SaFire's video makes me tear up every time :) I watch it often to keep up my motivation.

I love the hell out of that video. I think my fellow hooper said it best "It's good when the hoop falls or hits you, it means you're pushing yourself." Love the process. I've only been hooping a month or so myself, but have gotten pretty confident in knee hooping backrolls, off the body manipulations, and the vortex. I am just trying to really establish my flow and rhythm. I practice everyday even when I'm not noticing :) <3 Hooping!

i am still working on the vortex. i am trying so hard to get it to flow right. that's the hardest part! i am trying to find my personal rhythm still too. and i totally know what you mean when you say you practice without even noticing---i find myself doing the motions without my hoop all the time!

I do that too! My mum even laughed at me a little bit for wiggling around in the kitchen without a hoop :P

I'm working on the 3 beat weave and flow, i plan on taking modern dance classes to work on my flow. I have rhythm but my movements are not fluid.

Hey Guys!  Bumping this thread for responses...someone below mentioned about chest hooping.  I tried it for the first time and it was pretty much a disaster.  I am endowed in that area but I don't want to allow that to be my excuse.  I have the hoopnotica dvd level 2 that gives a demonstration but sometimes you guys can say just the right thing that will click in my head/body and give me the 'ah ha' moment.  So share away tips and or share a video link...Thanks!
