Aerial Safety

Aerial equipment should never be used unsupervised, please consult a professional.

Everything below assumes you have a suitable and safe rigging point, like a professionally installed rigging point or a reputable and rated freestanding rig. Not every home/studio will be the same, so we cannot advise on this part. If you haven’t established a safe rigging point, please do this first with the help of a structural engineer/experienced rigger/professional familiar with what you're hanging and where you're hanging it.

Check out our aerial blogs for more information.

Thicker Bar

The wider diameter bar on this hoop means more stability in balance moves as well as improved comfort. The larger surface area of the bar helps to cradle the body and reduce that feeling of the hoop digging in. Balance positions also feel more supported, distributing the pressure more evenly than standard hoops.

The added stability and control also makes this hoop ideal for ground based hooping.

The wider bar can however, make hocks and elbow hangs a little more difficult. Any position where you are wrapped around the hoop may be a little more painful with the larger diameter so this is something to keep in mind.

Overall, this hoop is great for all aerialists, especially beginners who may find the hoop easier to learn on, as well as anyone transitioning from pole.

Predictable Movement

The added weight of this hoop makes it ideal for ground work and spinning. Aerialists can move continuously with easy transitions, and the hoop feels easy to manage. The wide grip allows for more control and comfort when partially releasing the grip to make it rotate in the hand.

Sizing

This hoop is measured by the INTERNAL diameter. You can see our size guide for a standard Aerial Hoop here.

Internal to external conversions:

85cm = Equivalent to 90cm standard Firetoys Hoop
90cm = Equivalent to 95cm standard Firetoys Hoop
95cm = Equivalent to 100cm standard Firetoys Hoop

Rigging

0 point (tabless) hoops are a great option for versatility, allowing you to rig as a 1 or 2 point hoop.

You can choke a Polyester Strop or Aerial PolySafe Rope directly to the bar.

Attaching soft rigging directly to the hoop reduces metal-on-metal wear and removes hardware from where you will hock on.

You can use a Prodigy Aerial Sewn Loop Sling if you need rigging which is less visible to the audience but we don't recommend this for more long term use.

Bear in mind the thicker diameter will mean you lose a bit more length from the choke than the standard hoops.

Testimonials from our customers
Testimonials from our customers
I've loved using Firetoys' wide grip hoop because the extra surface area makes so many moves feel more comfortable and supported. Whether I’m sitting, balancing, or holding poses, the wide grip cradles my body and helps distribute the pressure more evenly. I’ve definitely felt the sting of a standard hoop digging in, but this design has been a game-changer! It’s also helped me build conditioning in those notoriously tender spots (elbows, I’m talking about you!). Plus, if you’re coming from pole fitness, this hoop makes for a great transition into the world of aerial.
