Isolating a Hoop

Back to the hoops I was thinking about last Monday. Today's entry is a different manipulation technique for a hula hoop. It's a more... acceptable form of hooping for me, as a male, to do. Any kind of islolation takes massive skill, time, and patience to perfect, and this guy obviously spent the time in front of a mirror. His stuff is crisp, its asthetically pleasing, and its presented well. All I could ask for is the skill to do it myself.

Traditional Hooping

Hula Hooping has taken on a bit of a juggling flare. People are treating it as if there is skill involved, unlike 30 years ago when the craze first swept the US. Now everyone is getting into it, except men, because its not a manly thing to do. Still, I do think it would be fun to learn. And probably not that hard, if my experience with object manipulation is any indication.
