I just want you to know this video helps in an way I can not explain. I am older and have only been hooping a few months its good to know im not the only one that has trouble getting to the quiet zone. thank you for sharing. Amazing by the way!!!
@waterbaby4life thanks for writing this. you are definitely NOT the only one who gets stuck in her head. that's my M. O. , for reals. i'm sure a TON of people can relate. keep going! xo
"if i get this it's going to be so fucking awesome" haha i laughed at that, and the move was awesome!! oh i'm coming to your hoop workshop in edinburgh on saturday =D
No really you inspire me so much! I just discovered hooping about a month ago and am totally hooked. I made a yt playlist of how to hooping vids and people who inspire me with the intention of further spamming my friends and trying to get their asses off their couches in the hoop and you are peppered throughout that list.
haha love seeing this again! I like the part when you say "I wonder what i can do with this thing" and now your hoop flow has evolved into the most original style iv ever seen!
duuuude....the hooping is amazing! your flavaa is unique and un-stoppable!! but i'm laughing my AZZZ off with the convo and the cut outs!!!!! you always make me laugh! this is my new favorite Brecken vid ~ you rock!
This is awesome - I love the inner conversations with the change to personal viewpoints! It makes a great story from what would otherwise be just another hooping video. And the on-the-shoulders front + back is an awesome move - I've been struggling with that myself and can only get it on my back so far, so I recognize that inner dialogue - it feels like the script is coming straight from my head.
LOL... love the inner dialogue... Yes frustration is part of the creative process as is perseverance. Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did. ~Newt Gingrich
Cheers to you Brecken and thank you for sharing insight to your creative process.
I love this video. I have even made my hubby watch it a few times. At first I was wondering wtf was going on... but then as the video progressed I completely identified with you!! You are amazing to watch. =)
every single hooper will be able to relate to this. your amazing! and when your trying a new move that is that exact thought process i have. like "wait no, eeeeekkk, ok, breath and here it comes, BAM!, drop hoop. oops" thank you so much for this.
Now this is surreal! I will have to watch again and again to understand the editing process. Ha, loved the I'm hungry" part. When I 'm hooping i always have to go to work and say only 2 more songs. I can totally relate to the inner voice.
I love this. I especially love how your inner dialogue was not just one voice, but layers of niggling voices saying different, sometimes contrasting things. It's amazing how much we talk ourselves in or out of something without even realizing it consciously. It's also really nice to know that a hooper of your caliber still has the same thoughts during practice as I do when I feel like I'll never get the hang of a trick...
hi! cant wait till its warm and im watching you do this again in real life. sorry i lost you at all-good last summer. i wanted to hang out with you more... maybe next summer.
Your style touches a part of me that knows there is more to hooping than just spinning the hoop and performing tricks. I like when someone opens their heart and expresses themselves. Thank you!
oh man, thanks for that...yay! ...yea, i feel like the process of developing concentration and openness to new movements is the real challenge. Everything else is just time and muscle memory. ...and they have their place too, but it always seems best when tricks are more like intersections on a map that you try to develop enough roadways to eventually forget about. and that's...hard.
So awesome, I absolutely love it! You are totally badass, my very favorite hooper of all time! Keep up the great moves, great dancing, great flow, and please keep posting these vids.
what!? whoo. thanks, man. that's a crazy compliment. i never know whether or not to respond to people, otherwise i'll end up writing to everyone, but to that i had to. thanks.
absolutely genius! hilarious, inspiring, insightful and just generally badass. Glad to meet you, even if only for a few moments. Hope to jam more serious/playful -ly in the future.
this is f*$%king awesome! thank you for sharing such a personal hooping experience with us. opening up the ego for the world to see is no easy task. you are a bold woman. keep rocking on!!!
Hey Brecken, something special and sneaky tricky catches my eye around 53-55 seconds in. What the heck? It goes so fast! I think you got it on the diagonal on your neck, and possibly ducked out your head & shoulder, and hooped a rotation on your back?!!! I have watched it over and over and it eludes me each time! Beautiful dancing as well, by the way.
wow, i love the trippy soundtrack with the whispers comming from yer head and all... it reminded me of watching you at all-good while i was shrooming. i hope yer there this year. smilin joe
thanks! this was in october, so just under 2 years at that point. but then i was only familiar with that particular hoop and nothing but, so i had a pretty good feel for it. since, i've been going a LOT smaller and it's almost like being forced to develop an entirely new style. baby steps i guess. thanks for the support
You are beautiful and I love the way you hoop. I think that forward shoulder move is sweet... :) The inner dialogue is so right...I'm going to hoop right now...Thanks sweetie.
this is how I sound not just hooping but writing, dancing, most of all drawing and painting... so true, so inspirational. thank's a lot, brecken!
