  Buying an oversized aerial hoop/lyra?

  Posted by Island in the Sun on May 17, 2012 at 12:49 am

  Hi everyone,
  I've been seriously considering buying an aerial hoop lately, and it just so happens I know someone trying to sell one. One problem: the hoop is 100cm (39 inches) and I'm only 5ft 1" and have only used a 36inch hoop before…
  Anyone have any advice on whether it'll be more difficult to do moves or not worth it to buy a larger than reccommended hoop?

  Yes.  It is not worth it and you will have trouble doing tricks.  The first time I ever used a lyra it belonged to a girl about 6 inches taller than me and the hoop was accordingly larger.  I feel through doing a trick.  You need a hoop that is the right size for you.

  I agree with Elektra. Get one your size, for safety more than anything. I've always felt like I'd fall through the bigger ones not my size.
