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.

Versatile and Simple

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

They are also simple to rig. Removing the tabs reduces the amount of hardware needed in your overall set-up, reduces the metal-on-metal contact (which leads to excessive wear), and eliminates coming into contact with hardware on the top bar.

Our Aerial Hoops come ready to rig up and use out of the box with a grippy matt powder coating that is durable and looks great. However, the bare powder coating can take a little while to warm up (like a pole dancing pole), so many people prefer to tape their hoop up in one of our many colourful grip tapes. You can find a guide to taping your aerial hoop here.

Suitable for Beginners and Experts

0-point hoops are ideal for teachers as they offer the option to rig as a single point or a double point in just one hoop!

If you rig it as a 2-point hoop, you can choose how far apart your points are which will change how the hoop feels and moves. This allows the user to play and experiment or the teacher to adjust for different students.

You can even rig a 0-point hoop horizontally, known as a Chandelyra; this opens up a whole new way of using the hoop and is a fantastic performance piece.

If you have limited height, a 0-Point or 1-Point is best compared to a 2-point hoop.

Sizing

You can see our size guide for a standard Aerial Hoop here.

You might also want to consider going up a size if you intend to use this hoop for doubles.

Note: All sizes listed are the EXTERNAL diameter of the Hoop. For the internal measurement deduct 5 cm (2 inches) from the external diameter.

How to Rig a 0 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.

If you do not want the Aerial Hoop to spin, you need to connect your strop/rope to your anchor point with a carabiner. We recommend this when you want to keep a hoop rigged from one point facing an audience.

If you want to spin, you need a carabiner at the top of the rope/strop, connected to a swivel and then another carabiner securing you to your anchor point.

Having used the Firetoys tabless aerial hoop for the last six months, I am extremely impressed with this piece of equipment. The hoop is made from high quality steel, features a powder coated finish and is still light enough to transport easily. The movement both spinning and static is great because of the weight, sizing is true to form and the kit feels robust. I would highly recommend this great piece of kit.

Great Lyra

I love the table as Lyra more than the one I have with a tab. Firetoys was great at getting it to me on time and in great condition. I will say I don’t like the material they use to wrap the Lyra and I would’ve been willing to pay the cost difference in tape to get it wrapped in the one I like.

Most beautiful hoop I've ever seen in my entire life

Love it

I love the tabless hoop because of all the different configurations you can do with it as well as playing on the spanset without worrying about pinching yourself on any kind of clip. I do wish it came in plain stainless steel, as I don't wrap mine and the coating isn't my favorite

Love my hoop

I've purchased my hoop a while back, and am very glad I went with tabless option. Allows for freedom of rigging the hoop and I am very glad this option is available to buy from Firetoys. It arrived well packed. I'm very happy to be able to use a hoop that is the correct size for me (the studio's hoops are too small and too big for me).

Bought this to replace a very old one point - fantastic. Lighter weight than I'm use to but hard wearing and came with care instructions. Very versatile hoop that can be adapted for many tricks.Put to great use already!

Beautiful apparatus and fast shipping!

My new lyra is so beautiful! I absolutely love the matte black. Shipping was super fast. I couldn't be more pleased! Thanks Firetoys!

Great!

This hoop is made with wonderful quality materials! Initially, I tried to use this hoop with tape, but I ended up removing the tape after a couple of weeks. My only complaint is that when using this hoop without tape, the spanset slips and rolls the hoop more to one side during certain moves (such as arabesque or a side mount). The lyra without the tape allows for much smoother transitions though! I can switch moves quickly and almost effortlessly. Also, it will take some getting used to when I try to do topbar moves with a double point rigging method because the hoop flips upwards way more than I am familiar with from single point rigging systems. The shipping was incredibly fast and I had no problems with my order whatsoever.

Reply from Firetoys: to stop the hoop slipping without there are a couple of options which can be used in combination, too! Tape the hoop where you are choking the strop onto the hoop. A full round turn, or double wrap, will give the strop more grip and prevent slipping.

extremely impressed, highly recommended

Having used the Firetoys tabless aerial hoop for the last six months, I am extremely impressed with this piece of equipment. The hoop is made from high quality steel, features a powder coated finish and is still light enough to transport easily. The movement both spinning and static is great because of the weight, sizing is true to form and the kit feels robust. Having used this hoop on a number of our photoshoots and videoshoots - it has been really put to the test with a number of different aerialists over a series of months and its still looking as new. Great for studio use or performance use - I would highly recommend this great piece of kit to all Spin City Instructors.
