, of course.

I’m asking because my dad offered to buy one for me!

And then just smile!

Does anyone else hoop to metal?

My quads HURT.

Most of those years were just basic waist and neck hooping.

The beginning of this year (2012) is when I started to learn tricks and hoop dance.

All of this was done with kid water hoops.

Nine days ago I purchased tubing and made a few hoops.

My kid hoops are SIGNIFICANTLY heavier than my homemade hoops.

I like the lightness of my newest creations.

Also like the fact that they will not bruise me too horrendously.

Anyway, I’ve learned multiple new tricks since using my homemade ones. I’ve got foot hooping down. I learned vortex with my water hoop, but have been re-learning it in my opposite current. Learned some other random things and I’m not sure if there are names for them!

But I don’t want to jinx it.

Just know I’m on the happy train riding my way towards bliss.
