Prodigy - Bubble Aerial Hoop - 90cm

 

WHAT'S THIS AERIAL HOOP?

This is an Aerial Hoop with a little hat!

The Bubble Aerial Hoop is also known as a Taco top/tab hoop.

WHY WOULD THIS BE THE RIGHT AERIAL HOOP FOR ME?

If you already have one of our other Aerial Hoops, and you’re looking for something different to work with, then a Bubble Aerial Hoop will offer you some unique and exciting possibilities for training and performance.

The Bubble at the top of this hoop allows you to rig the hoop from a central point AND grip the top of the hoop from the centre with one or two hands. This makes it possible to perform a crowd-pleasing Meat-Hook from the top of the hoop!

The ability to hold the very centre of the top bar and the bottom bar also opens the possibility to perform Flags and Horizontal Splits.

The Bubble at the top has been designed and tested to ensure you can comfortably grip the centre of the top bar with two hands, so there is no problem to straddle comfortably. While there is enough space inside the Bubble for two hands, it won’t get in the way when you need to hock on to the top bar.

Another benefit of the Bubble is you do not have any metal-on-metal rigging right at the top of your hoop!

WILL I NEED ANYTHING ELSE?

Aside from a rigging point, you’ll have some optional accessories, as well as some essential rigging gear. What you need for each type of Aerial Hoop will vary and if you have any questions, we are happy to help you. Below are some specifics you will need for a Bubble Aerial Hoop.

ACCESSORIES

    Tape

    Grip aid

    Handloop strap

How will I rig this Aerial Hoop?

You will need to choke a Polyester Strop or PolySafe Rope from the centre of the Bubble. If you are using the Bubble Aerial Hoop bare (without tape), you will need to put tape at the point where you choke the strop.

In some circumstances, you could use a nylon sling, but this would not usually be recommended. You would want to use these in a performance if you need rigging which is less visible to the audience.

If you do not want the Bubble Aerial Hoop to spin then you just need to connect your strop/rope to your anchor point with a carabiner. This is recommended when you want to keep a hoop rigged from one point facing an audience. This would also be recommended if you’re using a Prodigy Rig for training.

If you need the Bubble Aerial Hoop to spin you would need a carabiner at the top of the rope/strop, which can be connected to a swivel and then another carabiner connecting to your anchor point.

TECH SPEC
