One Shoulder Hooping
Nichole has a bit of a different take on explaining one shoulder hooping that has definitely helped some figure it out. Here she is to tell you how it is done.
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:

Wow, that really worked! I always had to have my arm extended in the air when I dropped my head out to prevent the hoop from flying off, but I ran outside right after watching this, and within a couple minutes, I was shoulder hooping! THANK YOU!

This was helpful! Hopefully I can smooth it out "like Safire" but for now I can at least drop out of the hoop and keep it going on one shoulder. Yay!

This works excellently! I've been trying to do this trick for over a year (not every day, of course, but whenever I'm at some festival) and it always fell off of my shoulder. After watching this video I was able to get this trick down really well in less than an hour!
