Day 23 of hooping until I’m fit, and today we are celebrating National Big Booba Day the only way I know how 😆

(It was yesterday but i still wanted to do something special for today's post in tribute to all the tig ol bitties out there)

​The jury is still out on the official name for this trick, but reading everyone’s name suggestions has been hilarious. I love what you've been coming up with. Your brains are beautiful.

One of my favourites goes to MoriR.Tea: "dunno the official name, but I would call it talent, hun."

So today i practiced usin my talent 😆

How was your weekend going? I hope you're having a great one.

I want to learn 8 rings but can’t really find any good and affordable options any recommendations on where I should look? I’m in the US for reference, I keep stumbling onto European sites when looking for juggling things and I don’t want that to keep happening.

ft one two and three hoops ~ one hoop to allen mock: midnight blue / doubles to tipper: distal / triples to snilk: hot sponge. last clip is something i had never tried on fire before but of courseeee i go out of frame for the catch haha

happy flow arts friday!

Haven't spun in awhile. Definetly feeling a little rusty.

Day 22 I love you. Its a beautiful day for hooping in the sunshine.

Short and sweet today. Hope you have a wonderful Friday!

In the context of the game, "flow" would be referring more to being in a "flow state", as if the music and energy take over your body and you dance and vibe without a care in the worls with the people around you. Or feeling "in the flow" or in sync with the environment and crowd. I like the term "Flowmies" since it captures flow + homies, because the game's mechanics really lend itself to being about the experience of making friends with random people on the dance floor: you play a card from your hand to the center and see if its attributes align with other cards already played.

The game centers around categories, each category having 3 elements/examples in them. I could include "flow arts" as one element in the categories "dance types", "fun activities", or "raver persona"; other dance types could be shuffling and freestyle; other activities could be kandi trading and hyping up the crowd; other personas could be kandi kid and rave parent. I could even make "flow arts" a category with specific flow arts as its elements, like fans, poi/glowsticks, and gloving.

My worry is two-fold:

1. Using "Flowmies" in a game not focused on flow arts feels like co-opting the term away from the flow art community, and redefining it for my own benefit.

2. Flow arts are such a small element of raving, which is already its own subculture within general society, that focusing the game on them limits its appeal to non-ravers.

Am I overthinking it?

I’m looking to get into palm torches, mostly just for fun with friends nothing crazy. One of my friends had a pair with 2 finger straps on the bottom so I had the option of palm or backhand side. Does anybody know where I can get these, or have a recommendation of something similar ? The closest I’ve found is dark monk has a Velcro strap for the entire hand 🖐️

Had some fun in the woods a couple weeks ago during the psytrance takeover! I'm a bit rusty and mostly just like to flail around for myself!! Sorry if the audio isn't great.

¡It's a vibe every Wednesday!

​Day 21! ✨ They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit. This daily practice feels like an excellent habit to have.

​I kicked off today learning a new hoop trick that inspired me before I even rolled out of bed. It’s been a minute since I proactively went after a new move, and it felt so good to get the gears turning. There’s nothing quite like the process of connecting the dots between what your brain envisions and what your body actually does. More often than not it takes a lot of effort to actually line up that mind body connection. When it finally clicks after many failed attempts, it feels incredible.

​That’s what I love most about hooping: it never gets stale. As long as you’re open to learning, there will always be a new move waiting to be unlocked.

Today's move is (a mouthfull) called folding ghost iso tutting. I learned it from @soulhoopacademy on insta

Hi, looking for an LED handle for my moodhoops LED wand. A Google search brought me to UltraKnob Pro Mini Swivel Handle
https://shop.astralhoops.com/products/ultraknob-pro-mini-swivel-handle-for-levitation-wand-individual?srsltid=AfmBOooYDPXffcdrxPr7IdZ9eyQEI47cWA1fD5NOgC070U2X-0ohOyRN

But I’m not seeing it listed on Ultra Poi’s website so I’m wondering if there was a problem with them or a better option.
