video of the day


This weekend I was privileged enough to meet Deanne of HoopLovers.com at Hoop Camp 2008. Here she is with the other Tokyo Hoop Stars enticing everyone in Japan to join the love revolution.

trick of the week


This week's hoop trick is a foot interception that comes to us from Crissy Gugler of Santa Clara, California. She notes, "Corby calls this the 'Beckham Catch', which I think sounds pretty nifty."

track of the week

thievery corporation: mandala

This week's hoop track is from the new release by Thievery Corporation and it's called "Mandala" from the new album "Radio Retaliation." Merriam-Webster defines "Mandala" as "a Hindu or Buddhist graphic symbol of the universe ; specifically : a circle enclosing a square with a deity on each side that is used chiefly as an aid to meditation." Featuring the stylings of Anoushka Shankar, I can't help but think they wrote this specifically for us to hoop to. Check it out in our Hoop Sounds listening station up top, and listen to and download the other tracks from the new album on iTunes by clicking:

BurningMan Hooping Video


Thanks to our friends at Hulatopia, I was able to bring a Video Camera to Burning Man this year and I made another Hooping Video. Check out this years hoop hapenings in Windows Media Player here!


(warning, its a huge file — 37mb — only watch if you are on a high speed connection). Also if anyone wants a hard copy of this I can burn CDs just send me an email

Bravo!!
excellent video.
Congratulations to everyone who was involved. Could we get the credits roll please.

Nice!! Thanks so much for posting this! I love how the hoop knocks into the camera at the end.

Holy s*!t that is fantasic...still dreaming of the playa. Hope to learn hoopin this year and take it to the playa in 2005

that is ab fab!! wow.. everyone looks so good.. all the moves are inspiring me to go hoop!

excuse me, but I must post again.

This video was the hot conversation topic amongst Vancouver hoopers last weekend with many of us viewing multiple (wow!) times.

Makes me think that Christabel's idea of a "national hoop challenge" might start right here on this message board.

The video posted by the LA hoopers was awesome. Stephan's video, also is excellent.

So, I'm thinking, we need to see a video production from the Bay Area Hoopers next.

(come on Jason .... pull the strings)

Vancouver is watching closely and we thank you for the inspiration. We are not quite up for our video production just yet, tho' we're up for the challenge in the long run.

Next up ... BAH video (??)
Bring it on!

p.s. I'm talking "hooping" here .... NO fire required.

mmmmmmmm...MM! finally finally finally got to view it. great job, stefan. it's beautiful.

wow - that was AMAZING! it actually made me really sad though.... cuz i took my hoops but never really found any other hoopers :( where the hell was everybody, and how did i miss them????

that said, i can't WAIT for next year!!!!!

fantastic stefan! i kept meaning to watch it at work cause my mac wasn't handling it well and since i was a little bored today i finally did it. wow. soooooo good!! thx

I'd love to view the video but alas, I do not have a high speed connection. Any chance I could get a CD and/or a floppy (if it fits on one) of the video and any other hooping vids your willing to share? My computer sometimes operates CD-Roms, but other times can't read them so I'd like to have both floppy and CD if possible. Thank you!!!!

Well I'd still like the CDRom anyway...I'll find a way to play it. Any chance I could get a copy?
