Where to get Hoop Tapes

Where to get Hoop Tapes? Hmmmm….

Someone asked about where to get hoop tapes recently. Here’s my reply:

“Of Course Hoopologie, JAMhoops Limited, are my favorites that I’ve shopped with online and in person. Also if you have to just get really creative and need a little bit of tape to start, do try your local hardware stores like Home Depot (some basic electrical tape colors), Ace is always more, but there’s coupons.
I’ve found tape in really weird sources though (like auto stores!) and I get VERY creative. I’m not a fan of duct tape, because it’s a disaster mess to remove and re-tape good hoops. I know lots of people use it though, and I used to when I first started making hoops years ago.
Also, sports supply stores sometimes have some grippy or gaffers sports tapees, sometimes.

I also can totally vouch for my guys Nick and Brody over at Things That Glow in Denver for some nice UV gaffer tapes!

P.S. I can’t tell you how many calls I get to buy a roll of tape off of me, lol! That’s how I get some of my hoop biz, because people see how I wrap with such attention to detail. I also have lots who come to me after they’ve tried to either make or tape their own hoops. I’ve learned a lot in 10 years and still stay open to learning and growing on a constant basis. I’m not a $5 Walmart toy hoop, or a $10 Etsy hoop purchase, but if you want a high quality lovely boutique hand-crafted custom pro hoop–based on your personal hoop needs and goals, we can start with a complimentary consultation…which is a lot of years of experience I wish someone had clued me in on before my expensive and time consuming self-learned lessons!”

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show~ Free Theme

Hoop Love Ya'll Show with Che Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla~ Health, Humor and Hooping ~ Free Theme

In This “Free” Theme Show Episode/Topics:

Free?–Yes? Sort of. Free is a good idea. Free fits in the budget. But Free isn’t always actually free. Sometimes you have to exchange time,  energy, and even money–depending on what else you are willing to give up to get what you want. Free only has value if you put that resource into use right away. ♥ Hoop Love, Ya’ll~Che’

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show

Health, Humor and Hooping with Che’ Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

♥ Laughter Yoga Breathing Exercise ♥

♥ Cute Pet Cameos ♥

Myths and Truths of “Free”:

1. Myth of “Free Time” – You probably won’t magically “find” any free time, but you may need to create or reallocate time from something else. Example: Goal vs. sleep. If you can get up a little earlier to work on your goal, that may be a viable option to achieving what you want.

2. Myth: You “Can’t Afford” ~ There are many resources available for free. Start by asking your local librarian. Or visit the internet. Just remember that “free” can be a free-for-all in sorting out truth, options an opinions.

♦♦♦Free Technique To Try:
“The Radio Dial Game”

♦ 1. Start with a real radio with a dial.
♦ 2. Stop on the first song and pick something to do.
♦ 3. Go to next song on the dial and pick something else to do.
♦ 4. Use your “hoop notebook” to capture ideas when you do have them, for practice times when you don’t.

Additional Inspiration/Quotations:

♦ “Free fits in with my budget!” ~ Che’ Rippinger
♦ “Why ‘work’ on it, when we can just ‘play’ with it.” ~Che’ Rippinger

♦♦♦Free Resources…GO!

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show ~ Dream Big Theme

Hoop Love Ya'll Show~Health, Humor, and Hooping ~ Theme Dream Big with Che Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla

 

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show

Health, Humor and Hooping with Che’ Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla

In This “Dream Big!” Show Episode/Topics:

‘Dream Big’–Do you have a secret, or not-so-secret goal? Let’s get busy helping you make it happen. It’s going to take planning, action and tweaking as you go beyond where your learning  curve is. Learning is a new thing and can be fun even if it’s scary and out of your comfort zone. Plus Che’s fav recommendations, too.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

3 Things to Remember to “Dream Big!”:

1. Think Big – Pick a “Big Fat Hairy Goal” / a.k.a. What’s your “B.H.A.G.”  –  Big Hairy Audacious Goal
Example: World Hoop Day Song

2. PLAN, TRY, TWEAK, REPEAT ~ Rarely do things go according to plan. By starting, you learn by doing and can course correct when challenges come up.
Example: Many months in attempting to write the World Hoop Day Song, writing but not quite getting it.

3. Che’ says (and gives her permission if you need it), “It’s O.K. to fly by the seat of your pants.” If we wait until things are perfect, it’ll never get done. Start, try, do it anyway. You’ll learn along the way.
Example: Try it anyway, even if someone says you cannot, or you can’t do it well.

