Wow this was sooooo help full

[@jordanmelody]

[@wroxart4590]

hi, love the video! even with the really easy drops i always get too scared to do it... any tips?

[@zss15]

OMG I love it I have a silk in my back yard and I am also wanting to do my tricks

[@juliannglashan7373]

Omg thank you so much for the Help it took me a long time to try and find the one that’s

[@UniqueAerialists]

I'm so pleased you found this useful!

[@kristinebersold5664]

the first on dosent really hurt but is really fun.

[@Leyjackson5]

I love your video may I ask a question, when ever I do jocks drop I struggled to keep silks in back of knees when I drop so you have any tips ? Thank you

[@UniqueAerialists]

Yes it's so easy for the silks to bounce out of the back of your knees! This usually happens if you tuck your hips back or bring your knees slightly forward when you bend them. Try to keep a straight line from your shoulders, through your hips to your knees, make sure you bend at your knees and not your hips. Hope that makes sense!

[@MelGetmanova]

How long did it take you to get to this point ? Did you add regular core strengthening exercises in ?

[@zuzannagolinska5190]

Will you make more videos with figures on the knot?♥️

[@Ds-tb7qp]

how tall are you ceilings? I was thinking of purchasing a 13 foot trapeze rig and I was wondering if I could do what you do on it. I love your videos thank you for making them.

[@UniqueAerialists]

thanks! the ceiling is about 15ft :)

[@kevinjohn7677]

i love the song you use

I love you Videos

[@Lin0994]

What type of Ariel swing is best for tricks I am going to get one and start practicing flips

[@user-kn6qe4lb8k]

I was just wondering, when doing some drops would they hurt the first couple times?

[@diycontortiongirl4208]

On the first one I'm too scared to let go any advice?

[@UniqueAerialists]

Drops are scary! Walk yourself through it as many times as you need to help your mind understand the pathway, go into the start position and the end position to get used the feel of them both and have a spotter to make sure you have everything in the right place :) good luck!

[@diycontortiongirl4208]

Thank you so much that really helped!

[@ariasage1671]

keep your back leg straight and as far down as possible!

[@aubree7506]

thats the first drop i ever learned. if u did it right u will be just fine, but instead of dropping slowly roll urself down.

[@kirraandersonnn]

i have no advice because i'm never really scared to let go, but maybe just close your eyes and count down from 3, and let go.

[@emilyhensley7868]

Hi I’m very new to the aerial silks can you do some instructional videos of you talking through the step of some moves I have the climbs and stuff and I have the straddle on the knot and stuff like that but I would like to be challenged with harder stuff

[@UniqueAerialists]

I'll definitely get something filmed when I get chance! :)

[@chasevanderwerff6033]

how do you tie that knot so well.when I tie the knot it always comes apart.

[@UniqueAerialists]

Hi lovely, this is the tutorial I have explaining how to tie the knot :) academy.uniqueaerialists.com/courses/locks-and-inverts/lectures/11482586

[@portcharlotte8640]

Do we need to have a drop pad? Because I don’t have the money I have a silk tho I’m wondering what else I could use

[@mielasaiarra]

For some reason I get so scared to do the straddle drop even though I can do drops from much higher up do u have any tips for getting over fears

[@Maddie-vr4fh]

I have tried the straddle drop a few times and I just fall forward instead of doing a full flip, any tips?

[@-viviangrace-9500]

Super amazing video! Question though - after doing the drops one after another for about 20 minutes, my sides and inside of my thighs start to burn. I usually wear long pants btw. Any recommendations?

[@-viviangrace-9500]

Also another question - do you have any suggestions about how to be more “neat” during these drops? Sometimes my legs fly, sometimes the silk tails have flown onto my face during the drops (that is what I mean).

[@emmalucas5379]

0:46 Right here all the pressure is on the back and inner side of my right thigh and every time I try it it hurts a lot and I get a new bruise. What am I doing wrong here?

