does any fish keeper do aerial silks or is it just me?

[ThatFishGirl6231]

if you do tell me your favorite tricks. i’ve been taking a break from my silks class for the summer so i haven’t learned anything new. i have a silk in my backyard and i want to do new things.

what are aerial silks?

@Colin_T
It looks like a form of gymnastics

Wow, that looks like some SERIOUS core training! I think I would put myself in the hospital fairly quickly if I tried that.

 

[I Like Rare Fish]

I tried to. It was impossible.

 

[ThatFishGirl6231]

this is basically what it is. i do a bunch of tricks and drops and stuff. it’s kinda difficult bc i’m a weak 13 year old who has only been doing it like a year. i have that purple silk shown in the picture and there’s another blue one on a different tree to the left.

Looks painful and too much like hard work

didn't cirque du soleil do that stuff about 20 yrs ago?

I’d hazard a guess that it’s just you and @Essjay.

 

[WhistlingBadger44 26]

Kind of looks like something @Slaphppy7 would be into.

If I tried that I'd probably spend the next few months in hospital........

No thanks, I'm scared of heights....

haha ok. i don’t really have very many and i can’t take any bc i’m driving to bass lake. i have a lot of videos but i don’t know how to post them. the last picture is me at my silks class

 

[WhistlingBadger44 26]

Wow, that's impressive. I'd definitely be in the hospital.
