Does the surface you are hooping on make a difference?
Hi hoopers!
I recently started to find my groove with hooping at the knee. I tried and tried while I was home, but then a few weeks ago while I was at the beach, I finally hooped at the knee! I did it a couple times while I was standing on the beach in the sand...it was sooo exciting!
So then I got back home from the beach and started hooping in my living room (with hardwood floors). I went to knee hoop again, and the hoop fell to the floor...day after day, over and over again. I had no luck!
Just last Friday, I was hooping outside in the grass with some friends and I tried to hoop again at the knee...and I did it! I found my little groove and I kept with it, even trying to bring the hoop up to my waist from my knees and everything...
So then I got back home on the hardwood floors...I tried again, with no luck. I even tried switching up my stationary leg to see if that would make a difference. I apparently can't knee hoop indoors!
This is really frustrating so...has anyone else experienced anything like this? Would this indeed be because of the surface I am hooping on or do you think it has to do with just me hooping indoors?
When I was hooping at the knee on the beach I was wearing my swimsuit, then the other time I was able to do it I was in a skirt that fell below my knees (100% cotton). At home, on the hardwood floors, I just had a pair of boxers on (also 100% cotton). I figured I'd let you know in case you would ask!
Any ideas? Or tips for that matter?
Thank you! :)
