Chico Johnson: Do The Hula Hoop
February 6, 2012 in Male, Sounds, Videos
It’s time for a hula hoop flashback and this time we’re spinning our way all the way back to 1984. Not the year you were expecting? Well, that’s when World Champion hula hooper Chico Johnson released his single “Do The Hula Hoop”, which is of primary interest in that it might be the only song about hula hooping by a hula hooper himself. William K. “Chico” Johnson held the world record for the most hoops spun from a dead start at one time during the early 1980′s as well. An American hula hooper, his music was oddly enough only released on MCA Records in Europe. “Do The Hula Hoop” had a flip side called “Running Around in Circles” and except for another 7″ record entitled “Miss Thing”, which we’d love to hear, this was the extent of his musical career. Watch the video below and thanks to Troo Hoops for pointing it out. Read the rest of this entry →

Men in Hoopie Awards History
January 27, 2012 in Features, Hooposophy, Male
[Hooping.org columnist Lara Eastburn takes a closer look at male hoopers and The Hoopie Awards.]
Just this week, Hooping.org and the hooping community at large celebrated its 5th year of honoring our own with The 2012 Hoopie Awards. And I’ve personally followed every single year with anticipation. It goes without saying that a lot has changed over the years as well. This year, I had the feeling that there were more male nominees than ever before. Since you know I like to have the data to back up my instincts, I dusted off a calculator, rolled up my sleeves, and got down to some serious number-crunching. The men did show up in record numbers amongst the nominees this year. Let’s take a closer look. And I’ve got more masculine-inspired numbers and fun facts for you, too. Read the rest of this entry →
