Great for learning control and flow.

👉 Tip: Keep your arm straight and relax your wrist.
3. Around the Arm
A cool trick to add flair!
How to do it:
- Start spinning the hoop on your hand

- Let the hoop move from your wrist to your forearm
4. The Lift Off
Move the hoop from your waist to your hand!
How to do it:
