KC, you should've picked one up when you were working Bonnaroo!

They're so popular at the outdoor concerts - but the only place I've ever seen them for sale is from the itinerant vendors at said concerts. Keep thinking I'll buy one and learn to use it...

I'd get one of the take-down ones, that come in four pieces.

I never did hula hoop as a kid, but I'm hearing echoes of my jump rope ability. I'm lucky to jump for a minute, now. When we were kids we jumped all through recess! But then, we took half-jumps, where adult jumping is "hot pepper."

Anyway, with practice I'm sure you can do it.
