Hoop Tricks: Waist, Above Head & Back to Waist

[mimisbubbles101]

thank you for posting this video i now can do this really good with your and my sisters help

[ThePoeticAngel]

i'm afraid of doing it with hand. I don't want to hurt myself, but if I want to learn it I got to practice right? So I'll try it.

[wolfriverenterprises]

:-) Yes, try it! And trust that your body and brain will figure it out. I've bumped myself a few times (or more!) when hooping, but that's part of the process of learning. Good luck!

I still can't do it =,(

[WendyWonderland]

How much practice did it take for you to master this trick?

[wolfriverenterprises]

Hi Wendy. This is my sister in the vid, so I can't speak for her, but I learned the trick, too. Learning a trick is not often so much a matter of time as it is the body first understanding how to do it. Sometimes that can happen in just a few minutes. Once The Body knows what to do, then the grace of the move is what gets better in time. Does that make sense?

Love your instructional breakdowns. How much does your hoop weigh/ Thank you

[wolfriverenterprises]

It is 42" and made of 3/4 inch tube, 160 psi tubing. I don't know how much it weighs.

[y3llow5ub]

do you prefer larger hoops? i made my first hoop today, up to about my bellybutton, and i'm 5'.

[wolfriverenterprises]

i have more experience as a groove hooper with a bigger hoop. mine is a bit above my belly button. but brecken77 and others are rockin' the smaller hoops.

Hi! Gud Vid!

Just Lyk 2 know how heavy is your hoop??

Does it need to be heavy to do that trick or can u still use a light hoop?

[wolfriverenterprises]

A heavy, adult-size hoop makes a world of difference. A good basic hoop for most folk is 42 inches in diameter, 3/4 inch tubing made of 160 or 200 psi strength irrigation tubing. If you have access to both a heavy and a light hoop, I'd be happy to hear about your experience and success with this trick.

[0oCrazyMonkeyo0]

O Realli! Well I Have a Light Hoop - uno one of the cheap ones and its hard 2 keep up on my waist whereas my friend has a heavy thick hoop which stays spinning round the waist 4 a long time without doing much movement with her hips.

I live in london, do u know anywhere 2 get a good hoop!

Thank you very much

[dianejapa]

i've only just discovered these vids. thanks for breaking it down like that. by the end of the summer i'm going to rock. thanks so much!

[Hooper1970]

I've learned so much from you, please keep making videos.

[wolfriverenterprises]

Thanks, Hooper1970 ... these videos were a birthday present from my sister to me. (I later posted them on YouTube.) I have another birthday coming up -- every year, as a matter of fact -- so perhaps I'll get some more video presents. I'll tell her what you wrote.

I find it easier to keep my hand open, rotation focusing on the area between forefinger and thumb (think making an 'L' with your hand) rather than the "open close, open close."

[RockyYW]

Your videos are so helpful!
