This is a lot of fun and very cheap.

Here is a 20ft hula hoop with a 30 foot hoop.... it hurts my tummy.

Materials:

Plastic electrical conduit. 

It is 10 feet long and has a flare at one end that makes it a connector. (Also - I want this sweet pvc cutter)
Best luck with 2 pieces of 3/4" 

3 pieces did not stay together but could be glued with PVC cement (the 2 part stuff that smells terrible)

A regular size hoop can be made with a 1/2" piece.

The conduit costs a dollar or two per piece.  It is extremely rugged stuff.
