Hey you guys!

I've been fire hooping for a few months now, and finally have another performance lined up for this weekend. It's been a little while since I've performed for a crowd, so I've been practicing today unlit, trying new things to see if they are possible while on fire.

So, my random question to those who fire hoop (or those who just like to watch fire hooping) is what is your favorite hoop trick to do while using a fire hoop (or which one looks coolest to those who don't use fire)?

I've been really into doing isolations with my fire hoop :)

I look forward to hearing what tricks you guys like!

    I think these three are my favorite
    These two more because they look awesome in pictures.
    -Antispin Linear Isolations (flowers)
    -Tosses

    Jump-ins and going straight into a beam me up because then you get that cool looking vortex all the way from down low to up above your head.

    --Just the other night I got the overwhelming urge to do eagle rolls across my back as my wicks started going out. (This is a really bad idea for obvious reasons). However, I found that it's possible to toss it from one side to the other behind my back so it *looks* like a roll. (this still may be a bad idea, so I wouldn't exactly consider it a safe move =-p )

    i love doing isolations as well.... let's see... vertical one shoulder duckouts are fun because i feel the fire whoosh right past my face and neck... hooping on one leg... and barrel rolls... vertical plane jump-throughs into behind the back vertical hooping...

    I like the beam me ups too. I am more of a poi spinner and a very beginner hooper. I really like anything that moves the hoop up and down quickly. I love the fire trails. I also like the beam me ups that don't go all the way up and then the other hand takes it down and beck up. That is very cool. I hope this helps at least a little.
