Boring non-incendiary hooping with kite at the beach:
As you can hear, it was VERY windy and my Balinese boat kite tried to escape. The Orbital Rainbow, my wind-resistant hoop, is a foam-covered metal pipe that weighs in at 7lbs. Sorry it's not on fire!

Do you hula the hoop while you do the housework?
I'm intrigued now. What got you into hooping in the first place? You're so skilful.

Non Boring my ass. I can't do any of the things in that video. Fly a kite. Hula Hoop. Go to a beach. Wear a swimsuit in public. Look good doing it. I can put my hair in a pony tail now. I got that going for me. but only barely. I can barely do one thing in that video.
I betcha hoop alot of the time when you do daily chores.

If I could find a way to hoop while cleaning I would actually get stuff done, but it's a bit hard to find part of me that isn't involved in cleaning to spin the hoop on in a way that doesn't hit stuff.
(1) Me father was a dragon, apparently. A dragon that ate hula hoops for breakfast. With unicorn milk.
(2) WiiFit hooping simulator
(3) Roommate moved in with two large adult hula hoops -- it's easier to learn on larger ones, slower + fewer rotations to 'keep it up' [nudgenudge]
(4) Saw someone hoop fire, saw someone LED hoop with their foot
I stuck with it mainly because it helps me cope with frustration, anger and stress, which at the time I started hooping was overwhelming. Mesolimbic dopamine every time I succeed in figuring out a new trick adds to the fun/addictive quality of it. Also: 'flow.'

My first non-incendiary non-kite-having hoop video. Just me, nice and slow, and my water-fill hoop. I hope I'll get better with camera placement, camera focus, and general ease with hooping in front of the camera with nothing on fire or in the air to distract me.

I like ruined buildings & urban exploration. This location probably would have been better served by an 'Oppressed People' or 'Desert Prison' remix, but I decided to go with a favorite that would keep me chilled out and slow. Rushing it + nervousness = frisbee hoop, whee there it goes... right through my fingers.

It's just hypnotic watching you. I had no idea one could do so much with a hoop! Also, I loved your outfit; that red is gorgeous.
I love what you're doing. It's really performance art. It has to be one of the most original fanarts in existence.

Ooh, I wish! I'm not nearly good enough. I know people there who are good enough to make money doing hoop performances, but they've all been hooping for years and are amazing at it.
Lic -- thank you!
This week I'm actually getting far better fitting & looking clothes for my birthday, as well as finishing my pretty handmade hoops. If the nice weather holds I hope I'll get to do some more videos this week.<3 Lex! I went out to get the LED hoop video and when I came back to post it TLS was gone. I hoop a lot to that song since it's Schala in Wutai, hot damn! When you suggested it I was delighted. I thought it would make a lovely first video with my hoop filled with LEDs the colors of materia, which I like to call the Conformer:

Oooh fancy footwork!! The fire hoops are more awe-inspiring because, you know, they're on fire, but I think I find the LED hoop more mesmerising. It reminds me of those flourescent jellyfish on the Discovery channel. Love the music.
