    How big is that hammock you are using? My 5 meter hammock appears to be too short to pull this off.

  • @theaerialistsguide
    @theaerialistsguide4 күн бұрын

    At the longest, my hammock is about 11 meters end to end or 5.5 meters from hardware to the bottom. In this video, it may have been rigged a bit shorter to maybe 4.5 meters hardware to bottom of the hammock.

    how high should my straps be hung? I'm about 6ft tall and have my own, but I don't know how high off the ground they should be. (for my height)

  • @theaerialistsguide
    @theaerialistsguide2 ай бұрын

    It depends what you want to do on them and how you want to hold the straps. There is hanging by the loops or doing a wrap without the loops. What kind of moves or poses do you like to do on straps?

    These are great tips that I wish I'd heard in my early days. I would like to add being sure to hydrate! I have found that when I'm drinking too much coffee or tea and not enough water, I'm way more likely to bruise, feel pinched in wraps, or dizziness from spinning and inversions.

    I'd love a breakdown of the optimal pullover. I'm watching the first few seconds of the video over and over to watch what you are doing, I'd love it narrated. It looks like you are grabbing at shoulder height, doing a bit of a pullup to get to a tuck, then leaning back and bending at the elbows whole holding the tuck at 90 degrees until you are over, and then it becomes more shoulder movement and inertia. What else am I missing?

  • @theaerialistsguide
    @theaerialistsguide3 ай бұрын

    Hey there! Yeah, you got it! I do have a video you can check out breaking down "the optimal pullover" here 😊: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jKSCxMyBqsuWl7w.htmlsi=Hw6RhaJEkJamL8yS The big key is that kind of upside down pull up. Nobody really explained that part to me back in tumbling class and it took me forever to get a pullover. But I realized later it was just that I needed to make sure my hips were above the bar (or hammock in this case) before you can start tilting back. You can also do it with some momentum swinging your legs up into that pike or tuck position while simultaneously doing the pull up and tilt back. I hope this helps!

  • @theaerialistsguide
    @theaerialistsguide7 ай бұрын

    Of course! I actually got this silk from a studio I used to work at when they were giving away the "retired" silks. They would get it from a fabric store in LA...not so helpful, I know 🙈. But they sell the same fabric online now (cut to length). I recommend calling or emailing just to make sure it's in stock and they can ship to you. qizzup.myshopify.com/products/aerial-silks-new Another favorite for aerial supplies is Aerial Essentials. I haven't personally gotten a silk from them, but their hardware is great and they are a trustworthy business :) I hope this helps!

    Totally understandable! Doing a full rotation (or more!) can be a bit intimidating. I usually have to “walk myself down” a couple of times first.
