Your flowing hair in the wind remind me of Beth. Beautiful song and beautiful hooping. Thank you for sharing.

[alaskanamy]

Much gratitude for your kind thoughts, Rich! I'm pleasantly surprised to be reminded of Beth....if only I had her lovely locks (and sensational hooping skills, while I'm dreaming!) ;-)

The wind and the song and you go together so beautiful

Thanks for your comment! I was feeling happy & inspired this day, like the music, so maybe that's why! :-)

[gleeknet]

amy, you are awesome! i have no idea how you do this and not fall over from dizziness :)

[alaskanamy]

Hahaha! I am lucky I generally don't follow over, I just love spinnin'! Although I do tend to stumble a lot if I don't spin the opposite way too! Anyway, thanks!

[alaskanamy]

Whooops! FALL over, that is. Sometimes my brain gets dizzy I guess, sheesh!

[swirlywhirlygirl]

Beautiful Amy! I love it!

[alaskanamy]

Thanks so much, swirlywhirlygirl!  By the way, I love your name! :-)

[swirlywhirlygirl]

Thanks! That trick at 1:27, where the hoop goes behind your back and around your body, how do you do that? I have seen it a number of times in videos and can't quite seem to grasp how it is done. It looks so simple and easy, but whenever I try it it stops dead, getting stuck on my shoulders. Is there a hint you can give or something to focus on while I'm trying it?

[alaskanamy]

I've got broad shoulders so I ran into the same problem! Think about pushing the shoulders down as the hoop is passing over them, it's a matter of getting the feel for the timing. Make sure the hoop is rotating around you on an even vertical plane. Also think about rotating the hoop higher on your neck, with equal pressure there and where the bottom of the hoop hits your leg. Hope that helps! :-)

[swirlywhirlygirl]

Thanks! I'll give it a try!
