Scissor Switch

A lot of people have trouble with this move. It's really hard to just keep the hoop level as it switches back and forth. Here's some tip, pointers, and an example video! (Again, for some reason, not letting me embed.)

To start, make sure you can hoop at the knee. Use a small, lighter hoop for this trick as well. Initially, I would practice placing the hoop between your legs and just practicing the reversal part. Work on keeping the hoop as level as possible. I find this is easier just at the knees and below the knees, but if the hoop is placed just above the knee, then it starts flying in all sorts of directions when you attempt reversals. 

When you start incorporating pulling your knee out and putting it back in, there a few tips that really helped me. First is, when you're hooping on one knee and going to drop your other leg in to begin reversals, have your leg behind you and sweep forward to meet the hoop. The energy from your leg will transfer to the hoop and give it the push it needs to change directions. From there, you just keep control like when you were practicing just the reversals, focusing on keeping the hoop level.

When pulling your leg out of the way to continue one knee hooping, its a very quick motion. You have to make sure your leg gets out of the way before the hoop has a chance to come all the way back around after giving it that final push. When doing reversals, you keep contact with the hoop on your outer leg. When giving the final push, you need to give it just enough push to get the hoop moving in the other direction, then get it out of the way!

Best of luck everyone! Let me know below what tips helped and feel free to post additional advice!
