it’s been how long now since i started hooping? let’s check flickr… ok, i got my hoop on march 5 so that means i’ve been hooping for less than 3 months now. this weekend was the first time that i got more than 2 days in a row to go outside and hoop on grass and not worry about breaking anything.
here’s a video of my 3 days work condensed into a 5 min music video (i love imovie!) music is “my girls” by animal collective which i listened to a lot on my trusty shuffle.

Dood! That thing around 1:13 where you’re hand hooping vertically and you stick your head in and somehow turn around and end up with it on your shoulder…!? Incredible!

You’ve got some serious hooping skills. I can’t believe that it’s only been less than 3 months!

sadness. The video is obviously working for other people, but all I see is a still image of you with a hoop and the music being all strangely jerky-staccato.
The hooping sounds so interesting and fun (in a very different way than my running is) that I was really hoping to see it. Maybe I’ll try on a different computer a bit later.

You changed me from a lurker to a commenter. That video is inspiring. My husband accused me of becoming a Phish Head for buying a hoop.
