I know we have a thread for fire hooping, but I had more questions so I decided to make a thread.
For those of you who are into hooping, where did you start? Did you teach yourself from youtube videos or anything like that? And where do you get your hoops?
I'm really interested in picking this up but I want to go about it right. Any help would be madly appreciated!

well i watched vids on youtube...and then got a hoop and practiced....and i find the less i think about it and just hoop the longer it stays up as it does tend to migrate down sooooo its just about practice...with allot of things... i also do poi,staff and juggling as well as contact juggling...love hoop though... just takes a while to get with the flow haha i got my hoop from.... firetoys.co.uk as i'm in the uk....mine is slightly weighted ... i just say....theres no real correct way to go about things... just make sure you get the correct size hoop for you.... supposedly its ment to come to the bottom of your ribcage when standing... so just measure from floor to your bottom of your ribs and thats around the size of the hoop you want to start with ... a slightly weighted one goes around slower so its better for beginners ^w^

Aw, thank you! Sadly I'm out of a job so I might just have to start practicing with a crappy hoop for the dollar store, but I guess it's somewhere! Thanks again

that ok no problem... if you look on youtube i'm sure you will find a video on how to weight a hula hoop with sand or beans/beads.... that way its eco friendly and you haven't spent money either ^w^ plus a weighted one is easyer to learn with as it goes allot slower...so if you get a dollar store one..just weight it with sand or something and tadarrrrr an awesome hoop GOOD LUCK ^W^

I made my hoop (hoops) I have a bunch of them now, if you'd like and I can think of a good way to ship one I could send you one. Mine aren't weighted however, they're PVC pipe with a connector and wrapped in electrical tape, nothing fancy. I have them in 1" and 3/4" diameters, the 1" spin slower, and the bigger they are the slower they spin.

I got one now, but thank you very much for the offer! It turns out I really can't hula hoop! I used to be amazing at it in grade school and now I just can't (i blame my boobs...). I have a weighted one, so it goes slow enough. oh well, more practice I guess!
