Hooping Manifesto

  • The sound of hoops hitting the floor makes you smile because you're learning.
  • Find freedom in your flow.
  • Explore, expand, experience.
  • Practice makes perfect improvement.
  • We don't have to learn everything.
  • There is no "best" only different.
  • Break the rules; defy gravity.
  • Bruises are our badges.
  • Comfy clothes are a key to life.
  • Create smiles with guerrilla hooping.
  • Hooping is our meditation.

Balance - Everything we do in our lives are connected. We will give balanced energy to others and to ourselves in our work, play, body and mind.

"There is no "best", only different" - love that one
Ditto!
When I hoop in public with my friends we always get asked, "Who's the best out of you guys?" It's so weird to think about it like that, so we always just look dumbfounded and ignore the question. I'm going to use "There is no best, only different" line next time.
Wow, I've never encountered that question (though I'm sure I'd answer "Caroleeena" for our local crew)-- still it's so alien to the whole hoop perspective-- & I know I feel like a total slut when it comes to hoop crushes... my obsession changes from moment to moment, so vive la difference!!!
Geez-way to make everyone feel awkward. People ask stupid questions sometimes. As a for instance, when I had my snakebites (dual lip piercings) people would always ask questions like, "How do you kiss your boyfriend," or "Does that hurt?" I was oftentimes tempted to say "Yes, I'm in perpetual pain."

But yeah I definitely like the sentiment that we are all different and there's no rank from worst to best. I find comparisons to be discouraging and fully embrace the idea that we're all unique and therefore so are our hooping styles. I try to take inspiration from hoopers who have been doing so longer rather than feel like I'm not as good.
I love this video. It is wonderful and very inspirational.
Love the whole video. Thanks again, SaFire!
I love it. Thumbs up. One of my favorite videos to share with non-hoopers and they always love it.
I love this video! All the things it says are very true and the video is well done. Thank you for sharing it. ^.^

Watching my hoop idol mess up and drop the hoop, drop the hoop, drop the hoop, like I do. This was a very inspiring video, thank you SaFire.
