How to do a back roll
Hoop Tricks; How to roll your hula hoop along your back
Start by spinning the hoop towards your self in the wall plane. Look to the hand that is spinning the hoop and place the hoop on your arm with enough momentum so that the hoop will roll all the way over to your other hand. Did I forget to mention that your chest is going to need to be angled towards the floor? Watch the hoop roll down your arm and then turn your head to look for the hoop so you can grab it and keep on hooping.

Start by hula hooping around your body using your hands to carry the hoop in an orbit around your body. Then you are going to place the hoop on your ankle. If you are hooping counter clockwise, then place the hoop on your left ankle, if you are hooping clockwise, use your right ankle. Once the hoop is hooked on your ankle, sweep your leg around behind your body and over to its opposite side. As the hoop come over to the opposite side of your body and before it hits your back, grab the hoop off your ankle and resume the body orbit.

How to do a behind the back elbow transfer.
Start by hooping forwards on one of your elbows. As the hoop comes behind you and you can sense that open space in the hoop, quickly rotate at your hips and stick your other elbow behind your back and into the open space of the hoop. The hoop should hook your elbow and then continue spinning backwards on the opposite side you began on.

Hoop Tricks; Duck In.
Start by spinning your hula hoop around your body, doing a body orbit as I believe it is called. Bring the hoop behind your back and then bend over bringing your chest to the ground. At the same time your hoop is going to start rotating around your thumb that is pointed towards the sky. When the hoop twirls over your back and you can see the open space it creates, bend up into the hoop and use your hand to give it s whirl and keep the momentum going.
Viola, you just ducked in!

Learn do do hoop isolations.
An isolation is a point in space that does not move, whether that is an actual object or an imaginary line.
Grab your hula hoop and put your hands on either side of it, imagine that there is a hub in the middle and that you are going to be moving your hoop around that fixed hub, much like the steering wheel of a car.
