  2. Hurling Hoops

    Share Share Post
    When I want to play hurling hoops, first I get a bicycle wheel, and a piece of stick. I take the wheel in my left hand, and the stick in my right hand, pressing the stick between the two rims of the wheel, and then I start to run keeping the stick steadily in my hand, only when going down a bray, I put the stick on top of the wheel that is the brake.
