Aerial hoops, also known as aerial rings or lyras, are a classic aerial circus performance prop much like trapezes and aerial ropes. Due to their widespread use and simplicity of setup, along with the amazing range of beautiful, flowing, and daring moves that can be performed on them they are one of the most popular pieces of aerial apparatus around. Our one point Aerial hoops are built to our exacting standards in our workshop to be the ideal beginner and intermediate lyra. The single tab at the top of this hoop makes it simple to rig, and allows you to have a single rope or strop to work with above your hoop. These Aerial hoops are made from Steel tubing, allowing great strength without adding too much weight. The tab on this hoop is ready to accept any suitable carabiner in order to connect it to a strop, hanging cable, or cable reinforced cotton rope. Please note - the quick links (maillon rapide) will not fit our aerial hoops. You can also connect the hoop directly to a strop without the need for a carabiner. Sizing: If you are unsure which size you need, a basic measurement is to sit on a chair and measure from the seat to the top of your head, then add 10cm (eg: chair to top of head is 80cm, then you likely need a 90cm aerial hoop). Please note: all sizes refer to the OUTER diameter (OD). The internal diameter is 5cm less than the external diameter. This aerial hoop is manufactured in the UK by Firetoys and is fully strength tested and certified. Certificates of conformity are available on request.
