Can you get out of it while diagonal hooping on your chest? Because you can shimmy it up from the waist to chest and stay vertical or shimmy during a barrel roll. Either that, or you can do a lift off from the waist like you would while horizontal hooping, but instead it's diagonal and comes out in front to vertical hand hooping. Or a vertical vortex which would accomplish the same thing, just going back and forth with it first before lifting it completely off.

A one- or two-handed stop with your hands placed close to your body on either side of your hips, catching the hoop as it comes across your back. From there you can stand, take the hoop off in a variety of ways, pose, etc.

seems like you just need a little more practice to turn it horizontal again, and ditto to all the above about the first part just watch the hand placement of the vv

I usually corkscrew/lift-up out of it. (Sort of like vertical vortex.) I grab the hoop from my back and corkscrew it off my body.
