video of the day


Mona, aka ShpongledHoops, is "hooping on a Schpongled Day."

trick of the week


While it takes her a few attempts, and will likely challenge most of us in making many more, here's Sharna Rose demonstrating her latest trick, an impressive combination maneuver. She says, "I know that the hoop should roll down my extended arm first.. I'll get there eventually." With some practice maybe you will too.

track of the week

eric prydz: pjanoo

This week's hoop track is by Eric Prydz and it's his new release called "Pjanoo" and it's so hooptastic we can hardly stand it. We've added the original club mix to our listening station up top - and you can check it out and listen to and download other mixes on iTunes by clicking:

Cartwheel hooping

This week, BAH started experimenting with cartwheels while hooping. Jason, always one to wiggle and stretch, started the trend by first doing hoopless carthweels. I then did some pseudo cartwheel hooping by letting go off the hoop just as I put my hands on the ground to start the cartwheel. The effect was that while I did the cartwheel, the hoop rolled alongside of me and into the distance. It was a fun trick, but one that interrupted the flow of hooping because of course the hoop was long gone by the time I was back on my feet after the cartwheel.

Jason then came up with an even better idea for carthwheel hooping. He held the hoop with the hand that touches down first, then bent down and trapped the hoop under his hand on the ground. That way the hoop stayed with him during the cartwheel and he was able to continue hooping afterwards.

Below is a picture of me doing Jason's cartwheel hoop trick, courtesy of Philo.

Side note: This is the 100th entry on hooping.org! I look forward to the next 100.