Healthy Recommendations Discussion:

♦ Cannabis “juicer mulch” is great in it’s THC-a (acid, non-psychoactive) state. You can use it in smoothies, make little dessert bonbon balls by mixing with cocoa powder, coconut oil, cinnamon, etc.
♦ Orange Oil-food grade, can  be used in a diffuser with peppermint or eucalyptus essential oils  for an aromatherapy energy boost. Also can be used as a “sweet” flavor for the palete.  You can mix orange oil  in with an alcohol-free vanilla for a non-sugar way to make something taste like a “Dream-Big-Cicle.” Try with a non-dairy yogurt like coconut and some ice and blend up for that creamy, cold, delicious texture. Another”sweet” palate helpful substitutions if going “no-sugar” is cinnamon. Cinnamon also helps rev up the metabolism. So does chili powder.
♦ Ohco-Flow/Ohco-Motion– Chinese herbal blend that helps with recovery and injury healing.
♦ Calcium, especially with minerals like Magnesium, Zinc and Potassium, are very helpful after a workout to help prevent and reduce lactic acid build-up which is what makes for muscle pain and soreness.
♦ Glass/Crystal Nail File – Great for a perpetually reusable nail file that replaces the traditional disposable cardboard/sandpaper emery boards, so that you don’t have to throw them out. Eco-friendly, cost-effective and pretty!
Stainless Steel Straws (I call the iridescent one’s my Unicorn Straws”)
A travel Spork (travel food utensil)

♥ Circus Dog Cameo-Brown with some great hoop jumping ♥

♦♦♦Circus-Type Hoop Moves:

♦ Hoop Pop Up/Spring

for BEST results, use a polypro or HDPE tubing hoop. Do NOT use a cheap small, light toy store hoop or it will bend, kink, and possibly break. Do not over smoosh down for extra spring, or you could do the same damage with your more expensive hoop.

♦ Cool Circus-Like Hoop Dance Combo*

(*One of my favorites I learned from a Luna Breese workshop):
♦ 1. Hoop Toe Pick up
♦ 2. Kick Up
♦ 3. Step Through
♦ 4. Upper body Dive In and Through
♦ 5. Wedgie …to…
♦ 6. Escalator

Additional Inspiration/Quotations/Variations:

♦ “If you shoot for the stars, you might just reach the moon.” Che’s interpretation
♦ “Shoot for the stars but if you happen to miss, shoot for the moon instead.” ~ Neal Armstrong
another famous variation…
♦ “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” ~ Norman Vincent Peale

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show~Imagine with Ann Humphreys

Hoop Love Ya'll Show~Health, Humor, Hooping with Ann Humphreys, "Imagine" Theme

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show

Health, Humor and Hooping with Che’ Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla

“Imagine” Show Special Guest Ann Humphreys

This edition of the Hoop Love Ya’ll Show we have a very *special* guest Ann Humphreys of Line and Circle bringing and teaching her core foundation hoop workshop, all the way from North Carolina, USA. This is a very special show edition–filled with personal stories with Ann and Che’, a little learnin’, a lot of laughing, and of course we get hooping! You’ll learn some great master tips, so grab your hoop and In~Joy! Welcome to the circle♥
~ Hoop love ya’ll from Che’ Rippinger, your host and founder of Hip The Hoopla~Humorous Hoop Dance and Happy Health

Topics we explore:
Ann’s core hooping has a history and a beautiful journey. Her new endeavors have come through dealing with her own health issues, what she has learned, and what she does now to achieve a beautifully stunning physique–not only through her long love of hoop dancing, but also her more recent path of weight and power lifting. Learn what “brown fat” is and why being cold can be a sign of some other things. Ann also mentions she was once a smoker, and why she’s never going back to that. She actively demonstrates how being a beautiful hooper on the inside and outside, has nothing to do with age or even experience, when you use your journey to imagine your own life, path, and goals.

She leads us in some mastery lessons for new and experienced hoopers how to use your root chakra, hips, leading and following legs and arms and how to engage the heart in a beautiful flow of mesmerizing chest hooping. Funny story of how Jonathan Baxter unites many hoopers (including Ann and Che’!) from his Hoop Path Training. His “going blind” technique using a blindfold, really helps get you in tune with your movement and soulful relation to your hoop. Ann also humors Che’ by showing a couple of coin and jawbreaker moves she’s working on, courtesy of fellow hooper Dizzy Dynamic.

