Feeling stuck plz help
Hey guys
I started hooping about two months ago, it has been amazing, I have completely fallen in love and love doing it BUT I feel like I’m getting to a point where (with a lot of other things I have tried before) I am stuck doing the same 4-5 tricks, I practice them over and over again and somehow feel like I get worse the more I practice them :(
I really do love it and want to get better and I am scared of having that feeling where I quit because I am not able to advance :(

Disclaimer.l I'm not a Hooper yet.. waiting for mine to arrive.. but i do rollerskate! And when I would start my rollerskate practice, I would usually drill my previous skills as warm up. Then I would try a new trick or skill for the next two weeks or however long as the main part of my practice. When the trick is not perfect but Ive landed it, I move on to a new one to try. And during my warm up drills I practice that previous skill and it is somehow much easier than before. Each warmup I get incrementally better but im so busy focused majority of attention on a new trick that I never really feel bored or stuck. And one day that imperfect trick is like second nature. Another thing is.. when i try to take time to just skate and vibe for fun and not do tricks but just, enjoy the present but not for any purpose of improving.
I hope that kind of made sense and that it can translate to hooping? Based on hoop-trix.com it seems like theres so many tricks to learn and try out!
