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:

Hoops Come Full Circle

hooper Melissa Nann Burke writes for the York Daily Record, "Among the California crazes to mesmerize the nation in the late 1950s, the hula hoop hasn't lost its spin. ... Moving beyond pool decks and roller rinks, the hoops have found their way into dance studios, workout videos... YouTube is laden with wacky hooping performances. ... Web sites such as hooping.org help beginners locate hooping classes and offer step-by-step directions for making your own hoop." York Daily Record