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show~Help

Hoop Love Ya'll Show~Health, Hooping and Humor ~ Help theme with Che Rippinger of Hip the Hoopla

Hoop Love Ya’ll Show

Health, Humor and Hooping with Che’ Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla

In This “Help” Show Episode/Topics:

Help–You CAN do it all yourself, or you can take a big time/effort/expense shortcut and seek help~Expert, Network & Intuitive. Plus some helpful hooping recovery techniques that can help with learning many more moves. And a little Laughter Yoga to help reduce stress and increase your happiness.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

3 Kinds of Help:

1. Expert – Someone who has spent years of studuing or has a lot more experience that you do can b-line your learning time by a lot. TIP: make sure they are reputable~just because someone is a “professional,” does not mean that they are good at what they do (it just means they take in money for it).
Example: I do a complimentary Hoop Consultation, which can save you a great deal of time and money, since I’ve already spent a lot of both of those learning what I could give you the “Cliff Notes” for!
2. Network ~ Your family, friends and colleagues can be an excellent resource for things you may need help in, anything from getting a new product to more major life dilemmas.
Example: When my mom had cancer and finally did ask for help, her family, friends and employees all stepped up in amazing ways with all kinds of recommendations, time and effort to make her journey a little easier and a lot less lonely and scary.
3. Intuitive ~ Tap into the internal messages that the combo of your brain and heart are telling you…AKA your “Gut Reaction.” If you don’t know, pick one and see how it sits with you. You’ll find if you really tune in, you will know. Also pay attention to signs and symbols–these may be your angels networking to get you some intuitive “hits.”
Example: Angel “hits” when deciding what to do…tap in and listen, because they are conspiring for you, if you let them.

♦♦♦3 Very Helpful Recovery Hooping Tips and Techniques:

Besides learning and practice, these three recovery techniques will be the successful foundation for most all further hoop dance growth and experience, especially for on-body hooping.  (All demonstrated and taught on the video)
♦ 1. Speed Up
♦ 2. Duck In
♦ 3. Turn WITH the hoop rotation

Additional Inspiration/Quotations:

♦ “I get by with a little help from my friends” ~ John Lennon
♦ “Never let your ego get in the way of asking for help when in desperate need. We have all been helped at a point in our lives.” ~ Edmond Mbiaka
♦ My T-shirt motivation for the day: Sparkly heart (tap into your heart) with wings (listen to your angels!)
♦ “Do you want to learn this the easy way, or the long way?! Your choice.”~Che’ Rippinger, Chief Hooping Officer at Hip The Hoopla

Che Rippinger Interviewed on 103.5 The Fox Radio

Che’ Rippinger Interviewed on 103.5 The Fox for Hooping Idol 7

Famed D.J. Uncle Nasty of 103.5 The Fox radio station in Denver, Colorado got in a quick radio interview bumper right before voting closed for Hooping Idol 7 Goth Week. Che Rippinger is one of the 15 current participants, down from the original 21 talented hoop dancers selected from around the world for the international hula hoop dance competition.

Hooping Idol kind of like American Idol. But instead of singing a killer song, the contestants have to select music, coordinate talent, costumes and whatever’s needed, plus shoot, edit, and upload, the highest quality hoop dance music video possible, all according to a theme…in less than 4 days!! No Pressure, there.

Ms. Rippinger was so happy to get the call, and try to speak as concisely and quickly as possible for the short radio bumper. Uncle Nasty and the staff at The Fox, as it’s known in Denver, got the interview up on air, and also posted to their Facebook page–in less than a 1/2 hour–which is super speedy in media time.

Here’s the Short Radio Interview:

Che Rippinger in Hooping Idol 7!

Che Rippinger of Hip The Hoopla accepted into the 21 Hooping Idol 7 Contestants

Representing Denver, Colorado and the Fabulous Over 40 Hoop Community, I’m very excited, and extremely honored to be a part of the worldwide talent pool who threw their hats in the mix to take part. It’s a life-changing and personally meaningful goal for me to make it in. Let’s see how far I can go in this global competition that is one of the highlights of our hooping communities year!

I will need viewer votes, aka lots of friends, family and colleagues casting ballots on Hooping.org to continue on in the competition. Tune in on Monday 4/17 to view my work and cast your vote.

The first theme is “70’s Week” and we all have just 4 days to create a video that showcases our dance, personality, hooping and a good story. As for who makes it to the next round, 60% is viewer/voter determined, and 40% is decided by 4 amazing internationally known professional hooper judges. 6 talented beings will be cut on the very first round! Like many competitions, there are many factors that determine success. One is how relatable and personable we are to our audience. So it’s not just technical hoop skills alone, that will determine the ultimate winner. Everyone has their own source of brilliance that make them unique.

Thank you for following me on this journey. Please enjoy the following 3 short videos:
1. My “Casting Call” audition video

2. Finding out that I made it in!

3. A little bit on voting for Hooping Idol 7 on Hooping.org.

Hoop Love, Ya’ll!
~Che’ Rippinger, Founder of Hip The Hoopla
