Brecken Hooping, November 2008

[surfsxupx3]

I honestly don't think she knows how many people are inspired by her, I have a group of friends who hoop and they talk about you at parties and stuff with huge groups of people and our parents and some people will be like "yeah she's incredible I know her" it's amazing. Keep it up girl you're incredible

[brecken77]

@surfsxupx3  such an amazing note to read. thank you for writing it. ...trippy. ...and awesome. ...pretty heart-warming, actually. i feel really lucky. thanks so much.

[AlternativeRobbie]

Will you marry me? :)

[TelepathicPebble]

you have the most unique style. I've never seen someone hoop with your grace and technique ! 

[ravercidknee5]

god i've watched your videos like a hundred times and i just love them. you are so flowing and smooth with everything you do, its beautiful. i always watch them then get inspired and then go in the other room and practice isolations next to the mirror for a long time, haha!

[darylsherish]

what size hoop do you use?

[music4fusion]

Amazing!!

[punkrocker490]

That is crazyyy. You jump like it's nothing, I fall on my face when I try that LMAO

[PBrandy23]

Brecken, you are such an inspiration! I have never seen anyone hoop the way you do. Watching you hoop is completely breath taking and makes me want to hoop more than what I do now!! I wish I could go to a hoop gathering with you and Anah :( Hopefully someday!!! I'll keep praying lol.. What kind of hoop do you have and what size it? I have a hoop, but it's a beginners and I know I have advanced to the point where I need a good professional hoop now. Please help me?! ~*Lots of luv*~

[brecken77]

@PBrandy23 awe... hi. thanks : ) i'm sure you'll meet up with both me and anah one of these days. my hoop's waist height and 1/2 inch, 100 psi tubing. tubing's hard to find, i haven't tried in years. hardware stores work, though and someone near you must know. ask around. hoop city's a good resource for finding local hoopers. good luck! ; )

[AndreaMorrisFilms]

Were you a dancer before you started hooping? You seem to have Twyla Tharpish choreography instincts to go along with your hooping skills. Broadway baby! ;p

[DeadwoodSD1876]

I thought I was the only one to hoop in my jammies. I love this video.

[hooptomyloo]

Yeah. Dude. I'm probably gonna have to blog about this. I can't stop watching your videos.

[circlestream]

damn, that jump thru squat isopop is amazing girl!!!

[eonsmom]

Awesome Hooping. So fluid and controlled. Beautiful <3

[brecken77]

hey. oh yea, symbiosis. that was cool. ...bout 5 years by now. i think 3 when this video was made. 4 by symbiosis.

[thejaredmasonshow]

you are amazing! what thickness is the hoop you use???

[brecken77]

thanks : ) 1/2" 100psi

[zptramel]

we should hoop dance you and I.

hooping is EVERYTHING to me, and i can tell you love it too.

and what size is that hoop

[brecken77]

hey! yea, i guess we should then. mine's a 1/2" 100 psi.

go to any gatherings or festivals?

[zptramel]

@brecken77 i want go to festivals, the only problem is i live in oklahoma and NO ONE here hoops. :(

also, i cant hoop on my ankles (i can get to my calves and everywhere else on my body except ankles) how do u do that?

o and whats the name of your hoop? i named mine Hope, cause one time i was hella drunk and i asked some one "where's my Hope" (meant to say hoop) and the name stuck!

[MTTMAC01]

Hi There,

I love your skills. Thanks for sharing.

[EvocativeOx]

that is one of the most beautifully intense set of movements i've had the pleasure to witness. thank you for sharing you lovely creature *grin* I want a hoop now!!!

[ryannlynch]

Brecken, you're one of a kind. Movement jumps out of you and flows into that hoop as if it were you're third arm. You are the Isadora Duncan of hooping. If you don't know who she is, type her name in google.

[dubstepfrenzy]

The first time I watched you hoop was the video of you at Symbiosis, and I have been totally captivated by your style ever since. I'm still a relatively new hooper (it's been about three months) and every time I'm struggling or need inspiration for something new to try I watch a video of you! You are amazing, keep doing your thang...PLEASE!

[fyers89]

amazing amazing fabulous crazy amaziing!!

[Lunallena677]

My god girl, I have been hooping for years and I have never!! you are amazing! Such an inspiration! how long have you been hooping? Is everything self tought? What size of hoop do you use? mine either feel too light or are too big.. Any tips? thankyou so much for sharing your beautiful self and talents. Much love and light to you.

[brecken77]

hey. sorry i didn't reply sooner. thanks for writing. i'm so bad with the internet sometimes. it's like a nice little surprise to read this though ...been hooping like 5 years, almost. self- taught. it'd been 3 years when i shot this video. ...too light or too big... hmm... lots of tape might help. idk.. i guess i hope to see you at a hoop gathering or workshop i hope. thanks for the wonderful comment. : )

[christinabrittian]

you are the biggest inspiration in my life of hooping. thank you for being so radically you and rocking out so hard.

[GoodVibes331]

brecken, you're so creative and inspiring! i love that you can encorporate isolations into your moves so well! keep it up girl :)

[comixboy]

thats one of the best hooping performances I've ever seen. You have total flow!

[jigglojuggler]

yo you are fun i would love to jam with you girl...

[Azambercan]

You are my favorite hooper too. I want to know what kinda of hoop that is. where did you get it?

