Hooping on a dock over Lake Tahoe in January of 2008. I'd envisioned myself doing an amazing routine in an awesome setting using all of my new tricks. Instead, I struggled with intense altitude sickness and fear of dropping the hoop (or myself) in the icy water. I'd only been hooping for three months at this point.

I didn't like this video at all when we first shot it, but now that my hooping practice has progressed (new videos coming soon!), I can see how learning how to relax my upper body and play with arm motions has made all the difference in my flow.

Thanks!
