After bagging on the new EP “We Can Make The World Go Round,” I stumbled onto this GM vid. They rarely disappoint and this video got me hyped. I’m stickin by my first thoughts on the EP though.
Hooping
Hooping events or information.
Atomic Hoop from Astral Hoops
Finger tutting
I made this post back in April last year. Dude is tight and now blowing up! Originally I was stoked on object manipulations concepts being applies to body movement. In the commercial, they graphically layer the concepts over his motion. I gotta do this with the hoop!
Halcyon is on point… again.
Barcelona, What’s Up! Shakti Sunfire needs some hoops!
Shakti will be coming to teach hooping at the Barcelona Yoga Conference. She’s needing to locate 40 hoops or tubing to make 40 hoops in Barcelona. According to google analytics, people have visited Isopop.com in Barcelona in the last month. So, Barcelona peeps, if ya wanna help Shakti get some hoops in Barcelona, hit me up at rich@isopop.com. Thanks!
This is sorta just an experiment too. I wonder if this will work :)
Age & Gender of Hoopers
I wonder how accurately my FB stats represent a cross section of the hooping community. I’m going to ask some friends to get comparisons. Still 75% women. The male contigent continues to increase though.
UPDATE:
Here’s a comparison of Hoop Technique and Isopop FB like stats. Isopop has higher male percentage thean Hoop Technique which makes sense (I guess?).
Zircles – 3d Moves
Bags just sent me this video. It’s very well done and interesting and spacial… good stuff. In Hoop Technique we’d refer to these as 3d moves. Any time you break the plane of the hoop, you start to capture volumes. In these moves Bags captures space rather than just drawing on a 2d plane. A lot of 3d development is going on right now and this video is one of the most concise and innovative I’ve seen.
