http://stayingcurious.blogspot.com
What skills do you have?
Hooping
What year did you start hooping? (e.g. 2003)
2010
What is your goal for 2012 and why is it important? (Doesn't have to be hoop related.)
Stay centered. Stay curious. Embrace life for the adventure that it is. Free myself from doubt. Be healthy. Be happy. Have Fun. Keep Learning.

How old are you? 23

Would you call yourself a beginner, intermediate or advanced hooper? Hmm... I would call myself a happy hooper; any labels other than that I really cannot ascribe to!

How often do you hoop? A little everyday... but that can vary from 10 minutes to 5-6 hours. On average, probably around 4-5 hours a week.

Would you say that you are obsessed with or addicted to hooping? Flat out addicted.

Do you buy hoops or make your own? Make, buy, barter....

What size is your favorite hoop? I really like small hoops, even on the body... right now I'm using a 28" 125 psi most of the time...

Are you comfortable hooping by yourself in a public place? Realized I never have --- gotta change that!

How did you learn the majority of the tricks you know today? Youtube, random experiments, asking around...

What was the first trick you learned (besides waist hooping)? Probably isolations...

What is the last trick you mastered? Mastered is a strong word.... I'm trying to improve everything I 'know' I would say ....

Have you performed hooping in front of an audience? No, but this NEEDS to happen at some point.

What’s the worst injury you’ve acquired from the hoop? Hooping with glasses has turned out to be a bold move. Gotten some pretty nasty (and attractive!) glasses-imprints on my face from bashing myself in the head...

Have you ever hooped naked? Yes, indeedy.

Have you been to a hoop camp/retreat? Which one? One day i shall...

Preconceived Notions of the Self

Posted on May 21, 2010 at 10:09am 5 Comments





Everyone always tells you that one key element of happiness is being yourself. Well, I have always fucking sucked at “being myself.”



Growing up, it was just me, my sister, and my mom. Our small family would grow on holidays to include my grandparents, Nan and Pop, and then eventually my Dad. But move beyond that – a mere 6…

 

Defining the Beginning

Posted on May 6, 2010 at 12:53pm 7 Comments

Here on Hoopcity, it seems like I am always seeing discussions and videos with titles like "2 months hooping" or "3 days until 1 year with the hoop!!" and suddenly it struck me -- I don't really know when I 'started' hooping.



This realization inspired me to retrace my steps through true hoop discovery, and also caused me to wonder if anyone else has had such an ambiguous journey.



There are, of course, some things I do know. I know that I was first introduced to hooping back…

so how goes the chase weaving??
At 9:41am on May 3, 2010, claudia hays said…
yea - this move is pretty difficult to get by video tutorial - watching some moves in 2D totally makes this disconnect in understanding what the efff their hands are doing....

so - first off - do you know the basic chase weave? in both directions?? both of these are necessary before moving on to 3, 5, infinite beat weaves...

If you know the chase in both directions, sweet! Then I just need to know if you want to learn the surface-switch method, or the thumbs method. I prefer the surface switch method as you're going to need to learn surface switching ANYWAY, so might as well practice as much as possible right?? BUT - the thumbs method is wayyyyy easier. I've found that most people do that one and totally stand by it.

sorry for the ridiculous amount of questions - I'll send you a detailed message of what to do after I hear back from ya!
