Hoola Hoop Tape Tips

natasha and her tape Tracey in Shawnee, Oklahoma, wrote in asking for tips on how to tape her hoop. Decorating your own hoop for the first time can be a challenge, so when you're done making your hoop, here's a video trio giving you the inside scoop on how it's done by two women who have it down. Natasha in Dayton, Ohio, delivers some excellent instructions on how she tapes her hoops and why, followed by two videos of Xta in Vancouver, British Columbia, wrapping herself a rainbow hoop while explaining the methods to her madness. So enjoy these visual guides on how to decorate your hoop and you'll be taping like a pro in no time.

Comments

I collected a number of the online resources you list here and put them all together in a site called "How to Make a Heavy Hoop."

I welcome additions and thank all the people who created the content that I used here.

I'd appreciate links to this site in tribe groups, discussion board and hooping blogs to help new hoopers learn how to make their own hoops.

  Track of the Week

Our two tracks for the week start off with Cosmic Cowboys and their new release "One Last Whisper." We're especially loving the Hiro Remix which is why we've added it to the Hoop Sounds iPod below. Check it out and other mixes and download yours on iTunes by clicking:

Cosmic Cowboys - One Last Whisper EP - One Last Whisper

Next we cool things down with a track for some dreamier hooping. The track is called "Ruby" from the new release from Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté of Mali. We think you're going to like it. Give it a listen on the iPod and get your copy on iTunes by clicking:
