video of the day


Let's take it slow, shall we? Baxter hooping at a Hoop Path class in Austin, Texas. Video by Laura Scarborough.

trick of the week



We've had requests for info on how to do a roll across your back, so this week we're revisiting an excellent tutorial by Caroleeena. She lives in Raleigh, North Carolina.



track of the week

kaskade: grandconsoul trainin: stop

Hoop music favorites Kaskade have released "The Grand (Mixed)" that kicks off with our track of the week - "Angel On My Shoulder (EDX's Belo Horizonte At Night Remix)" and has seventeen more tasty treats. It's in the listening station up top, but get your own on iTunes by clicking:

Kaskade & Tamra - The Grand (Mixed) - Angel On My Shoulder (EDX's Belo Horizonte At Night Remix)

And then we have my current favorite hooping track. I love it and it's called "Stop" by Consoul Trainin - specifically the Diego Donati Vs F&A Factor Club Mix. It's so good and it's in the listening station. Get yours on iTunes by clicking:

Consoul Trainin - Stop - Stop (Diego Donati Vs F&A Factor Intru. )

Hoop-making party in Berkeley

The Bay Area Hoopers (except for those not back from Burning Man!) gathered at Jason's house for a hoop-making party on Sunday. A splendid (and productive) time was had by all, and no one left empty-handed!

that is just wonderful! makes me long for hanging out with good folks :)

I can't see the pictures! Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Ariel! Welcome back! You can't see the thumbs or the pop-ups? Both are working for me.... Did you come to the main page or through a permalink?

jason rules!!!! :)

i love my new hoop.

That loks like so much fun!! I wish there were more hoopers in the midwest!

And those are massive rolls of tape...where'd you find them? I've only been able to find the small rolls...

I can't see the thumbnails or the photos in either Mozilla or IE, from either the main page OR the permalink. Mysterious!

Valerie: Most of the tape we used was from identi-tape.com.

Ariel: That's really strange. I can see them fine too.

hi,
where do you get the black pvc pipe? i've been to four hardware stores in SF including Home Depot stores in Colma. all i can find are the water filled ones from toys r us. please help.

thanks

A-ha, Gerard, welcome to the plight that almost every hoop-maker-to-be has been through. The piping is, um, sort of hard to get. The closest you can get it right now is Lowe's in Livermore.
