An Anniversary of Sorts
Acknowledging an anniversary of sorts, although Hooping.org's birthday isn't until next month, it was this very day a year ago the decision was made to not only keep Hooping.org online and alive, but to hopefully take it to a whole new level. With co-founders Ariel and Vera having moved onto bigger and better things, I remember that it wasn't an easy decision. But now, 365 days and 734 Hooping.org postings later (more than in our first four years combined), I have no regrets. Thank you to everyone who has supported Hooping.org this past year, from our advertisers to our contributors, to those who have sent in videos and photographs and letters, to each and every one of you who shows up here every day - thus making doing this so worth while. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It has truly been a year to remember. - Philo Hagen, Editor

Just a comment to say thank you to YOU. You really do a phenomenal job on the site... and I appreciate your journalism as well. Keep up the great work! It's wonderful to have a place to send students for endless resources to support their practice. Happy Anniversary!!
Gratefully,

Philo,
I daily enjoy your site and thank you for it! Also it was a genuine pleasure to hoop with you at Cellspace in February. Can't wait to visit SF again.
Much appreciation and congratulations,

When I became interested in hooping a few years ago I had no idea where to begin, so I googled 'hula hoop' and hooping.org came up. This website was - and continues to be - the premier beacon for anyone interested in hooping. I am grateful to the originators of this site and truly appreciate all of the work that you continue to do on behalf of the hooping community.
