"Woo, update - I got the scissor switch :) Though I can't do a single reversal one, I can do the double where you go back into your first current. But its progress!"

What's your favourite hoop size and why?

I'm still trying to decide mine, so just wondering what others are liking!The more I have downsized the more restricted I feel when I do give my 36" plus a spin. Kind of makes me feel a bit sad?…

"Yes, like others have said its completely normal to not know how to flow from one thing to another in the beginning :) I would say it took me about 6 months to find a kind of flow, and that was when I practiced near enough everyday for around an…"
Studentrainingpink replied to the discussion 'What are you working on?!'
"Oooo, that would be fantastic! If you get the time I would be very grateful :)I am using the tutorial in Safire's minis class, but so far it isn't clicking... perhaps a different explanation would help it fall into place."
Studentrainingpink replied to the discussion 'What are you working on?!'
"I usually have a few goals to focus on as it keeps things more interesting and less frustrating...
1) Single scissor switch knee reversal (I finally had a lightbulb moment with this, as it had been stumping me for a while! Got the basic idea now,…"

"I am so close to getting the single knee break (scissor switch) ! This move has bugged me for a while. But I had a breakthrough!"

"This sounds awesome! You should post a progress video some day? I like reading your blogs, they are inspiring me with my own minis practice. I still haven't gotten around to using poi yet but will hopefully try soon. What size minis do you use…"

Watch Out
"Your breaks are just bad-ass ninja! Very inspiring! at 0.53 You go so fast, I am guessing you do a combination of above and below arm breaks? You look like you also break it lower down at the waist too, using both hands/arms? Man I just love it.…"
Studentrainingpink replied to the discussion 'January 2013 - Your Top Three Tricks!!' in the group Hooping Challenges
"
1) Scissor Switch Knee reversal.
2) Backwards 3 beat weave with mini hoops (and generally get confident, keep learning & flow with minis)
3) Pizza tosses... so that I actually catch the hoop *most* of the time :P"
Studentrainingpink commented on the blog post 'Mini's and Poi'
"Thanks for the suggestions :) I guess I should get myself some poi sooner rather than later, as it sounds like it will ultimately help me with the minis. I am glad to hear that poi is easier! I am looking forward to getting confident and fluid using…"
Studentrainingpink commented on the blog post 'Mini's and Poi'
"I have just started learning with my minis so this was a very interesting post to read. I am also thinking about giving poi a go too. Would you say that mini hooping is harder than poi? I am kind of hoping it is, so once I am confident with minis I…"

StudentRika replied to the discussion 'What's your favourite hoop size and why?'
"So today I tried to do a much smaller hoop size out of curiosity. It wasn't *too* small, but probably a bit under 36", but I realized something. I had *very* little room in it when I was chest hooping! I'm a 34GG,…"

"I'm loving my 34"s and and my 36"s I find i use my 34" hoops most of the time but I really love the 36 it all depends on my mood :) all my hoops right now except for one are 3/4's and I have one 34" 5/8 polypro. I…"

So much rain here (London, UK) in the past 2 and a half weeks, it's meant that proper practice has been halted :( I had a quick one yesterday and I was kind of sloppy. Sigh. In the meantime I've been trying to focus on skills I can do in my indoor space, like chest breaks and reversals. This is something, but I feel like the weather is killing my flow! I'm still pretty new to hooping so if I don't keep up my practice it feels like I 'forget' certain things. Sunshine soon, please?
