Hoopaholic of the Month - August

Name: Becky Walker

Time hooping: Just over one year

How did you get into hooping? I saw a girl hooping in the park one day, she must have had a big ol slow hoop and man did she make hoopin look like a beautiful slow dance. And I thought I want to get me some of that... So here I am, trying to get me some of that!!!!!!!!!!

How does hooping enhance your life? Apart from hooping being a great work out, It makes me have a good old laugh at myself and gives others a laugh too and that's what it's all about._Hooping enhances my life by giving me heaps of deadly moves to impress my friends with or try to more like.

First hooping memory: My first hooping memories are PE lessons with those old cane hoops and playing horseys with my mates (horse inside the hoop and rider holding the reigns) Yeehaa!!!

Favourite hoop moves: I am quite a fan of Bird Arms. I love the way that Infinity looks. I love all the moves really.

Signature moves: II am pretty good at flinging my hoops across the room and taking someone out, fat lip and sore nose is another one of my signature moves. I am quite fond of the 'ooops sorry' move too. And must admit that I am a bit of a bird arms girl at heart.

Hoop heroes: My Hoop hero would have to be Miss Hoopstar of course. Apart from being the el supremo hooper she has an unlimited supply of faith and positivity for her hooplings.. That girl in the park mentioned earlier is pretty high up there in the hero stakes. Anyone who makes the straight jacket/shimmy and the larrissa look styly deserves some hero worship too.

Hoop dreams and ambitions: One of my great hoop ambitions is to be shown how to do a trick and then being able to do it off the get go. I am more of a slow and steady wins the race kind of girl. Peace, Love and Hoopiness would be kinda cool too.
