I do it!  Well two pots!  :-) 

 

Come down from the corkscrew and open up so the hoops are in the horz plane next to each other in front of you and stir!  hehe

 

From there you can also play with tilting the plans up to vert to transition.  Sometimes I come down from vertical, too.

How about stirring the pot with both hoops on one hand spinning out of sync.  I've been trying that.

Well, Pam, when you master it, I guess you have another idea for a tutorial!  ;) I struggle with spinning both hoops on one hand in any plane.  It goes okay for a few seconds and then one continues to spin nicely, and the other just flops around.  Any kind of tutorial you could come up with for mastering the "two hoops spinning on one hand" would be great!

I guess so, but I think it's going to take time for this one.  The hoops are horizontal to the ground and so close to the ground, they just want to keep hugging the ground.  Of course, it's nothing I'm doing wrong, except dropping the hoops.  LOL   "Two hoops spinning on one hand"   Sounds good.  You've got it.  Look for it in March.

Hey Shelley, I've been playing around with this 'helicopter' effect with suggestions from Pam (thank you!) and am finding success with another technique of one hoop dropped down to my wrist while another is in my palm. Takes practice with one hoop on wrist/forearm to get control, but easy enough once its starts working its magic. Kudos to Trish of Sirenhoops for this tip.

Great discussion idea Shelley.  It's fun to see what everyone else is working on.

Before I got sick, I was crazy into my mini's. I love to walk up and down my driveway spinning them forward, back, up over my head, to the side, behind me and doing some breaks and reversals. Now I am starting back with them again. It has been almost 2 months and I am just a little wonky and dropping them,,but I am going to get that mini fever and be a spinning fool again very soon!! I am working on the 3bw, I have the process,,just cant put it together yet.
