I love my hoops as much as I love poi and staff and I noticed there was a few other hooping hoppers out there. So I thought HOP needed a hooping thread for us to chat about tricks and share our love for hoops. ubblove
I have been hooping for quite awhile now and have mastered quite a few tricks but I still havn't figured how to flick it up off the ground and move it up my legs. I can get it from my knees up but I saw this chic at the a circus and she had the hoops all on the ground and was bringing them up her legs one by one. It looked awesome.
I've got an idea of what I gotta do but havn't quite got it. I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on this?
Thanks

Happy Hooping! ubbrollsmile

I picked up a hoop in guildford yesterday...

Matrix and frontside matrix with a hoop feels really nice biggrin I can't do that spin it round your waist stuff but got some nice flowing steping through the hoop with turns using contact staff moves... I think you can jesus a hoop too... now to make myself one biggrin

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

mmm, hoops smile no one in york really does them, thats all i know, my brightly coloured hoop is the only one that ever shows up. its funny watching people play with it tho smile I'm getting better very very slowly, I can actually do it round my chest a bit sometimes now smile and it doesn't fall down very much either... of course, wouldn't you know it, my boy is such a natural at it, but I'm enjoying my learning curve anyway. I still can't get the hang of getting it up from my waist to... anywhere, but I am doing better at getting it down from my arms to my hips biggrin

I thought you wrote "New York" and was about smack you since there are hooping workshops all over The Big Apple.

I guess I'll have to find other reasons.

heh, there are always reasons! biggrin

i should really treck up to edinburgh some time when both meg and molly are around and get myself sorted with some new stuff to work on, but that would involve getting organised about something not related to my degree....

did anyone here about the hoop movie thats supposed to be coming out? its all going really really man stream what with virgin gyms promoting it as well as heart FM. I am not sure if its a good or a bad thing but there are certificates now that you can get to teach hooping!!!! and the courses are lots of money. see the trailer for the movie on here

Ok so I tried the whole nekkid hooping thing- my hoop was so cold it didn't even get all the way around before I shrieked and threw it down!

I think I need to find some sticky clothes.

oooh, world hooping day. and what a fun date! (well, minus it being the two year anniversery of a london bombing, but, outside of england it shouldn't be much noticed...)

i'm still trying to figure out how to move the hoop from my hips to over my head. i've even been shown in person, but i don't seem to understand... :/ anyone have any suggestions?

YAY! That's my good friend Annie!

I'm so happy that her message officially made it around the world.

PLUS it's the date that Molly and I are getting married and we've promised Annie that we'd hoop a little hoop for world hoop day!

You can find more info about world hoop day on her tribe site

Go ANNIE!

Hellooo missie Eveish. Did you use 25mm or 19mm?

Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?
