I've just been watching the BJC 2007 DVD and I spotted Beth not only attempting to do hula hoop on a unicycle (which I've done myself), but actually managing it for a short while (which I haven't). Beth, you're amazing.
ive hula'd on a uni only for a little while though, its fun to ride with a hoop in one hand and jump through it, then maneuver it over your head and jump through it again like a skipping rope(hard to do with only one hand)
Hula-hooping on unicycles was always a part of the shows we did when I was a part of the Redford Township Unicycle Club (1980-84). Usually the girls did it. Girls like the ones whose names are now Wendy Grzych, Carol Bricker and Teresa Abrahams.

A very short while indeed I think it was. The trouble is that if you get it for any longer than a couple of seconds then you seem to end up going in circles the opposite way to the hoop. I think maybe it would be easier with a circus idle, but I can't really do that.
Try hula-snakeboarding, that's far more satisfying. And I think it looks a bit less silly too.
There is a hula thing going on at the Stockton unicycle and juggling club at the moment... we have one and it is never left alone! Adam was doing it last week on a unicycle. He did look very odd though (I mean more than he does normally!). :-)

It is so kewl to have a part of unicycling's 'living history' on this site.
