So I started hooping about three years ago to channel my hurt and anger. I’ve always been into physical acts such as aerial hoops or silks, sword swallowing,dancing silks and of course hooping. I first started out with s simple hoop from Wal-Mart. But as I kept learning more tricks, I needed an even stronger hoop. So the first hoop I ordered online was simple clear and 20 inches. I needed it wide enough to learn pass throughs. You should always start with a big hoop so when you have the trick down smaller hoops are easy. 7 months into hooping I got one that has lights inside. This means rechargeable batteries and a heavier hoop. So leg tricks become harder because it’s a different weight. This however looks great in the dark for full body tricks! Almost a year into hooping I got the future hoop pro for my birthday! It has 5 different color/pattern modes and is actually really light. Summer is my favorite time to hoop because it’s barely any wind! And it’s nice out! It excites me even more knowing that Friday night Sesh will be rave like and I can bring my hoop and show out!
