SaFire Hoop Dancing Classes (Fall 2008 Session)

[Karenira]

Już mam! Można kupić NORMALNE hula hoop na Allegro (cova1)!

[mojo69rising]

Man, you make it look so effortless!! Do you get many/any blokes along to your classes?? Cause it sure seems like a good way to keep fit.

Excellent Vids... Top work!! You have the knack!

it'd be crazy to see a hula-hoop blade in a movie some time. like a circular blade being wielded with these kind of moves. Imagine the carnage set loose by such a weapon with a skilled artists *drools*

[neogeon]

...it would cut your hands...

[sirdeadlock]

no-no. the inner side of the hoop would be blunt, and of course there would be bound hand-hold sections (at least 1). It's very very possible, and I think it would look so cool. but just as a reminder, a blade's edge only cuts when it moves. If you grab a knife by the sharp side and squeeze decently hard, it won't cut you if it doesn't move (but it will leave a red mark from the pressure, and too much pressure can lead to a puncture).

only if you use ridiculously dull knives....

[Chick6517]

Awh, I appreciate your videos! Thanks for making them. Nice lighting that you used when you were recording it (; haha

[Karenira]

Ktoś wie, gdzie można kupić hula hoop w Polsce? Najlepiej przez Internet bo raczej nie będę jechać do Warszawy...

[boryswawa]

Po pierwsze - allegro - wpisz hula hop i coś tam znajdziesz.

Poza drugie - sklepy sportowe typu decathlon.

[Karenira]

Allegro - nic z tego, mają tylko takie idiotyczne plastikowe z kulami masującymi (kupiłam z braku innych opcji) ale nie da rady kręcić na klatce piersiowej bo strasznie boli.

Decathlon nie ma. Jedyny to Gokisport, ale oni mają do wyboru tylko 900g lub 230g to też dość skrajne opcje.

is it easier to do tricks with a weighted or non weighted hoop?

[FireSandra]

Hoop dancing hoops are heavier and bigger than children's hoops. They make it MUCH easier to learn tricks with. They don't have to really heavy though. Heavier hoops will be easier for hooping but harder for off the body tricks and you won't be able to whip it around quickly. So be careful how heavy you choose.
