I just made my first batch of hoop videos, and it was so cool to see what I looked like from the outside from the first time. I know I'm hooked already. I'm always thinking of cool stuff I want to do or scenery I would like to have in my video. I also feel you on the "documenting tricks" aspect. There are a few combos and things that I do that I'm really proud of creating or something (even if they've been done before, I still feel creative accomplishment if I put something together and I've never seen it anywhere else before) I think the landmark aspect of making videos will be awesome as well. Since I am a fairly new hooper, I know it will be so cool to look back on videos I'm making now in a year or two years. I have a few pictures from early hoop times and I'm like "wow... making that first hoop was such a huge deal for me, and now I make them all the time and don't photograph them from every angle imagineable" I think back to pictures (I think they're on my profile here) where I was wearing a yellow baggy tshirt and big jeans, definitely not the best hoopie clothes, and I think I could waist hoop and do a halo and that was about it. So much has changed and evolved since the hoop came in, the way I look, the way I move, the things I do, flow changes. I only wished I had made videos earlier even if I DID only know how to waist and hand hoop. The pictures are great, but videos really document. Even mirrors aren't the same because its all to fast and you're IN the move. Awesome topic , thanks for posting :)

I totally agree with this...I posted my first video about 2 months ago and in the past week I've posted 2. :) I love to watch them and to correct myself as I watch. For example I realized that I lift my arm up when i would drop the hoop back down I would lift my arm first I've now learned to keep my arm at my side when I drop it back down
