Hula hoopin' is back in a big way, especially in the minds of The String Cheese Incident's fans.

It was great to see this blog about hoopin'! The hoopers are always out in force at Burning Man, and they are really a great group of people who are a blast to watch and even join in with.

I thought the topic was interesting and your investigation informative, but somewhat lacking in terms of overall closure. After the pod I found myself wondering how hooping had suddenly become so popular, where people were getting their hoops from, what fans of the music who didn't hoop thought of those who did. I did enjoy the "hoop girl" character", who put a face to the eccentric movement. Speaking of "movement", however, I felt that the prevalent use of cross-cutting might have detracted from the overall value of the video, as the pod featured interviews on both the beginning and current state of hooping but didn't create a real impression of its growth over time. Perhaps this was a result of the movement having grown mostly as a niche scene before this pod was created, but a clearer progression of interviews might have helped build a sense of progress.
