Big A$$ List of S**t To Practice
IDEAS FOR WHAT TO PRACTICE WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO PRACTICE!
Stop me if something like this has been posted somewhere before, but I searched the forums (admittedly briefly) and didn't find anything.
Okay, guys, I'm making this post for two reasons: 1) So that I can have a reference for myself if I ever feel I'm in a rut, and 2) So that we can all come together in an effort to make the MOST COMPREHENSIVE RUT-BUSTING LIST OF HOOP SKILLZ ON THE PLANET.
Help me out here. :)
The following is a list of stuff you could conceivably work into your practice. Tricks, concepts, areas of the body to focus on, techniques, ideas, etc. Scan it to get ideas when you feel stuck. It is by no means comprehensive, and will never be complete. I would like to invite you to add to it by commenting with anything you can think of, and I'll edit this post and add it to the list.

Thank you! I was hoping to go through and add video tutorials for some of the stuff that's a little less self-explanatory. :)

Is this in any sort of order? Like from the top, that's what you should work on first? Does that actually matter? I've been looking for something like this, thanks so much for posting it. Now I just need to figure out how to build a hoop dance routine.... ^.^ Thanks again!
