Adhesive tape coating:
The hoop comes ready to be covered with fabric grip. We recommend the Prodigy Snake Tape . This grip has the particularity of not releasing glue residue on the hands and body, even after intensive use of the hoop. An aerial hoop grip is put in place starting from the bottom to the top. And the sides are done independently and meet in the center at the top.
Who is the Firetoys x Echo LED Aerial Hoop for?
The Firetoys x Echo LED Aerial Hoop is designed for aerial artists , circus performers , performers and hobbyists looking to add visual effects and innovative movements to their performances. Ideal for dance shows , festivals , nighttime events or any occasion that requires a spectacular aerial touch. Previous experience with aerial equipment is highly recommended, and it is essential to follow safety guidelines when using it.
What are the conditions for installing an aerial hoop?
Height is needed:
To install a hoop, you will need a ceiling height of at least 4 meters. The hoop will not necessarily be 4 meters high, but you need height above and below the hoop. Any installation with a height lower than 4 meters will cause you frustration and very limited use of the apparatus. Imagine yourself hanging from the hoop, you need a lot of space below it. Now imagine yourself standing on the bottom of the hoop, you also need space above you. With a swinging movement on the hoop, you will need even more space. Without the necessary space, you will end up with a hoop that will have a role similar to that of a swing.
Dynamic vs. Static:
Remember that a moving body can weigh up to 3 times the mass of a static body. When you are on an aerial hoop, you are a moving body. A fixture that will hold your stationary (static) mass will not be sufficient.
Fixing at your home as an individual:
Your life or your child's life is going to be on a hoop. Don't neglect its installation.
An aerial hoop attachment cannot be improvised. Consult a rigging specialist, an architect, or seek the advice of a mason. During our discussions with some novice customers, we are told to use punching ball attachment plates. These attachments are made to attach 30 to 50 kg to the ceiling. The mass of a person in motion (dynamic) can be up to 3 times their mass in a static position. Never use this type of plate, an accident would be assured. Each building has a different structure of its own with its own resistances and materials. One of the best solutions that requires the least technique is to use a ring sewn around an imposing beam. Here again, seek the advice of a specialist.
Fixing in a professional environment:
Do not carry out any installation of anchor points without having a study and installation carried out by professionals.
What diameter of aerial hoop should I choose?
The diameter of your aerial hoop is chosen according to your height. When you are sitting on the hoop, there must be 10cm of flapping above your head. You can take this measurement by sitting on a chair (e.g. height between the chair and your head = 70cm, then you will need an aerial hoop with an internal diameter of 80cm). If you are buying for a circus school where several people will use the same hoop, this space may vary slightly and extend up to 15cm.
With this method, you will be sure not to hit your head on the top of the hoop when you are sitting. If you are teaching students who vary in height, remember to check that they cannot hit their head before you begin :-).
