3rd day training the hoop.  You might wonder why I'm learning it.  A few reasons really.  All props are interconnected.  Learning the hoop is actually giving me double staff moves too.  I didn't realize how much fun the hoop would be, although I'm still not sure about spinning it around the waist.  It's a challenge because I'm used to holding straight objects.

I want to be able to create fire shows where we can exchange props...so I want to make sure I can spin staff, chucks, poi and hoop - as they are the most common of all fire props.

Anyways... Practicing a figure 8 isolation.  Then trying to exchange hands and do circular/anti-spins. A few isolated movements.  Trying to do a btb pinwheel from the inside but the isolation wasn't working as planned.  Then doing a 'flippy ground' thing... perhaps the most interesting move of the vid.  Finishing it off with B2F wrist rolls.
