I will be validating the votes for the awards, but I think it is OK for me to encourage you to go over to Hooping.org and vote for your favorite videos, hoop events and hoopers in the 2012 Hoopie Awards.
I’m pleased to see Tokyo represented twice in the nominations. In the Solo Video of the Year category, Roon Roon’s Hooping in Tunisia video is up for an award. It features Roon Roon’s fluid sustained spinning and if you haven’t seen it yet, have a look:

And Tokyo, Japan is nominated for Hoop Community of the Year. That’s you! Us! I’m very happy for this recognition , especially when we consider all the amazing things we did together in 2011.

You have only until Thursday, January 19th to cast your votes in all categories, so don’t wait too long to decide who to vote for – whether it’s our Japan-based nominees or any of the other amazing hoopers who are in the running.
