    i know how to make them and all.. BUT when i went to the store because i was having an OCD moment and needed to make some hoops.. the biggest size of tubing they had was 5/8ths so i bought it.. but now that i've made only one hoop.. the tube is way to flexible.

    so my question is.. how to i make it stiffer? did i just waste my money? if i tape it a lot will it be stiffer? is there something else i could do to make it not so .. droopy?

    what's the PSI rating? if it is 80, you will just need to make kiddie hoops, pass them along and start again.
    1 inch 100 to 160 is hoop range for MOST people.

    i ended up buying thicker tubing. it worked just fine.

    the other stuff.. i might be able to make kid hoops.. or save it for an art project.

    sure and I got that. But Arianna demanded I hoop with her in a second set back in 98 at the Mish.
    I'd never hooped before, and this demanding lil 7 year old was being beyond insistent, and her dad was just laughing at me from stage.
    so I made a fool outta myself in front of 1000 rolling hippies.
