This is how I've been raising the hoop above my head, I tried finding a tutorial for this method online but the only ones I have found are SaFire's and similar. So I hope I help somebody that was stuck before figure it out. =)

Sorry the audio is so quiet! Just turn up yo volume :) hehe

Happy hooping! ^_^

  • can you do this on the right side? with right hand

  • @jojoblondal - You'd have to be hooping to the right to pick it up and do this with your right hand. I hoop to the left so I use my left hand. :) But yes, it is possible.

  • You're awesome :) I just got to watch my friend run around giggling after succeeding at this trick. I myself have only been officially hoopiing for 3 days now but am fairly certainly addicted and celebrated by going to the hardware store to manufactore my own. Thank you so much for sharing your "education" with us!! Just keep spinning spinning spinning! haha

  • @jymmsom This made my day! I am so glad I could help!

  • this was so helpful...now if i can only figure out how to get it back down again...any ideas? you broke this trick down so well...maybe you can teach the second step? thanks

  • @judylcb You're the second one to request a full vortex tutorial =) I will try to make one of those soon! I hadn't thought about teaching how to put it back on your body (I kind of auto pilot now haha)

    Only advice for right now for you would be to pay attention to when the open spot is in front of you while you hoop above your head. When it's in front of you, try putting the hoop back on your body (essentially your body is now the 'anchor' like your thumb was) - I will try to get video! :)

  • Thank you SO much for uploading this! I've been really frustrated because I can't seem to get a lot of tricks & am having a hard time working on flow & continuous movement. Finding this tutorial let me learn a new trick & gave me a bit of a boost. :D

  • OMG - this is how i learned to do it too. i wanted to try and 'perfect' it by looking at tutorials, but all of them show how to pick it up from the back.. which i am having a very hard time learning. thank you for solidifying THIS method!

  • I can only do it with the aid of spinning around, but I just did it! Thanks so much for the tut! (I think I could do it without spinning if I had a larger hoop, xD )

  • Hey girl!! Love the way you explained it! Ive been trying to learn this trick for weeks now lol and my friend has a hard time explaining it to me. Ill be trying it out this afternoon ill let you know how it goes. Thanks girl xoxox Keep hoopin <3

  • thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

  • Wow this video helped a lot and made it a lot easier:3 thankyouu madam

  • ha thats so funny cuz i just realized i do the  same thing! :)

  • thank you o much for sharing this! i found this method to be much easier and faster than grabing the hoop from the back. :)
