I know Sharna makes collapsible hoops, I have one of hers and I like it a lot :)
I also really like the look the hoopnotica travel hoop, breaks down into 4 segments and you can change the size from 42'' to 37''. i'm going to get that in the summer. you can get it on John's (hoopguy.com) website for the UK.
Hope that helps.

Hi Sonia,

I can definitely recommend the BodyHoops Infinity Travel Hoop.

I have been using one of these as my "preferred" hoop for the last 8 months now !!!

Normally a "Travel Hoop" is just used when you are travelling, but these are so good I use it all the time.

Nice grip with the cloth tapes, handles nicely and comes in three sizes.

I have these in stock, so take a look at my website, www.hoopguy.com

I also have the Hoopnotica Travel Hoops, very Grippy, and same price, also I have TheSpinsterZ collapsible LED hoops, so if you want an LED hoop you can take on holiday then take a look at these. I just sent one of these to Norway, for an 8 year old boy who has made it to the final of "Norway's Got Talent", you can see his previous performance on YouTube www.youtube.com/watch

Glad to see you are around again, hope to meet up and hoop with you again soon.

Best Regards,

John.

Oh, this is making my job harder!

I am going to buy a travel hoop on Friday night. I'm going to meet John at his juggling club so that I can see both a Hoopnotica and the Infinity hoop and choose. I have hooped with John's Infinity but that was a while ago. Now I am worried it might be too heavy, but then his hoop is a big one. All of a sudden you are all buying Infinities, I love the design, but I also love the sound of the grippy tape on the Hoopnotica hoop and also the fact that it would break down and go into a duffle bag. Such decisions ;~)/ I've just said anything red/pink/purple or green so I'll see what he comes with!

Today was a perfect hooping day, pity it was a working day. But I managed a few spins in the sunshine.

It's nice to see you back Sonia. The hoop is very therapeutic.

see after reading the reviews about the infinity, i am quite tempted to get it,but i want one that's just really a travel hoop and the hoopnotica one appeals to me,especially the fact that you can have 2 different sizes to it unlike the one size you have with the infinity. grrr too confusing! i wish i could try out both and see which i prefer :(

I've just been and collected my travel hoop from John.

In the end I had the choice made for me. He hadn't got any Hoopnotica in stock although more are on their way. I needed mine this week though, so I have an Infinity hoop, 42" medium size. But it wasn't a disappointment to choose it. They really are very well made and such a neat idea. I then went back with John and saw his amazing Aladdin's cave of hoops, including infinity hoops of all colours. Talk about a sweet shop! This hoop is a bit heavier than I've recently got used to, but not much, and having spent some time hooping recently with 20mm tube hoops I have noticed that I've lost some of my arm and shoulder strength that I gained when I was a new hooper with huge 25mm hoops and I have to say I didn't want to loose that. I love the feel of a heavy hoop for waist hooping etc. So this new green and shiny machine will help me get that back. It might also discipline me a bit more with my shoulder hooping, getting the chest and back isolations going properly.

I've just had a quick spin in the sitting room and it's great. I look like an old crock though, having strained my shoulder with over exuberant weekend hooping, trapped something in my hip which is giving me a dead leg and pain in my hip and back and a sprained ankle (I thought this was supposed to make me fit!). But apart from the limp, the bandage and the sore shoulder for lifts, the hoop looks and works great.

John had taken a battered Hoopnotica hoop along for me to try out though. The tape was very dinged and torn and that ruins the look of the hoop. But it was a great weight and the grippy nature of the rubbery tape is excellent. He has new stock on the way and I remember a recent thread on the Hoopnotica Tribe where the quality of this tape was discussed and I'm pretty certain the outcome was that Rayna said the new hoops are using a better quality tape that shouldn't rip so easily. If this is the case they are still a major contender for learning hard stuff.

I may well get a Hoopnotica hoop anyway when the new stock arrives, specifically for learning new and hard tricks and for moments when so much of me is dented that I haven't the strength for the heavier hoop. And anyway, I have to be up on the market for my tape business! That's a great excuse. As for looking after it, I find that my hoops need resilience. I don't mean to be hard on them, but I am. I'm always trying something that results on me landing on them (by accident) or failing to catch them or banging them. It's not lending them to other people that's my problem, it's letting me use them!

Thanks for your reviews John and Sue! I think in the end I will settle for the Hoopnotica one. My large hoop is 42" so i doubt one more inch would cause me any worries. Do let us know when you get some more Hoopnotica hoops in John :)

I got my hoopnotica travel hoop today. I love it, soo pretty :D
