you seriously need to braoden your trick horizon... you do one trick for 5 minutes, its horribly boring, if you think youre good you need to shoot yourself inthe face

What a beautiful video! Thank you, Kent, you rock!

Alright, Kent!  Fantastic precision throughout. Whew! I love those tossed reversals. Man, that's mean stuff. ;)

WHA? I love this. Very inventive and extremely skilled movements.

I love those mini tosses you do around 1:35. I would love to see you with a little PSI hoop. Those hand movements are crazy fast and the glow hoop would be killer.

Ah, thanks! That'll inspire me to post more updates. I've been working a lot on symmetry by using a metronome. Lots of interesting breaking patterns that change whether the break happens every beat, every 2nd 3rd or 4th beat.

And yeah, I'll have to get a hold of a PSI hoop and hope it doesn't cause me a seizure ;)

And I'm getting a lot more consistent too.

I've also gotta say that using a rubber taped hoop helps with speed because it actually bends & gives more.

Got internet acess briefly for a few hours while I wait for patiently for mine :-) It could take a month. I'm liking this stuff, its mad skillz :-)

wow! this is extremely impressive!!!

Thanks Groovinmegzz! I'll have to post some of the metronome exercise that I've been using to build up to this. And I find hooping to a metronome doesn't want to make me dance as much, and it becomes a purely technical exercise -- and one with much more flow when blindfolded. I love how much mirroring of the rhythm that you get with these mini hoops.

And... we're moving to the Alberta Arts area in PDX mid-March and so I'm looking forward to meeting all of the PDX hoopers and going to NWHG. :)
