-Well since I am a complete noob (only recently started hooping three days ago!), I've been able to learn the tuck/chase weaves, the buzzsaw, thread the needle, and flowers. I'm really trying to perfect my thread the needle, because it feels like the most "advanced" move I know so far.

 

-I'm currently working on reels, transitions, and the 3 beat weave. I'm also hell bent on getting my flow better, because at the moment I will do a trick - stop - do another trick - stop. It's not so pretty to constantly be stopping in between moves!

 

-The 3 beat weave. I can do the movements with each hand individually with the surface switches, but I can't seem to put it all together. I also just can't seem to get the concept of reels! It's crazy how simple it seems it should be, but it definitely isn't working out for me.

 

-Haven't gotten that far yet! I want to perfect the few simple tricks I have learned so far before I move on to anything else.

 

-I don't think I made it up on my own, although I thought I did when I first did it--basically I do a 3 beat weave motion into a buzzsaw, rotate twice, split-time it, then go back out to regular hand spins. If that makes sense. Once I get my LEDs I'll post a video, because it just doesn't look as cool with regular hoops!

 

I've been keeping a journal updating everything about my experience as a hooper. If you're interested in reading these chronicles of a noobie, go ahead and check it out!
