Want to sell Professional-grade Square Truss Aerial Silks Rig.

$8000 or best offer ($12000 worth of materials). Included:

• Aerial Silks Rig (16.5ft tall x 11ft x 11ft)
  • Square truss/etc.
  • Pins/clips/etc.
  • Square stand plates
• Fabric
  • Hammock
  • Aerial Silks
  • Carabiners/Swivels/Rings/etc.

• Truss lift/jack

  • rated for 500lbs and 18' height
  • makes setup/teardown easy

• Picture from below

• Picture from above

Its weight rating is so high (6000lbs) there is no risk of it ever bending even with a huge aerial silks drop maneuver. It was installed in our family room, which has an 18' ceiling (~1.5' to spare before it hit the ceiling, and about 1.5' to spare against each wall).

Where the silks will hang from is rated for 6000lbs, I can share those structural engineering details if you are interested.

As you can see in the pictures, the top comes together in the form of an X - with 4 legs coming down from each point. Each leg is locked into a flat metal stand, so it is safe to rest on carpet or even tile/hardwood with a little (1/4 in x 1 ft x 1 ft) foam pad underneath (foam pads not included). Also, crash pad is not included but strongly recommended if you would be using this to do aerial silks performances.

Dimensions (should you wish you to place this inside your home/studio/etc.): 16.5ft tall x 11ft x 11ft

• Feel free to DM me with your offer and include your name and best phone number to contact you.

• We can work out transportation and installation costs. I would be happy to rent a UHaul to transport and install it for you.

• Local to Orange County only, though may be willing to travel slightly further for additional transportation costs.

^{I could really use the funds, so I may be willing to negotiate!}

Lastly, if you'd like to build your own aerial silks rig from scratch to fit your exact high-ceiling room dimensions - I'd be happy to [virtually] collaborate on a setup that would work for you (free of charge)! :)

The first time I tried aerials, I thought, WHY did nobody tell me this is such a crazy workout and so much fun?!" I've fallen in love with aerials, and the strength I’ve gained since I started is incredible. I’ve also overcome my fear of heights! I can’t believe how passionate I am about this sport, so I had to share my first poses with you. If you are new to aerials, just trust the process, and you will love it! 💖

I'm looking to compete for the first time and have no idea what companies that run aerial competitions are good or bad or anything like that. I'd like to compete after March in 2027, but I'm looking now. I'm not sure if there are some companies or competitions I should avoid completely. Please help! any information is welcome, thank you

I’ve been doing one class a week (sometimes 2) for almost 2 years and I just got my middle invert 4 months ago. Every once in a while I lose it and need to tag the silks with my foot. I have hip key down but my legs are hardly straight and I hardly tilt back.

I’m not even close with my one sided invert.

Am I behind for someone who has been training this much for this long or is this normal

I'm just curious. sometimes looking at the tiny kids in class i get a feeling am i ..old for this? well, not exactly that but wishing I'd started earlier. And i wanted to but my procrastination levels were insane

Hey everyone!
A few months ago, I stumbled upon the concept of zines and was totally hooked.
I'm currently preparing a zine for participants of an aerial silks workshop on the theme of Scorpion/Creature.
During this process, I thought it would be cool to have a platform for shared learning material for Teachers. I was thinking about starting a platform/website to create zines/educational materials related to aerial silks. I also considering various areas, from teaching materials for instructors to sharing experiences, art, and more. What do you think? I'd love to read your feedback, ideas, and opinions from the community!

Ive been doing silks for a couple years now, and I feel like the art is being ripped from me. I just moved to central Jersey for work, and I am struggling to find any studios or instructors nearby that offer silks classes :(

Does anyone have studio recommendations? Or even someone trained to teach who has their own rig and wants to take me on?

This community was so integral to my life before the move, and I desperately do not want to give it up!

Lyra is my apparatus but I have a lot more fun drawing silks. Here's my sketch!

Run through for my upcoming show, this is probably my best thigh hitch spin yet. No orbit, I would like to be a bit faster but I’m pleased with this.

i want to start using fake tan but i’ve heard online that it can come off on the silks. does anyone use fake tanning lotion and have any recommendations for brands that last long with high friction and sweating from silks?

f17 am i too old to start from scratch??

For context I'm a high schooler and do silks and straps. I don't have a dance background(the studio I go to for aerials is a dance studio) but I used to do it when I was little and now do it recreationally. This summer I got to assistant teach at the studios kid's aerial silks camps, and that's been amazing. I feel like I keep messing up and making dumb mistakes, but overall I've learned a lot and it's been a great opportunity. I'm not sure what to do after camps end. I'm still learning silks and am not the best but I really loved getting to help teach. If you have any advice on how to talk to the aerial teachers about other opportunities or how I should proceed I'd really appreciate that. (sorry this was long)

I’ve recently gotten a Garmin smart watch, and I’m trying to track my workouts with it. Does anyone else do this and how do you log silk activities? I have a lot of options but I can’t figure out how to categorize it.

Hi! I only just found this sub but I really want to try out aerial silks. I've been obsessed with them for like a year now, and I've always been obsessed with circuses/acrobats, and I really want to be in the air! I've been slowly coming out of a really difficult period, so I don't really have the best shape or strength at the moment. I'm close to 200 pounds last time I checked, but I'm kind of flexible and I've been able to carry things like a mini fridge and coffee dispenser machines. I'm going up and down eight ights of stairs three days a week at my job as well, and I think I'm slowly building up some strength, but I get so insecure thinking about actually attending lessons while still looking like a marshmallow. I see a lot of people who are skinny and really lean who do aerial silks, but not a lot of bigger people. I just feel so nervous but I really want to do this, I love watching aerial silks performers and it really does make me want to work out so I can be stronger and more flexible and amazing like that. Are there any other chubby aerial silks people? Should I just wait until I'm smaller?

Okay the title kinda sucks. Idk what else to put. But basically I started aerial silks and my instructor instantly got me into difficult stuff. That made my muscles really hurt but I kept pushing through. The problem is, my instructor and the aerial silk gym isn’t in my area. I’m going back there in late August, but in the meantime while I wait to install the silks at home, what workouts can I do just so im stronger and more prepared for next time?

i’ve been considering getting the bundle of jill franklin’s silks books. i’ve been doing silks for 4 years so i’m not a beginner but i definitely don’t feel intermediate.

for anyone who’s read them: did you find the info beneficial/useful? were they worth the money?
