Progress Update: 3 Beat Weave (I think I got it!)

Well, as the title says, I think I got it.  Pretty good actually.  Here I am talking about it/demonstrating it.  Beware of silliness.

there’s also a squirrel and some birds in the background

To recap, it took me awhile to get this move down.  Don’t get too discouraged.  You can get a lil discouraged, but not a lot, please.

As I tried to say and demonstrate in the video, I start in the “chase weave”.  This helps me to get enough momentum in the vertical plane to continue on into the 3-beat.  When I try to just start off in the 3-beat weave the hoops usually get all diagonal and crooked.  If anyone has any tips for me to get enough momentum starting with 3-beat, please let me know!

I got a lot of tips and pointers, and looked at a lot of videos to understand the move, so it may help to look at a lot of sources. 

Next is the reverse weave and the reverse 3-beat weave! I hope I improve quite a bit in the coming days, and to at least look slightly more coordinated than my attempt in the video.

Please enjoy my impromptu Styx jam towards the end of the video.

Happy hooping! :)
