Bubble Aerial Hoop – Unique Design
Product sold individually. Available in three sizes: 90cm, 95cm, 100cm.
Introducing the Bubble Aerial Hoop
The Bubble Aerial Hoop is a precision-designed and innovative aerial performance accessory. Sometimes called a "taco hoop," this unique aerial hoop opens up new possibilities for training and performance . Available in three sizes (90cm, 95cm, 100cm), it offers a compact and safe alternative to traditional aerial hoops.
Made in the UK and fully certified by an independent safety consultancy, the Bubble Hoop combines lightness , durability , and elegant aesthetics . Constructed from 10G steel tubing with a 1-inch (25.4mm) diameter and 3mm wall thickness, this aerial hoop is TIG-welded for maximum strength.
The powder-coated galvanized finish with a matte black coating not only enhances the hoop's appearance but also protects the steel from rust and makes it easy to clean. Ready to use with or without tape, the Prodigy Bubble Hoop is designed to provide a safe and enjoyable experience.
With a working load capacity (WLL) of 160kg when rigged on a simulated anchor point, this aerial hoop ensures safe and reliable use. Whether you're looking to create new tricks, train your grip strength, or add a unique visual dimension to your performances, the Prodigy Bubble Hoop is the perfect accessory.
What diameter aerial hoop should I choose?
The diameter of your aerial hoop is chosen according to your height. When you're sitting on the hoop, there should be 10cm of clearance above your head. You can take this measurement while sitting on a chair (e.g., if the height between the chair and your head is 70cm, then you'll need an aerial hoop with an inner diameter of 80cm). If you're buying for a circus school where several people will be using the same hoop, this clearance can vary slightly and be up to 15cm.
With this method, you'll be sure not to hit your head on the top of the hoop when you're seated. If you're teaching students of varying heights, remember to check that they can't bump their heads before you begin :-).
Adhesive tape coating:
The hoop comes ready to be covered with fabric grip tape. We recommend Prodigy Snake Tape . This grip tape is unique in that it doesn't leave any glue residue on your hands or body, even after intensive use of the hoop. An aerial hoop grip tape is applied from the bottom up. The sides are applied independently and meet in the center at the top.

Who is the bubble aerial hoop for?

Its unique design and three available sizes make it suitable for various spaces and the specific needs of each artist.

How to set up an aerial hoop: the essential conditions
1. Height required for an aerial hoop
To install an aerial hoop, a minimum ceiling height of 4 meters is recommended. This doesn't mean the hoop has to be at that height, but it's essential to have space above and below the hoop to ensure optimal use. With a height of less than 4 meters, you may find your movements restricted, which could lead to frustration. For example, when hanging or standing on the hoop, you'll need enough space to perform movements safely. Swinging the hoop also requires additional space to prevent the equipment from behaving like a simple seesaw.
2. Difference between dynamics and statics
It's important to understand that a body moving on a hoop can exert a force up to three times its weight at rest. When using an aerial hoop, you're constantly in motion, which requires a mounting system capable of supporting much more than your static weight. Therefore, ensure that the mounting system is designed for dynamic loads, not just static ones.
3. Attaching an aerial hoop at home
Safety is paramount: whether for you or your child, the installation of a hoop should not be taken lightly.
Installing an aerial hoop is not something to be undertaken lightly. It is strongly advised to consult a rigging specialist, an architect, or a mason. Every building is unique, with different materials and structures, so it is crucial to ensure that your installation is compliant and safe.
4. Securing an aerial hoop in a professional setting
If you are considering installing an aerial hoop in a professional setting, it is essential to consult experts to conduct a thorough assessment and install the anchor points. Do not take any risks by attempting the installation yourself without the advice of qualified professionals.

Information on returns and exchanges of aerial hoops
We have noticed that many customers order aerial hoops without taking the time to read the description or advice on choosing the right size.
In case of a sizing error, you will be responsible for all return and shipping costs for a replacement hoop. Please note that these costs can be high, as an airline hoop exceeds standard carrier dimensions.
To avoid any inconvenience, please don't hesitate to contact us before your purchase if you have any questions. Our team is easily reachable by phone (which is rare these days!) , and we'll be happy to advise you.
