This is the first year I’ve been waiting by the minute for the parameters to drop. Check them out here: boxd.it/tYxXW

This year I’m collaborating with my homie Cade (@NoahDuzent) for his first Hooptober after he was sick of me talking about it every year and never finishing it. Hopefully the collab will be the added inspiration I need to 100% for the first time since Hoopober 8, and will also lead to several double-features at the theater after hours!
