[JoWay]

What kind of hoop do you use??

[townshiphooper]

you are by far offering the best tutorial videos on line, just recently drove through the Rockies with my family and hooped almost everywhere I stopped , I wished I could of met you. The hoop is a magnet to meeting people, thanks for making learning so much fun.

[babzrobinson]

@townshiphooper booo! i wish you could have stopped and we could have got our hoop on!!!!

[Unholythrashh]

You are awesome chicka I love watching all your videos I totally wish we could hoop together, If you are in Indiana you should let me know!

[mamamamadeline]

You need to but a weighed hoop online or in a sports store. These hoops are not childrens hoops

[oddghostgirl]

i have a hoop, but i thik it doesnt work... i get it from toys r us... it have water inside... can i make that with my hoop?  is your hoop filled with wather? or is it empty?

[sandynavoong]

Babz, you're crazy and I love your videos. Do you have any tips on how to do the last trick in the video? I've done it before, but I have a really hard time with it. Thankss!

[babzrobinson]

@sandynavoong hmmm, at some point in the kind of near future i will make a tutorial for shoulder duck outs...... keep meaning to get around to that.

[sandynavoong]

@babzrobinson Take your time, take your time. I can do shoulder duck outs on both shoulders and both vertically and horizontally, but I can't seem to get it on both shoulders without ducking my head back in.

[callum3135]

[TiNYKITTIES]

[maddiebelfry]

Love this vid, and I love your rant! Can't believe you said you are inflexible - it doesn't look that way! Gives hope to the rest of us. I live in hope of the day that I will be touching my toes as a warm-up instead of having to warm up for an hour before I can manage it... Thanks for posting - great tutorials always :0)

[sharnarose]

I've tried to make a video response as you requested but it does not seem to have worked :-(

[sharnarose]

@sharnarose So anyhow it may come up if not Babz go to my youtube and find it cause you'll like it.

[babzrobinson]

@sharnarose yup, somehow it was in my settings that responses had to be "approved" by me first. like you'd ever need my approval sharna. you rock my world.

[babzrobinson]

@sharnarose ya i got the link in my email to your video but for some reason its not coming up.... ill double check my settings.

[flamingohouse]

BABZ!! I'm loving this! It's got me more twisted than usual! Much undead love, Jem Zombee

[babzrobinson]

@flamingohouse braiiiiiins!

[Brittanydonalyn]

your tutorials are awesome!

I can never understand the tricks right away after watching, but I notice when I'm practicing, I'll get the trick by accident but I guess with some subconscious memory of the tutorial! it's great! thanks! I'm excited for the reverse escalator tutorial!!

[linkydickson]

I love your communication style. I'm a beginner hooper and your videos are very clear and inspiring. Not sure that I'm ready for this move yet but...someday! :)

[ShadowHostage]

Learning this move is going to kill me. O.O

[babzrobinson]

@ShadowHostage it will only make you stronger!!! (and laugh)

[ShadowHostage]

@babzrobinson -laughs- That's true. I can't wait until I can nail it. Jaws are going to drop.

[GogoNvSaruh]

@ShadowHostage i had already tripped and nearly busted my face >.<

dont feel bad lol

[ShadowHostage]

@GogoNvSaruh Oh no! Are you okay? Thankfully something like that hasn't happened yet, but I keep waiting for the hoop to slip and slap me in the face breaking my nose.

[GogoNvSaruh]

@ShadowHostage i had already tripped and nearly busted my face >.<

dont feel bad lol

[BoBeena]

Groovy-Move'y! I look forward to letting my outer dork have at this one! Awesome!

"Blessed are they who laugh at themselves... for they shall never cease to be amused"

[spiderbabyspider]

and thanks for another awesome tutorial !

[seast89]

what kind of hoop is that?

[babzrobinson]

@seast89 one that i made but my guess is that it is similar to hoopnoticas "advanced hoop" its made from 1/2 inch tubing i got in the states

[Jllblais]

O.0 That was amazing.... my hoop and I bow down to your brilliance ^.~
