Videos... of hooping...

I made a hooping video. There are a lot of things I don't like about it (it being the hooping, not the movie itself), and a lot of things I do. I've debated posting it, but I've decided that it's ok to look awkward in front of my friends sometimes.
The song runs out near the end, and you can hear the other one in the background that I was actually dancing it. This is the fault of Windows Movie Maker and my own impatience.

I especially enjoy how stealhty and ninja like Shogi is as he passes in and out of the room.

Yay! I need to get a video camera and practice watching myself like this. I think it's better than hooping in front of a mirror even!

I echo a lot of the nice comments posted in the Hooping Videos tribe re. your style and tricks. I loved the under arm breaks! Won't you please teach me those? :)

For a critique, I might suggest practicing transitions. Look at those moments in the video where the hoop fell, for example, and practice those transitions to make them seamless. There was one movement where you are spinning around, and when you stopped, it caught you up every time. Perhaps practice a shorter, 3-minute piece with seamless transitions, as if you were going to perform it in front of an audience, like ballroom dancing! Then perhaps rearrange the tricks in a different order, and practice those transitions.

Yay, Bouncy! Beautiful work! :)

Always good to move the bong out of the way before practicing with the hoop.

I never have this problem because unlike you, I don't have enough room indoors to hoop. =D this ain't L.A.

Beautiful! Now, next time with the fire hoop!!!

Oh yeah, Shoghi's wins the Oscar for (non-?)supporting role.
