A prodigy Aerial hoop to fit all occasions

Aerial hoops are a varied bunch, with 1 point hoops, 2 point hoops, 0 point hoops and even 3 point hoops all serving important purposes depending on what moves and routines you have planned.

A shackle hoop like this one offers the ability to transform to fit any of these roles, as and when needed, through high strength marine grade steel shackles that act as your attachment points. The shackles have a low profile 6mm bar and the hex head pin locks into place very neatly in an indentation on the bar of the shackle. This means it locks securely and with no protruding pin to get in the way.

We recommend using a medium strength threadlock on the thread of the pin to eliminate any risk of vibrations loosening the pin.

Multi-point means multi-purpose

Using the provided multitool’s allen key, you can attach the shackles in any of 3 places. put both in the center pointing up for a 1 point hoop, put one either side point upwards for a classic 2-point lyra, or mix it up and add some extra shackles for a third central point, perfect for attaching a hand-loop strap to.

Quick and easy modification.

The way in which the shackles attach also allow you to clip your carabiners parallel to the hoop, which many performers prefer, or do away with carabiners entirely, by attaching the shackle directly to your polyester strop. The same goes for any internal points, a hand loop strap is much more comfortable to use without the carabiner at the top, and there’s no need to lose length from it by choking around the hoop.

These hoops are made of a 25mm (1 inch) high grade steel, with incredibly durable powder coating in a grippy neutral grey. Of course, as with any aerial hoop, you can add some adhesive tape to add grip, but these are fine to use without.
