Hula Hoop
style of the hooper.
Heavier, larger hoops are more often used for
slow hooping and body tricks while lighter,
thinner tubing is used for quick hand tricks.
These hoops may be covered in a fabric or
plastic tape to ease the amount of work in
keeping a hoop twirling around the dancer, and
can be very colorful.
World records
An early duration record for the hula hoop was
set by 11-year-olds Paulette Robinson, Charles
Beard and Patsy Jo Grigby in Jackson,
Mississippi lasting 11 hours and 34 minutes
(August, 1960).
The record for the most hoops twirled
simultaneously is 132.
The largest hoop successfully twirled was 13.88
meters in circumference, by Ashrita Furman of
the United States in September, 2005.
