I can't do the "bunny ear pass" I attempted it once or twice, failed miserably and just never really got the hang of it. Maybe I'll attempt to try it again someday.

I skipped learning verticals for MONTHS.  I've been hooping for a year now and still haven't mastered them.  The hoop is usually uneven...I need to get on that, ha!

 AND I also just realized how more effective jumps are when jumping with the right leg...

Never bothered to learn the vertical step through either.

wow I guess I should have just read this discussion...I just made a discussion on this haha I've been really struggling with leg hooping.  I've put it off for a year because I have horrible balance and I was learning at the pace I wanted to.  But I really wish I forced myself to stick with it more because I'm not where I want to be with my leg hooping.  I feel like if I understand it, it'll add more freedom to my hooping.  I'm gunna start practicing every day.

caroleena's youtube channel has a fantastic leg hooping tutorial, i struggled for months with leg hooping i just couldnt get it, but after watching her turtorial a few times i got it. She does more thn just show you she goes really int depth in explaining two methods of leg hooping: front to back hooper and side to hooper. For some reason once i undrstood the dffernce that makes in leg hooping it clicked after some practice lol!

Arsyn (YouTube.com/user/seer5) also has a great leg hooping tutorial. I think his is actually called advanced leg hooping, but he explained something in it that really helped me get it (using both legs to push rather than just one).

Um. Reverse current. I can waist hoop in the opposite direction, and I can elbow hoop in both directions on both arms, but I've barely attempted to go the other way anywhere else. Which I hear can give you pretty bad hoopers hip after a while. I know I should work on it but I haven't much...

I resisted learning the escalator for a long time. I ended up signing up for a class where I was required to learn it for a routine. I am 2+ years in and still can't chest hoop with arms out in my reverse current. I finally half got reverse current shoulder hooping and gave it up. I never practiced either one when I was learning it in my dominant direction and I think that made it that much harder to get later so I gave up. I need to do something about that though.

The escalator was one of the first things I learned, because everything else seemed to complicated...but then I moved on to other moves, and now I struggle with it!  Angled hooping still confuses me, I can't get it at all on my waist and only in one direction on my shoulders...I have a problem with only being able to do some moves in one direction, but the direction isn't consistent.  Some moves I have to do hooping to the left, and others only work hooping to the right.

Reverse current and I put off kick ups for so long... I can do them now but I still avoid them a lot. Will be utilizing them more for multi-hoop performances though. Chest and back rolls... aren't smooth, all the way across the arms type things either. And reverse escalator.

Chest and back rolls are the things I skipped. It seems like such an easy move, but I just can't perfect it. Any suggestions?

Like most things it is all in the direction of how you spin your hoop. (I'm still learning this trick)  Spin it towards you and look to where the hoop is going to be rather than at your release were the key things that I was taught to do.  Right now, the hoop kind of bounces but I'm told it will get smoother as I do the trick more and more.
