I got online at a new forum I just joined and said something along the line of "WAAAAAAAAHHH...my 7yo is so much better than me...why can't I hoop...WAAAAAAHHHH!" They took pity on me and gave me a ton of pointers...chief of which was "make the hoop bigger and heavier".
I also got some advice on how to tape the hoop to increase the friction and what type of clothing to wear...both more form fitting and natural fibers, and how to move within the hoop, how to place my feet, etc.
SO...this morning I made me a BIG 'Ole Hoop...it reaches my chin...which is about 60" across(I'm very tall, don'tcha know). Then we put 3 cups of water in it and taped up the connection (it still leaks badly, but it's hot, so we don't care). As for the other stuff, I've gotta wait until I can acquire the materials.
And guess what!!
That's right, I can hoop! And what's more, I'm STARTING to be able to catch it when it's on it's way down...
It's AWESOME! I can't tell you how great it is to have a little success after 5 days of trying. YEAH!
And what's more? Grandma is doing it MUCH better, too. She was having a hard time keeping it going like she wanted.
Check her out!!! (Can I just say how much I love this picture?)
Grandma is so much better that she has taken to taunting our reigning champ. Let's just say Bear did not take the challenge lying down...
I'd say that Bear is probably safe in her title for awhile...
See ya around...
