During my first visit to Burning Man back in 2000, I ran into a theme camp full of folks hooping with adult size hula hoops. I'd been hooping for years with the hula hoop my grandfather first made for me when I was 11. I absolutely loved it. The hoops they were using looked like the same material
my grandfather used...just bigger. I spoke with a few folks and at that time, there were only a few places that carried hoops and unfortunately, I didn't have that kind of money at the time. After building a few custom hoops of my own, I found I wasn't the only one not willing or able to shell out $40 to get a hoop in my hands. We began building custom adult hula hoops for the masses and the rest is history!
