I have been trying to figure this one out too! IT looks so wonderful and interesting, but I can't seem to get my hands to pull it off. Good luck on figuring it out!

I call the single hoop version of that, The Rising Sun.

When two hoops are held together like that it's called Infinity hooping.

Practice this with one hoop. The move is created by joining a pass behind the hips and a pass behind the head. Link the two together and you've got The Rising Sun.

et me reply to a reply! Thanks safire; I managed to get the infinity rising sun last night. I can't get the other one, where it's on the vertical plane in front and they both drop down and cross each other before coming back up into her hands. It's at the 2:44 - 2:50 mark in the video I posted.

Honestly, I haven't played around with that move much, so I can't say. It's super cool though!

I think I figured it out last night! I have to put my forefinger between the hoops before dropping them and then re-grip with the other fingers. So hard to explain in text but I'll try to do a video showing how horrible I am at this, LOL :-)
