If Jim Hendrickson made hooping videos he’d easily be a hooping household name by now, but he doesn’t. On our list of greatest hoopers most people have never heard of for awhile now, we’re delighted that Choi Tse managed to capture him on camera. It’s a rare treat and here he is tearing it up – with a fire hoop no less – on Khao San Road in Bangkok, Thailand. He lives in San Rafael, California, USA.
