This sounds like a blast!  I have flags and streamers.  The streamers might be a bit too complicated because they're so long, but the flags could work. Or maybe I'll bust out my purple hat and play with it...

I love to juggle while I hoop, it is so much fun!  I am just starting to play around with some hat manipulation and it is really great to hoop with as well.

this is wonderful.. so i spun poi before i hooped.. then my passion for hooping over took the spot of poi, while i was at my first burn i decided if i had loved them both so much i should try to put them together, well i did i spun my poi at a shorter length over my face while i did the barrel roll while in the facing up possition... it was an amazing and accomplishing feeling... i do ha ve a picture that i would love to show when i have the right computer near me to do so.. once again this is a pretty neat-o challenge i hope many of you find your own "ah" or satisfaction when doing this :) ♥

ah.. i found it~ this was right before i bend back a little bit into part of the barrel roll.. i also wanted to add that personally its always fun to step out of the box and play with anything from hats to different body movements or double hoops ♥ eat a bowl of cereal while hoooping.. its all fun

I just gave this a quick try, and I've been meaning to try this for a while: hooping while playing the zils, as in the bellydancing finger cymbals!

 

It was tricky trying to incorporate bellydancing moves/steps while hooping and playing the zils, because just waist hooping and playing the zils seems a bit like, "Why bother?" But I'll work on a combo and see if I can make more seamless transitions.  If anything, it'll just be fun to explore!  I'll maybe post a video of my accomplishments!

I've been playing with this one with my purple hat, but I haven't managed to get a lot on video I deem post worthy yet.  I may just string together the highlights and post a little something before we get too much farther into April.

I've been playing with fire fans while hooping. It's crazy! I've only burned with them both once and my big challenge right now is finding a good transition for adding the fans. I thought I was soooo clever, swooping down and picking them up while waste hooping. Then it was like! Oh no! I have to stop hooping to LIGHT THEM. Fun stuff!

If you can do a kickstart and shimmy the hoop up from your ankles, maybe you can start with the fans and step into the hoop, kick it up and go from there.  I can't do any of that - the kickstart or the fire fans - so I'm just throwing the idea out there totally ignorant of whether or not it will work. ;)

I don't have my kick-start down yet. What a slacker! ;-)

Lol - I can't point fingers, since I've never even tried one. ;-)
