Emancipator - Ares (Big Gigantic Remix)
Songs of the Week is coming back!
I’m currently mini hooping to this bad boy right now!
Admins Note: Sorry man, we all had to go through it. Soon it shall pass, soon.
Anon: “My son was very depressed that no one in his class wanted to play hula hoops with him. So I decided to pick up a hoop and learn with him. We hoop at the park together now and I’ve never seen him happier!”
Creeps while Hooping
I hoop in a large field, by a side street. So from time to time, drivers, runners and random other passersby will notice me. Usually they continue on their merry way, but other times, they will pull into my area and just watch.
Keep in mind, they are about a quarter mile from me, depending on where I’m hooping. They are at least a good distance from me even if it isn’t the full quarter mile. But, it is still unnerving to have someone (usually male) sitting in their car and watching you from a distance. Especially disturbing when they stare for more than a short tap on the brakes and actually park their car to watch.
My reaction:
- Pretend to fidget with ipod in an attempt to “stop the show” so they will continue their journey
- Stop hooping altogether and wait for them to leave to continue, this lets them know they are being creepy
- If they don’t leave, or I begin to feel threatened, I leave.
That is the order of my reactions based on how creepy/threatening the person or the situation is.
Safe hooping: Always hoop in public areas if you are by yourself. Places with traffic so that something is less likely to happen. Don’t hoop at night by yourself. Carry a whistle with you just in case.
Due to the influx of submissions to my inbox involving “creepers” and “unwanted attention” I am reblogging this to here.
ALWAYS HOOP WITH A BUDDY IF YOU CAN HOOPERS!

Hey Hoopers!
No I have not abandoned this blog.
I’ve been working 35+ hour weeks at work and school starts back up in a few days.
Bare with me please.
Your regularly scheduled Hooper Problems/Perks will return to being posted every other day starting Wedn.
This has been your H.P.S.A.
On a side note,
we’ve almost hit 900+ followers.
Holy crap.
WHO ARE ALL YOU HOOPERS AND WHY ARENT WE FRIENDS IN REAL LIFE?!
