Collapsing Travel Hoops

Care must be taken when collapsing and opening the travel hoop ! When fully open, your hoop is securely held together with a silver button. Use only your finger tip or finger nail to depress the button...

To Open:
With the button upper most and one foot holding both coils on the floor, press down on the ‘button’ pipe so it is more horizontal. Then slowly and carefully pull the pipe apart. The pipe might spring back a little so be aware and pull the hoop into a big hoopy shape. (See the video on Travel Hoop Page)

To Collapse:
We recommend collapsing only those hoops with a vinyl and cloth binding.
(The metallic tapes on fancy bound hoops will crease over time when the hoop is curled )
Press the button down whilst holding the middle of the hoop firmly on the floor with your foot.
 Re-coil both ends, whilst holding the hoop on the floor with your foot.
When they have passed half way turn the hoop upside down and using your foot to hold both hoop coils, again pull up both ends until they meet crossing over one coil. Then re-join the pipe again remember horizontal helps.
Hoops with clear inner pipe: pop the button in when curled, but for white inner pipe the collapsed hoop will be ok with the hoop pipe just pushed UP to the button.

Make sure the HoopSok™ is on and tied away from the join or use the HoopHat or Raps !

LED hoops in 19 or 25mm.
These hoops are ideal for curling down to travel,
Always store all LEDs in a big round and collapse down for the least time possible.

POLY PRO hoops curl down too . LEDs do have a popper button to open and bound polys can be made with them. To keep your hoop in it's best circularity keep large, if you need to curl it then fine, try not to re-attach, the inner pipe can weaken easily, Poly pro pipe is just so strong !!
Just tape it together in 2 unjoined circles.
But please do not fully curl any poly hoop for a long time,

These hoops when collapsed are not recommended for children to play with.
Always store in a big round…not collapsed.
