Took a while to get, until my friend Michelle told me to think like I was doing knee-highs. That finally made it click! One hour and 2 fuzzy socks later:
For this move, you really want a lighter hoop. Use the lightest large-diameter hoop you own. There are really 2 ways of starting up this move: kick the foot outside the hoop backwards against the hoop, or kick the foot inside the hoop forwards so that the hoop pushes against your other foot. I was always practicing the first version, which how most tutorial videos start.
However, I was finally able to nail this move when I tried the second starting technique, kicking your inside foot forward. If you're stuck on this move, I'd really recommend giving this a try. It feels awkward, but it gives your lifting foot more time to get into the hoop and lift up. This way, you don't have to kick the hoop, bring your foot back in the hoop, then lift. It takes out a step and gives you more time to react.
Let me know if this tip helped you nail the move!
