Urban Hula Hooping

Thursday afternoon I walked out of an especially frustrating math class but my day brightened when I came across a guy leaping from rock to rock and shimmying out a mad hula...camera action was necessary.

Traverse City senior Ryan Mertaugh launches off a sculpture in front of Anspach while maintaining a steady hula Thursday afternoon. "The idea is to find any stationary object and hula off of it," says Mertaugh, who wants to start a new trend called 'urban hula hooping.'

This is the kind of sport I can get into.
