The hooping started in Egypt 3,000 years ago, with participants using grapevines and grasses. Later, in England sticks were used. It transformed to plastic in the 1950s. Now you can get the normal everyday hula-hoop at Wal-Mart or customize your own. It's now an undying fad. Someone will always want to hula-hoop.
It's true. I can hula-hoop. At first, this was not something I really would broadcast to everyone, but now I don't care as much. It's just something I can do without much practice.

I always wished I could hoop but it's just not in the cards for me. I'm jealous!

Ryan- YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE STUD. (and, that's all I have to say about that.)
