  • can you break down the backward under-arm pinch. i know i'm missing something obvious here as far as which arm does the pinch in order to reverse it to the back...

  • If you are reversing backward with the pinch, you pinch with the arm opposite to the direction of your hooping current.  So if you are hooping to the left, use your right arm and vice versa. Good luck, ~Gary

  • Hey Gary,

    Great tutorial, and thanks for consolidating all of these techniques right before I dive into more chest hooping.

    I'm curious, did you find all of these variations from watching others, or did some of them emerge after your own iterations?

  • Hey Ken, As mutantsong notes, most of what I'm showing is nothing new to Hoop Path folks. Of course, I've never actually studied with them, so all the stuff I demonstrate in my tutorials comes from some combination of watching videos and playing with variations on what I've seen. So it's not all mine or all theirs entirely.

  • Great tutorial! A very coherent and straightforward showcase of all the different variations of chest reversals I was looking for! Thanks so much and thanks for the inspiration. :)

  • Fantastic! So many options! Thanks for sharing :)

  • Great tutorial thanks

  • thank you! love all the different types combined in one tutorial

  • ...And then....a few minutes with your "Paddling" tutorial (and a slightly heavier hoop!), and it all begins to come! I love the way the onion keeps opening and sharing its layers.... And this is a case where, for me, my lightest-weight hoop is NOT my friend - I need a bit more mass to keep it going while I learn how to guide it smoothly.

  • Bit by bit, I'm starting to get these. It would help if I could manage the "paddling" with the hand that reaches across my body to do it (R hand if I'm hooping "to the L")...

  • Ooooh wow thank you for sharing this tutorial, I have watched so many on reversals, stall and paddling but this one really just made it happen, I can do it now! Thank you :)

  • ahh you make it look so easy!! thx for the tutorial cant wait to get it :D

  • Thanx for this great tutorial, it's very helpfull! You are a supercool hooper and a great teacher!