[CharlisseAngel]

You are my favorite hooper

[luluperuse]

Wow!  You really epitomize being "one with the hoop." You are an extension of the hoop and the hoop is of you--more so than anyone else I have seen

[hilanndotcom]

hot shit damn youre amazing.

[RighteousLioness]

JAH-geous!!!!

[iriealaskan]

wow. a bunch of stuff i now want to learn. thank you.

[ladylambhulla]

brecken gosh this was beautiful...im just speechless right now you were busting out combos left and right. i have no clue where to start when i look at this . thanks for inspiration.

[Beanlicious09]

OMG awesome...your the hooper I want to be. Complete wonderfullness :). I talk to myself 24/7...good to know I'm not the only one. Your my new inspiration.

[NaoPooKa]

definitly one of my favorite, very inspirating!!! great moves , nearly contempory dance ones, well matching with hoop moves....

thanks for this video, I'll keep watching for new ones

[mutantsong]

craziness. sheer craziness.

[iszusz]

i just love your movements. so maddening, so unsettling, so fresh. you' re like a crazy dancing demon.

[lavinder5]

Just had to watch this one again. Still one of my favorite videos of all time. Just soaking it in.

[lnelson9826]

Wicked Powerful!

[dhoopla]

Wow, I never seen anyone hoop like that... you are amazing...

[HoopsyHolly]

damn girl, you got mad skill! how long have you been hooping? and not to sound like a weirdo, but I think you have the cutest booty I've ever seen (in pj's) :)

[ShpongledHoops]

hahaha! oh my god, you are absolutely mind boggling! I laugh in disbelief of your skill level..I feel like saying you're an inspiration would be an understatement ...

You're an awakening to the capabilities of the human body.

[brecken77]

whaa? dude, ive seen your videos. you'll be so far past this withing the year. ...if that's the direction you want to go. personally, you dancing is more engaging than these tricks, i'd say. both elements are good though. idk, try some combos. it's hard not to allow them to disrupt dance flow though.

[womby28]

You're so awesome and beautiful. Did you have dance training before you started hooping? Do you remember how you were feeling when you made this video? Love your vids. Thanks.

[brecken77]

no dance training. that'd be convenient though. and yes, i remember i was intimidated by the camera and then though: i might be watching this in the future and it might be great. and now is the only time i can experience that time i'll be watch; it's more important than the product. I think that's why i posted this.

[jdobrydnia]

Christ Brecken!!! Could you possibly be any cooler??? Those moves are to die for!

[corduroycoat]

Wow, you are totally bad ass. You so own that hoop. I'm glad you didn't add music, it really made me focus on your energy, which was great!

[playasnowflake]

I agree with Beth.

[ichirobbend]

someone just told me about u at a jam last night, and i am so glad that they did! i love your style and flow. hope to hoop with u sometime.

[tigergreene]

Brilliant! It's been a long time since I've seen a hooper that actually excites me. Your style is fresh, creative, spontaneous, schitzophrenic, and smooth as silk. Your dedication to the craft shows in the dance, really inspiring.

[humgroove]

Wow. Amazing.

[ladyzengray]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful wild dance.

[lavinder5]

Fuckin' sick, sick, sick. I think this is one of my favorite hooping videos of all time. Captures it all, the rawness and heavy breathing, and did I mention the sick moves?

[brecken77]

oh bethy. mwah!

[deidamie]

I love your isolations (there are one of my hardest problems...) and I really love the explosion of power in your hopping! I wish I could to a little bit of this...

And: I know your cogitations at 2:15 :o)

More videos please!!!

[deidamie]

I mean "could do"...silly german...

[chinacatamy]

girl you are like a cat! so f'in quick and agile and i never know what to expect next. a *total* inspiration.

[fairyhooper]

Brecken your style, control and skill are a wonder to behold!!!

[Groovinmegzz]

um totally totally awesome. Thanks for sharing. your grace is inspiring!!

[intensityvball]

Great expession, great control, excellent lighting!

[jlbaxter]

ehh... it's O....K... i mean, if you're into really sick moves and grace and speed, then I guess this would work for people like that.

[brecken77]

oh jeeze, i have to apologize to you for apparently accidentally marking your comment as "spam" which definitely wasn't by any means at all. i'm sorry, and thank you x 1000 for sending me the opposite of spam

[Candyann22]

You have some funky moves and you are really good with the isolations. I really like your style.

[SusanWilkinson]

Wow! You really have some skills here. You must be a HoopPather? The style is quite distinct and you have absorbed and made it your own.

I'm very glad I found this. Now I can watch out for more of your work.

What a way to start your day, pyjamas and a hoop.

[DorianAlu]

Great, Breck!

Mom

[hmcrosby37]

Hands down, one of my favorite hoopers of all time.

[hushpuppymix2]

Girl, you are S I C K! You should post this on Hooping Videos...LOVE your ninja-tornado POWER! Also totally loving your jump-throughs--so quick & fluid--and all your arm & hand articulations--adds so much visual richness. Missing you!

[FiveofDave]

Beautiful. The suspension, reversal, and flow of the hoop in space is mesmerizing. Thanks so much for sharing.

[laylaanne]

i'm totally inspired too. your oneness with the hoop is beautiful. i love the dance you do to your own inner rythm without music. thankyou for sharing. much love x

[aljones6]

Wow. I am inspired. I can certainly learn from you!
