I so love watching these vids. My sister made them for me. Never meant to be posted on YouTube, they were a bday present to me. I found them so wonderful that I asked her if I could post them, and many have come to appreciate them as well.

It just makes me smile so big to watch my sister, so many miles away, being perfectly "her."

i decided to make a hoop out of 3/4in 160 psi pvc tubing. it is so much heavier than the cheap plastic and is taking me time to get used to. your videos really help! keep posting! :D

[wolfriverenterprises]

excellent! i'm happy for you. i believe, now, you'll find hooping and tricks to be a whole new world of possibilities ... and fun! (my sister is the hooper in the vid. i'll pass along your message to her.)

ack!! this is making me crazy: when i have it spinning around my arm i cant get it to stop traveling up. it gets as far as hooping around my shoulder and hitting me in the ear >_< please any help? suggestions?

[wolfriverenterprises]

perhaps the weight and size of your hoop is at cause. perhaps it's the type of tape on your hoop. my sister (the hooper in these vids) is using, approximately, a 41-inch, 160 psi, 3/4-in tubing hoop with plenty of gaffer tape.

if you need to upgrade your hoop, go to hooping dot org for a list of hoop makers. best of luck to you!

ok thank you. i am using a cheap-o one dollar hoop i found at some store when i decided i wanted to start hooping.

I tried this Jessie. It's really lots of fun. The kids at my high school class really enjoyed it. Thanks for your clear explanations. I find your videos really helpful.

[wolfriverenterprises]

Thanks. The videos are actually from my sister, who is a middle school teacher. The set of videos was a birthday present to me, and they were the foundation of what has now become a rather large hoop video collection.

ah, but "easy" and "smooth" are different goals ... the bent arm way of doing this move allows for a fluidity of movement that is quite beautiful when a hooper is able to move from arm to arm to arm to arm

[rubadubdubinthetubs]

Um....switching arms is a lot easier without bending the arms....

[evilbendy13]

yeah, but it looks cool when you bend your arms!
