    Ooh! I'd love to see a tutorial on barrel rolls or the continuous step-through thing. Cause I can do the basic step-through but I can't go back and forth like you pros. :)

    BTW, I love that you thought of this tribe.

    I would love to see a tutorial on knee hooping. I realize it might be a hard one to teach, but I can't seem to get it yet.
    There was a tutorial on YouTube somewhere, I can't find it at the moment.

    Perhaps another way to get tutorials we're looking for would be to start a thread with that in the subject.
    I'll do that for the knee thing.
    We'll see how it goes.

          I was having a hard time with my hoop just slipping off once it goes below my waist.. then I put fabric on a new hoop and it sticks (thanks Shadjua!) The other tape was vinyl, so very slippery..

          Are there any tutorials on the booty bump (I think is what it's called???)

            struggling with knee-hooping here...after a year hooping, I really want to get this down...well...it goes down alright....to the ground. Can't seem to stay away from the position where both knees go together and the hoop is flying fast...no control and no way to get it up. i try and try but protective of my knees so I don't over do it..still...help?

              I would love to see a tutorial on passing the hoop to your other hand behind your back while doing an "infinity" or criss cross (not sure what it's called). I have been trying to get this down for a while but I think seeing it before my very eyes would make all the difference.

      This video isn't the best in the world, but it gives you the basic idea of the rotation on the ball of the foot.

      The way I leg and knee hoop is a bit different... I kind of shift my weight from foot to foot on the balls of my feet as though I were taking little half steps in place.
      To bring the hoop back up, I shift from foot to foot a little bit faster, turn with the hoop and bump it up with my alternating legs.
      I'll post a video when I get home from work tonight, maybe it'll help.

          I am dying to know how to do the behind the back "swish". LIke when the hoop is spinning not around you but vertical, off the body behind you. I know its probably simple but I can't find the key to unlock it.

            I second the request for a tutorial for the "booty bump". I went to the workshop Caroleena taught yesterday...I practiced last night and again this morning. You'd think that with my booty...it wouldn't even need a *bump*...but, there you go.

    Ok: I have two requests. And these might be hard ones to break down, since the moves are pretty advanced. But I would absolutely LOVE to learn both of these...

    The first one is Natasha's "Not the Matrix" trick on the Hoop Moves Submission video:
    youtube.com/watch
    I think this is one of the trippiest tricks I've seen. Natasha - if you can make a tutorial on this one, I will be forever grateful! You're a fabulous teacher, and I've learned so much from you already. BTW - this new 'video tutorials' tribe ROCKS!

    And the second request is from the PSI Dragonfly demo with Anah. She does a vertical move in the beginning of this video & flips over so that she's leaning backwards with her upper body facing the ceiling. She then alternates arms in and out of the hoop and ultimately rolls the hoop up, over her head. I love the way this move looks!

  • REQUESTS FOR TUTORIAL VIDS!!

    Sat, December 8, 2007 - 2:48 PM
    Yay! I'm happy to have discovered this tribe.

    I have a number of requests, but I'll start with just one.


    -barrel roll while shoulder hooping.


    When I start out facing downward, when I flip over my hoop always slips up and whacks me in the face. Ouch.
    When I start out facing upward, when I flip over my hoop slips down my shoulders towards my waist and I have to stop the flipping to scooch it back up while I'm facing down and then I have the problem of whacking myself in the face when I flip to face upwards again.

    I think my lip is STILL bleeding from this afternoon's attempt, heh.

      Just like in regular (non-barrel roll) shoulder hooping, you want to keep the hoop at the same place as the hoop rotates around your shoulders, chest, and back. Really think about keeping the hoop on the same plane. Imagine your body is a column and you want the hoop to stay at the same spot as it rotates. Right now the hoop is going up and down on the column as you barrel roll.

      You need to concentrate on your pushes as you barrel roll. The hoop slips up when your front push is not hard enough. The hoop slips down when your back push is not hard enough. Also make sure to use your shoulders. If you feel the hoop slipping up towards your face, shrug your shoulder up to catch the hoop and bring it back down to shoulder level. If you feel the hoop slipping down your back, shrug your shoulder to bring the hoop back up to shoulder level. When you are facing downward, as you flip up make sure to make a half circle with your shoulder passing the hoop from front out to the side and then to the back (shrugging if you need to get the hoop lower and away from your poor bloody lip!). When you are facing up and flipping down, use your other shoulder, making a half circle from back to the side to the front.

        Although Silverstar has went into great detail in describing barrel rolls on the shoulders, I am in need of a video tutorial. I learn so much better by visual instruction.

          From Holly Berry:

          I would love to see an video explaining a bit of hoop poi. My problem is probably the fact that I totally suck at poi, so the translation is likely to be a little tricky.

          Maybe just some slo-mo on a cross over move.

          If anyone is up to the challenge it would be greatly appreciated.
          Happy Hooping

    Does anyone have a video of the (I think it's called) 3 beat weave with 2 hoops? In my class we call it the double infinity. I just can't get it. I've been shown so often, but I need a simple video just to watch over and over to see if I can finally bring it off. I have 2 light hoops just waiting.....

    Okay, I got the shoulder barrell roll down. Thanks for all the helpful tips everyone!
    Time for my second request:
    Spiral does it at about 4:45 in this video youtube.com/watch

    Coming out of a shoulder barrel roll into a two handed isolation. That looks so damn hot.

    hi! i have 2 basic requests:

    1. i'd love to see a slo-mo showing how to raise the hoop off the body (over the head) from shoulder hooping at an angle. when i see people do it, i can't figure out which hand to use, where to grab it, etc. and end up whacking myself in the face.

    2. i see that there's a video posted on variations of duckouts, but i'd love to see just a regular duckout tutorial!

    thanks!

    • Hoopnotica's "Floating"

      Fri, February 29, 2008 - 6:45 AM
      I breezed thru most of Hoopnotica DVD 1 for beginners. Rayna's program is awesome and the troubleshooting parts were alot of help. I got the basics down except for the "floating" bit. I just can't get it. Any suggestions or other tutorials would be great. So, my lovely hoopers, I turn to you and beg for guidance. Thanks, as always, for your help, love, support, encouragement and generously sharing your knowledge and time. Wurd.

        Hi Dana.. yea.. I can help you with this in April.. in NC.. if you want.. one thing that really helped me with the floats or beam me ups (float down and up) is to make sure i turn my hand to the inside of the hoop. In other words instead of my fingers pointing up to the sky on the inside of the hoop, turn them horizontal on the inside of the hoop and pressing against the inside walls. the other thing is to make your you are movng your hand / path of your arms in a spiral around your body .. not just raising your arm straight up. I know that doesnt make sense but if you watch their video.. it will. They discuss that there. If you still have problems.. let me know.. I will try to film something tonight about the hand positioning... it makes all the difference in the world.
  • Vertical behind the head pass?

    Wed, March 5, 2008 - 2:35 PM
    I have a request please :). I'm not even sure what to call this move LOL, so I'll try to describe it. It's when you pass the hoop behind your head, vertically, from one hand to the other. The arms are to be bent, held at head level, and the hoop seems to rotate once in the middle while being passed. I can't seem to do this move without whacking myself in the head. I figure there must be something I'm not seeing.

    I have a request about requests.

    If you are requesting a tutorial on a move that you've seen in a video, it would help so much to post a link to the video along with the time stamp for when the move occurs. Sometimes I find it hard to understand what people are looking for just from their descriptions.
