The Spin Summit
Mihály Csíkszentmihályi describes the mental state of flow as “being completely involved in an
activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole being is involved, and you’re using your skills to the utmost.”

I’m really interested to see how quickly 3d printing accelerates when this and other non-hobbyist models come out and people learn how to design for them. Yay technology!

In need of a collapsible hoop to travel with you on your next voyage? Don't set sail without this hula hoop! I have used an extra-wide stripe of 1" gaffer tape to provide more grip. the red prism and shiny gray tape spiral around with white spacing.

This hoop can be made in any size for kids to adults. Ask me if you have questions about sizes. They are unweighted, but still appropriate for exercise or recreational use for any age. This "Infinity" model features two connectors to allow for the rotation to fold it down nicely and take it with you on your travels.

This hoop was designed to come with you on all your outdoor adventures. Stow it in your car for going to the beach, the park, or a music festival. You'll feel great when you use it because of the blue and yellow criss-cross grip tape (the yellow glows under a blacklight, too!) Underneath is white, yellow, and green vinyl tape.

The hoop pictured is 38" in diameter, but I can build you one in any size! These hoops are made for adults. They are heavier in weight than toy hoops, but still appropriate for exercise or recreational use for all ages.
