Illusion breakdown

[Nabid1010]

I love this!!! I've been working on spinning. I was wondering.. is there a reason you sort of "wind up" in the other direction before starting the spin? Is it neccessary for momentum of can you go right into the trick without that first part?

[alaskanamy]

@Nabid1010 Thanks! :) So since I made this video, I learned you don't need to do that wind up spin to do the illusion part of the trick. I have a video called "hoop illusion variation" where you just go right into the kick...it gives enough momentum to get around so maybe if you check that out, it'll work for you. I tried adding a link to it here but it didn't work so you can go to my channel & get to it from there! happy hoopin!

SOO cool and inspiring, thanks for sharing!

[micky8701]

@olahenri, And you are immature. Grow up, please :)

[olahenri]

@micky8701 And you are GAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY! Drop dead, please :)

[micky8701]

@olahenri I am happy. Life is great and I have no reason to complain, especially since I do not have the mentality of a child.

[olahenri]

@micky8701 You have the mentality of a GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY person.

[bremoon]

hi alaskanamy i wanted to ask u a favor i always save great hooping tutorials like this one to my ipod so i can watch them while i practice in the park but for some reason i cant save this one because of the URL so i wanted to know if u would take this video off youtube and put it back on so that it would have a different URL or would u put this video on youtube twice so one of them has a different URL. If u can i would be forever greatful if u can't no problem. Thank you so much!

[alaskanamy]

Hi Bremoon,

Unfortunately, a few weeks ago I deleted the original video off my computer to make more space! There may be a way to change the URL but I don't know how...let me know if you ever learn of a way & I would be happy to do that!

[alaskanamy]

Thanks, all, for the comments!! I appreciate them. :-)

Hope the description is adequate....if not, perhaps trying the move without hoop first could help!

[totallycrunchy]

very cool trick! Can't wait to try it!

[ziggymamma]

Thank you thank you! What an awesome trick!  I will definately be trying this tonight if the rain clears!

[luvtospin]

Great job! Love your smile too!

[PeacefulChildren]

Awesome!

[Hoopernova]

Amazing, I'm DEFINITELY going to try this!

I'm probably going to end up with broken glasses from it though. XD I'm clutzy enough without trying craziness like this!

[maltesegirl123]

wow!!!!!!!!! your amazing!!! thanks 4 the tutorial!

[ForestFaerieLaughter]

wow, cool trick!

[alaskanamy]

Well, I justwanted to thank you guys for taking the time to write your thoughts about this vid...I am excited to share something somewhat new & it is very rewarding to hear a good response! THANKS.

And Hoopadelic~ I would love to take a class from you if I am ever in L.A. for sure!!! And I like that, 'hoopnastics'! :-)

[womby28]

I LOVE it!! I'm working really hard to make my sweet tricks look more like dancing and that was inspiring.

My goal this year is to take dance classes and become more of a dancer with a hoop prop than a chick that can do some hoop tricks. These groovy videos really help...

You're awesome

[IIMissswirlII]

Ouuuuuu!! Love it! Super original

[Hoopadelic]

oh sister, you are great! i LOVE this move. *thank you so much for sharing*

you are definitely a teacher and a performer - if only you were in l.a. or i were in alaska! i'd take classes in any of your sweet gymnastic style hooping (hoopnastics?). you definitely have the energy. =)

love love love

[Caroleeena]

I really wanted to learn this. Thank you for breaking it down. You did a great job.

[spin0da0rella]

Brilliant Amy, not sure if I'll ever be able to do it like you do but I'm going to have fun trying.

[SusanWilkinson]
