Poi + Hoop = poi-style hooping Poop
Fellow Bristolian and all round encyclopedia of miscellaneous manipulations Mr Bags sent us though his latest explorations with hoops.
Some idea’s for hoopers that are well worth a look.
Edited with Cinelerra on Ubuntu – open source rules! (Most of MoM are on Ubuntu).

A nice mix of bodyrolling, multiball, hoop and baton isolations from Albert Tröbinger

Video made by Luminous Fractal (how cool is that. He should have been on stage!!)

Good stuff all around, some great manipulators on stage in this teaser clip from the 2010 Madskillz Gala show.

I can’t sleep. My job, my days..my life..I’ve lost the pleasure to sleep.
But a sleepless man is not necessarily a dreamless one. and this vid would tell you how.

thanks for watching!

Helloooooooo Masha Terentieva from Canada! Rockin’ good hoop routine with all the classic tricks (and a few surprising ones).

Her lyra (aerial hoop) act is worth checking out as well…

Around the time of the Firedrums Festival in Santa Cruz, California, The Vulcan in Oakland, California was flooded with visitors from all around the world. There were even more people at the Vulcan than seen in this video.  So you should watch for the next one —> here

This is mad new style hooping, of yes, awesome. Not quite sure of the name of the girl yet, apart from Jane, been trying to find out if she was supposed to be at the Sydney Juggling Convention.

Anyway, she does mad awesome hooping on a pole, so that you get the low space underneath you, she uses that to great effect, makes the pole do hoop, does pancakes and beautiful juggling transitions and owns some of the old style Bob Branson hoop rolling… Epic, watch it.

Fellow Bristolians, the super fun Pantalooneys have won a well earned Hoopie, the “Performance of the Year Hoopie Award 2010″. Dang, the hooping community is so organised. You can see the rest of the 2010 winners here.

New videos!

Bri is one of the fun, creative minds from The Prop Box (which is a unit in The Vulcan building). She also makes wind-up toys. : )

Ballspinning, shes bringing it back.
