My intro....

When did you first start hooping? about a month ago

What kind of songs do you listen to while hooping? usually dubstep - Typically start with a little Mimosa..

What is your favorite song right now? favorite "song"... at the moment, believe it or not its probably MGMT Electric Feel - makes me so happy.

Do you buy hoops or make your own? I buy em.... for now.

Have you lost weight since starting to hoop? Not yet - I havent been doing it too long.

What size is your favorite hoop? No idea lol - the bigger one of the two at the moment. Easier to learn on. Hurts a little more when it smacks me in the head though lol ;)

How did you learn the majority of the tricks you know today? youtube

Who is your favorite hoop teacher? I dont currently have one...

What was the first trick you learned (besides waist hooping)? I am learning the lasso right now, and VERY excited about it!

What is the last trick you mastered? I can jump thru a hoop! haha

What trick so far was the hardest for you to learn? the lasso is the first trick I have tried to learn, so Ill go with that one..

Which one are you finding is almost impossible to get? The Vortex... I just cant seem to grasp it yet... That and hooping around my shoulders and chest.

How many hoopers would you say live in your town/city? No idea... I am sure a lot.

Have you performed hooping in front of an audience? not specifically no. We went to Bowness Park last weekend, which was a lot of fun.

Shoulder hooping..

Posted on July 5, 2010 at 11:31am 2 Comments

I have finally grasped the shimmy and shoulder hooping, however, I find that when I am shoulder hooping (I hoop to the right) the hoop always finds its way up to my neck on my left hand side, pretty much no matter what I do. When I raise my shoulder a bit to keep it on my shoulder rather than having it move up to my neck, the entire hoop drops down. I have watched a bunch of tutorials and such, but this seems to be the one thing I am still having problems with.

Also, I cant seem to…

 

over and out...

Posted on June 29, 2010 at 8:05am 0 Comments

In the last 4 days I have; helped consume 14 kegs, got thrown around, played derby and had my ankle and knee completely messed - taking me out of the next game which would have been my last game in Calgary, submitted my very first resignation letter to work, got sunburnt, laughed, cried, saw Iron Maiden, lost my phone, found my phone, hooped my tush off and took some video of a passed out dude getting hit in the face with a blow up whale.... *blank stare*.

I need a…

 

Finally learned the Vortex!!

Posted on June 23, 2010 at 8:17am 7 Comments

I didnt think I was going to pick this up for quite some time. I actually just kinda stumbled onto it! It took me a sec to realize I had it going. I definitely need more momentum when doing it, but I am getting there!

Its a good thing we have a huge mirror in the living room otherwise I maaay not have realized what was actually going on. haha

How do you all spin around with it without getting dizzy - just practice?

Grrr. Where does the time go!?

Posted on June 15, 2010 at 8:04am 4 Comments

So I thought practice was 6-8 last night, but it was 8-10. Which is great because I hate having to deal with rush hr traffic trying to get there on time. So I went home, made dinner for my bf and I - sat down for a few minutes and look up and it was already 740 - where did the time go?! I ran outside for only about 5 minutes of hooping.

:(

Now its raining all week and the spare room is full of stuff.. grr. I would almost just like to get rid of my couch/futon so I have more…

Good! :) How is everything going with you?

I was putting too much pressure on my shoulder trying to start my vortex directly behind my back. So I noticed if I shifted my grasp more towards my right hip (I'm right-handed) it was easier that way. Try playing w/ different hand placement behind you. Maybe when my shoulders get more flexible I can grab it from all the way behind.

Not bad, I have been teaching my 9yr old cousin how to hoop, and I will be taking them skating later this week. How are you?

My vortex has always been a little wonky, but last night I finally figured it out. Congrats to you!

Terminal City is a great league! I hope you make it!

Things are great! I've been hooping for a year, and skating for much longer! My mom skated for the Minnesota Roller Girls, so I got into it and started skating at 16, and now I skate for the MNRG Debu-taunts! I actually found my hoop teacher at a bout, she was doing the pre-bout entertainment.
How long have you been skating and hooping?
