September 1st. 2009 was when Nicky B and J-Boogie first picked up a hoop. To celebrate one year in the circle we decided to have some fun on the local campus. These clips are from August and September 1st.
We wouldn't have stuck with hooping this long if it weren't for the loving and accepting hoop community, our friends and family.
A big thank you to our wonderfully supportive fiances who have been hit with numerous hoops (accidentally of course), carried the hoops when our arms were sore, and helped us paint walls to cover up the marks. No one believes in us like you two do and from the bottom of our hearts...we love you.

a way out of the hoop

Posted by Swizzy Ape 2 Comments

I'm stuck in a loop with the hula hoop. When I was a little girl I was abused in every which way. Often I was grounded to my bedroom, with two bathroom visits and a dinner release.

But I had to dance, so from a young age I would take a few preventable beatings so I could dance in my bedroom.
