Hi everyone,
I am a hooper, and I like to know what the physical forces are behind what I do, to aid in instruction. A question I have been asked by a fellow hooper is why when doing the move shown in the link below, the hooper can turn only in the same direction in the hoop. The move will not work if you try to turn in the opposite direction. Here is the move being discussed:

Also, if this sort of stuff interests you, here is a little video tutorial of mine on the physics of hooping and other flow toys. I would love to hear any thoughts other people have on this matter:
