Over the last few months something incredible has been happening on Hoop City. It began on September 7th when David posted a forum discussion called "A Hoop-Flow Challenge". His request? To challenge ourselves to hoop dance for the entire song of Ava Maria. His topic was met with curiosity and excitement as several hoopers posted videos of their experience. As the month passed and we moved into October a new challenge was posted by Low County Hooper called Look Ma no Hands! and again the discussion on the topic went on for pages and pages. By the time Sense Sublimity posted the November Hoop Challenge is because obvious that Hoop City members were onto something big.
This topic of Flow and the drive for growth in our hooping practice is exactly what we need in this community and in our lives. The Hoop City Monthly Challenges have been launched and now have their very own forum category where future challenges will be posted.

Why the word "Challenge?" These challenges are not a challenge between each other, they are challenges with yourself and the hoop. They are challenges to overcome walls and boundaries of your hooping practice and they will help you grow as a hooper. Sense Sublimity said it best when she said, "They aren't about competing against each other with the best tricks or moves. They are about having fun and expanding your own horizons within hooping!"
A Collaborative ProjectHow it Works: Every month a new hooper will post a forum discussion in the Hooping Flow Challenges forum category. That hooper will select the next person that will create the next month's hooping flow challenge. Be sure to pick someone early in the month so they have lots of time to think up a new challenge before the beginning of the month. When it becomes your time to create the challenge try to post it early in the month and take a quick glance at the previous challenges to try and avoid repeated topics. Please use a descriptive and simple topic name so the challenges are easy to browse through.
Hoopers of all skill levels can utilize these ideas to help grow and expand their practice. This is an amazing project that will be a great resource to hoopers in the future. Feel free to participate in previous challenges regardless of how long ago it was posted. Every activity will be a valuable catalyst for growth. Challenge yourself to experience the Hoop City Hooping Flow Challenge!
