Should Hoops be Free?

$40 is a lot for a pre-made hoop, especially if you’re tight on cash.

Many people believe that hoops should be free, in order to spread the hoop love far and wide. In an ideal world maybe they could be. Philo Hagen of hooping.org examines why truly free hoops are impossible, and why the cost of a hoop may not be quite as much as it seems, in this article.
