Losing my mind! Philo Hagen posted my video on the main page at hooping.org! check it out!
SaFire Clipstar Video

Hooping Community - Hoop City
This is the video I'm most well known for. The video has taken on a life of it's own and travelled all over the world. It was banned from YouTube in January 2009 due to a copyright complain by WMG. It will hopefully find a permanent home here where WMG cannot complain.
*Clipstar News* My video can no longer be in the contest since I don't have rights to the music. So, no story of "girl wins million dollars hula hooping." Man that would have made a sweet title for an article.

Reflection made on February 13th, 2010
"You know what the most amazing thing is. The final contest never happened and the million dollar prize was never awarded. It makes me shutter to think about what it might be like if the contest had gone through and I ended up winning a million dollars.
Imagine it for a second. This was BEFORE Hoop City. If I had won a million dollars on the first of January, TWO WEEKS before creating Hoop City........... who knows what would have happened? I would have used the money to go travelling and gotten distracted and likely never would have discovered a way to make Hoop City a reality. It makes me nauseous just thinking about it. Thank God I didn't win that money. There's no way it would have compared to this.
We are so blessed in life without seeing it. The universe has quite the sense of humour and uses a sick way of unfolding things in ways that make us feel defeated or that we've lost something when in reality our "loss" is really a catalyst to something greater."

I stumbled upon this video on You Tube (not original music) and was "HOOPED". I am 54 years old and haven't picked up a hula hoop since 1965. Man! It sure has come a LONG way! I have a 10 year old granddaughter who was born on my birthday and I showed her this video. She's excited because she and I are now going to do this together. I want the fitness benefit and she has dreams of becoming as good as a lot of the hoopers on HoopCity. I'm glad to have this chance to help her focus on goals and achievements instead of the alternative of negative choices. I'm can sew so she is going to have some cute clothes! She is the Love of My Life! Thanks SaFire!

Safire,
This was the video that inspired me the most. And still does. I watched it all the frickin time and I'm sure all my friends and coworkers were sick of me making them watch it with me. But I can't tell you how much you've inspired me.
I wish you had won, and gotten the liberation money can offer, but I would never have expected an online community - hoopcity - to give me so much! I have met up with wonderful hoopers in the area, we have exchanged information/inspiration and it's been ... I dont have words for it. It really is shaping my life. Hooping is not just the movement, but the community.
I'm sad you didn't win, mostly because I wish I had that type of financial stability to be as liberated - travel - etc... but you can do that, regardless. You not w
So, essentially, thank you for everything you've offered. I think you're amazing (duh).
Steph!
