In 2007, we participated in a street festival in South Phoenix on Rosier St. We just rolled the hoops out. Rolled the balls out. Let the community play. We had kids, teenagers, and adults. Like at any park in the country, they hooped in shorts, sweats, and jeans! This wasn't an Open Run with invited hoopers. This was: give the neighborhood access to the hoops, and see what happens. This image captures the magic that happened, and a moment that was talked about long after.
