Vortex Brakes

I love this move that I've seen in a few of Neon Emu's videos. I've never seen a tutorial for it, and I don't know what it's called. I'd dubbed it a Vortex Brake. It's a really good transition between on-body and off-body moves. It's also changes your spin direction, so you can use it to change if you are spinning off-body opposite your natural direction.

To do this move, start in lasso above your head. If you're spinning with your right hand, the hoop should be travelling to the right. I switch back and forth in this video so you can see both ways. So as the hoop spinning above  you, grasp the hoop when it is directly over you with your thumb facing the direction the hoop just came from. Bring your hand down across your chest to your side. 

When the hoop reaches your side, make sure you have a firm grip on it. You're going to sort of rebound the hoop off your palm to reverse the hoop direction. Use the bouncing movement of the hoop to change direction, then bring your arm back up in across your chest and continue hooping above the head. It needs to be a very quick movement so the hoop doesn't lose momentum. 

Using a lighter hoop will help a lot for this. Also try to do this move in a mirror (that's why I'm constantly looking to the side). You'll be able to see if your hoop looks level and pretty, or if it is drooping down at one end. 

Let me know if you have any luck!
