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:

Hi Ariel! Welcome back! You can't see the thumbs or the pop-ups? Both are working for me.... Did you come to the main page or through a permalink?

I can't see the thumbnails or the photos in either Mozilla or IE, from either the main page OR the permalink. Mysterious!

Valerie: Most of the tape we used was from identi-tape.com.
Ariel: That's really strange. I can see them fine too.

A-ha, Gerard, welcome to the plight that almost every hoop-maker-to-be has been through. The piping is, um, sort of hard to get. The closest you can get it right now is Lowe's in Livermore.
