might there be anyone that would be down for a snowy hoop session?
while i dont like the feeling of the cold, sometimes it is so beautiful to spin in the snow. and once you get whirling, it is surprising how quickly a body warms up! :)

Re: snowy hoop-down
Sat, December 29, 2007 - 2:03 PMI am planning on hooping at lease 2 times a week @ Beyer Hall or the State Gym here in Ames, followed by some yoga and 20 minutes in the steam room (all being free to the public) A few of my friends are interested too, It's a good way to work on some tricks and stay fit during the cold season.
interested let me know.

Tue, January 1, 2008 - 12:20 PMCassie,
I would love to work out some winter kinks and improve my hooping skills (I am a little beyond basics). When are you planning on meeting up? I'm in Woodward so travelling to Ames is pretty easy for me.

Re: snowy hoop-down
Tue, January 1, 2008 - 12:59 PMas far as location, i was thinking at the park on grand... maybe thats not the most convienient location for everyone though. i am not too familiar with the ames area, so if we meet up there maybe sa'ree can help with details there? maybe everyone can throw down on a good spot for them and we'll go with the best populated. i am in waukee - who's next?
p.s. i just got my first PSI hoop and am soooooo excited and overjoyed!! cant wait to meet up with all of you! -

Re: snowy hoop-down
Sat, January 5, 2008 - 6:10 AMWell, thats the beauty of living in Woodward, it is half way to Ames or DSM (30 mins. either way). I would love to meet up in DSM as well. Are you thinking of thegreenwood park by the art center or racoon valley more west almost to I-35? The other option would be that I have access to a gym so we could hoop indoors. The only catch is that if others want to use the gym, we would have to either share the space or leave. The chance of this happening is pretty low. We could meet there during the weekend or Mon./Fri nights. I am very flexible this weekend so I will be looking for posts. Let's try for tomorrow at 3:00 and start talking....
I am excited also to hoop with others. I am just beginning and I am eager to learn more and play!!!

Sat, January 5, 2008 - 9:04 AMthat sounds great! there is a YMCA in Waukee that would be a good location. usually sundays arent too busy there... i do have a holiday party ofr my work at 5, so 3 may be tricky for me.... -

Re: snowy hoop-down
Sat, January 5, 2008 - 9:27 AMThanks for the quick reply---The YMCA sounds good, I'll google directions - is there a charge?. I'm open earlier - name a time that works best for you...
Any other takers out there ?????

Re: snowy hoop-down
Sat, January 5, 2008 - 10:53 AMhey ladies, well I pan on going to Beyer hall weekly, it's free, warn and has lots of space. I think I want to go on Monday. If any one wants to come, here is the link
www.recservices.iastate.edu/beyer/
check out the place, and get directions too. I promise it will be a great time hooping, stretching, and relaxing. I am super flexible as far as time goes, send me a PM, and we can figure out the details.
peace
<3
I would be down to hit up Des Monies anytime, I have some hooping buddies there as well:) -

Re: snowy hoop-down
Sat, January 5, 2008 - 5:05 PMI checked out the link and the space looks great. I'd love to hook up with you sometime, what time are you thinking of being there? My work is flexible, I could be up there as early as 5'ish, but I would prefer a bit later.

Re: snowy hoop-down
Sat, January 5, 2008 - 5:08 PMi think there is a minimal charge for the Y.. maybe like 5 bucks or so. usually for just the pool use, its that much or right around there. i would be up for anytime early afternoon, maybe 1ish? beyer hall sounds good, i am not used to that area at all though. i cant wait to see everyone else's styles!! i always thought iowa was barren of fellow hoopers, thank goodness i was wrong!! :) sa'ree... bring your buds, love to make it a big group. -

Re: snowy hoop-down
Sat, January 5, 2008 - 5:32 PMok, i sent a msg to sa'ree and it hit me... with the weather being so nice lately, what are thoughts on meeting up at greenwood (i think) park on grand ave? i'm seriously not trying to change plans as much as possible, just a thought. -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: snowy hoop-down
Sun, January 6, 2008 - 5:19 AMCassie,
I had the same thought. Let's plan on meeting at Greenwood at the amphitheatre at 12:30. I will stick a few extra hoops in the car in case others are interested. See you then!!!

Re: snowy hoop-down
Sun, January 6, 2008 - 8:16 PMBummer about today. I was excited to get together, I am free next weekend to either hoop in Ames or DSM. I would like to share cell phone numbers so we can communicate in case of a change in plans. Afternoons are preferrable.

Re: snowy hoop-down
Thu, January 17, 2008 - 11:34 AMaww greenwood is my favorite place to hoop! Love hooping by the lake and the Andy Goldsworthy sculpture behind the art center (which you can actually hoop INSIDE). My weekends are pretty busy but will try and keep watching!! Awesome more Des Moines people around! We met weekly last summer and was only the 3 of us normally. (my friends Worth and Amber and I) -
