Tonight down at the Monday Night Circus Hoop on Venice Beach, Kandice showed off a new trick she's been working on (330KB .mpg). I'd never seen anything like it! We called it "The Matix," since it's almost like bullet-time hooping! (Apologies for the crappy video quality. That's the best my camera can do. Oh well.)
Sharna Rose teaches us how to do the "Vertical Underleg Twist Toss Pass." What's that exactly? You'll have to see for yourself. She lives in Maidstone, England.
Our two tracks for the week start off with Cosmic Cowboys and their new release "One Last Whisper." We're especially loving the Hiro Remix which is why we've added it to the Hoop Sounds iPod below. Check it out and other mixes and download yours on iTunes by clicking:
Next we cool things down with a track for some dreamier hooping. The track is called "Ruby" from the new release from Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté of Mali. We think you're going to like it. Give it a listen on the iPod and get your copy on iTunes by clicking:

That's so cool you can put a little video on the net just like that. Her trick was awesome! I'm so glad I got to meet you guys--you're all so good! It rubbed off on me a bit...I feel like I made quite a bit of progress on my own stuff. Oh and thanks for emailing me those pics. I'll get mine going tomorrow :)

I came up with this one during a firedancing practice one wonderful night on the beach. The trick is to practice with a 'chubby' hoop (a two-person hoop) first, then move into the smaller ones. I call it the "duck, tuck, and roll-around".

I had the pleasure of hooping with Kandice tonight at Venice Beach where we met for a fire hoop workshop. While we were warming up, she showed us "The Matrix." Amazing! I looked for the video here on hooping.org but it doesn't seem to be available any longer. Anyone still have a copy on their hard drive that they'd be willing to repost, or just email directly to me? I'd LOVE to see it again. xOxOs and hOOPs!
