Hook - Aerial Silk
Information on this article
Description
The unique design of the CIRCUS DIVISION hook features a silicone-coated stainless steel core with no welding or exposed metal parts. It is rigged using a 40 cm ANCHOR LOOP passing through the central hole attached to a carabiner. We always recommend the use of auto-locking carabiners but more experienced users can use the considerably cheaper screw-lock carabiners. Both options are selectable at the time of purchase.
One of the noteworthy advantages of this cylindrical design is that it provides the option to install the silks using the safest and simplest knot of all, the CLOVE HITCH KNOT allowing both to keep the two extremities well separated from each other and to minimize the fabric stress.
-
Twist the fabric on itself in the central part, where you can find the product label, in order to make it more slim and easier to handle
-
Create a loop of approx. 10 cm diameter
-
Create a second loop of equal size right to the left of the first loop. It is important that the 2 loops are made as shown in the picture
-
Overlap the second loop (the one to the left) over the first loop. The CLOVE HITCH KNOT is done.
-
Slide the hook inside the knot. In this phase the fabric is still quite voluminous
-
Pull the ends and adjust the knot so that it thinnes and is well positioned between the two silicone edges
-
Attach the 2 ends of the anchor loop to the carabiner
