In no particular order we have assembled some of the greatest male hoopers you should definitely know about!
Drum roll please… Let’s begin!

Baxter Hula Hooper

1. Jonathan Livingston Baxter

Ever heard of paddles and breaks? Woo! These moves became really well-known after Baxter started carving it up a few years ago. This male hooper is a must-know for anyone wanting to understand the recent history and development of hula hoop tech. He popularised practices like blindfolded hooping and falling deeply into flow and contact with the hoop. Find him at the Hoop Path and on Facebook and Instagram. Photo credit: Hoop Path

2. Steve Bags

An inimitable humour and penchant for loopy hoopiness, if you’ve ever taken a workshop with the great Steve Bags, or “Bags”, you’d know about the depth of knowledge this male hooper has for all things hoop.
