For those of you who house hoops in your vehicles during these sweltering summer days, I recommend removing the hoops if they are going to be in there for any extended period of time. This last week in DC, as temperatures soared into the three digits, about 10 of the 40 hoops I had in my backseat morphed from circular shapes into things more closely resembling teardrops! If you must keep hoops in hot spots, try at the least to keep the connection points out of the direct sun, and hopefully your hoops will maintain their circular cool.
