How one woman uses a hoola hoop on a snowboard for kicks, giggles and therapy.
It’s been a crazy world week filled with global madness and many struggling to let today’s terror news sink in. For some it almost feels too frivolous to talk about, let alone go, skiing and snowboarding.
So I took myself, a pair of skis and my iPhone to Aspen’s Ajax Mountain today hoping to blow out some cobwebs and inhale some purity in the air. What I found was Betty Hoops, one crazy assed chick with a hoola hoop round her waist snowboarding down the mountain.
I did what any journalist would do, I chased her down, pulled out the only recording device I had and chatted to her on the chairlift.
It’s a rough edit, I was travelling without ‘my crew’, but it’s fun and we all need some fun in our life. Besides, it is snowboarding with a hoola hoop, a hoola hoop people! I mean, who does that?
Enjoy.
Did I mention that Betty also hoola hoops while running half marathons? She’s in the Guinness Book of World Records for that one. You can check her out at www.bettyhoops.com