[@Mycatsname.iskiki]

I’m really struggling with the skin the cat drop what’s an easy way to flip on to your belly?

[@spicy..mushroom2216]

Does getting up hurt?

[@zoyzoy1907]

Hi, I understand the whole process af getting into the whole drop, but I can't do the drop because of the hieght of my silks and my roof. Its really short. Can you do a video on how to do knot drops but with less hieght? Thanks!

[@UniqueAerialists]

Hi! There are loads of tutorials for various knot drops on academy.uniqueaerialists.com :) hope that helps!

[@zoyzoy1907]

@@UniqueAerialists Ok thanks! i love your videos they are really helpful!

[@EveofMadness]

if you don't mind me asking how tall is your ceiling. I'm thinking of starting to do aerial silks but I want to know what would be a good height to be able to do stuff like this

[@UniqueAerialists]

The ceiling in this studio is around 14ft :)

[@hisokaswife2819]

Could you do a video where you show us how to set them up? 💕

[@UniqueAerialists]

Hi! Yes the tutorial for tying the knot is here academy.uniqueaerialists.com/courses/locks-and-inverts/lectures/11482586 the tutorials for the drops are here academy.uniqueaerialists.com/p/drops-and-rolls-silks hope that helps! If you mean rigging the silks, I hired someone to rig mine for me as I'm not knowledgeable about building structures etc to do it myself, I would always recommend you do the same or buy a rig :)

[@laurelmitchell6901]

Hey. I am looking to get into doing aerial silks and stuff like that. I am thinking about just getting one of the aerial hammock things and just do that for a while. I also want to learn how to do stuff with the silks and not the hammock thing. My only problem is I want to save money and not buy a bunch of stuff that I don't really need. Can I just get the silks and tie a knot in them and use it as one of the hammock things or would that not work? To me they seem like the same if you just tie a knot. Please let me know.

[@UniqueAerialists]

Hi using a hammock vs using silks with a knot tied definitely feels different, but you can do a lot of hammock moves on the silks using a knot :)

[@visionfrogg]

Can u do half Cleo it's a hocks drop but since your legs start like a straddle drop u add a straddle drop after

[@UniqueAerialists]

I don't think I've tried but it sounds amazing!

[@ksy_purucha8049]

Hello, really interested what's the song name is Can somebody help me pls?

[@selbbbb5837]

Hi💖 As I am doing ‘front dive’, I can’t seem to grab the silks as fast as you do after I drop and also it’s not a smooth drop like yours. Do you have any tips?

[@Mycatsname.iskiki]

I’ll just awnser this for u so basically just hold on the whole time while your turning and then hold it like u would in the Strattle drop then let go and you should fall forward hope this helped :)

[@hannabanks6162]

For the first drop that you do and with many others, what is the skill called when the silk is in a triangle looking thing on your hip area?

[@SunnyAGDolls]

Hanna Banks I believe your talking about hip key on a seated knot 😁

[@hannabanks6162]

Ok thanks!

[@mischibooze]

How high is your ceiling that you are able to do drops on and off the knot? :)

[@UniqueAerialists]

This ceiling is about 15ft :)

[@LovelyMissBrenda]

What's the name of the song playing?

[@UniqueAerialists]

LovelyMiss Brenda it's All The Same by Cacti :)

[@suspiciousyolk1877]

can my silks be too short? every time i try to do these at my home, then the silk tightens around my leg and it’s too painful to do.

[@UniqueAerialists]

If your silks are too short in that you're having to really squash yourself to fit at the top of the drop then yes this could make them tighter. If that's not the case, then this is usually caused by not pulling up enough. The full tutorials for some of these drops are on academy.uniqueaerialists.com/ :)

[@kellyouellette1413]

Does it work with an aerial hammock too?

[@UniqueAerialists]

Yes!!

[@emmarae6210]

Can you do these on hammocks too?

[@UniqueAerialists]

Yes!

[@alfieallmond4865]

Can you do these drops on hammocks or not?

[@UniqueAerialists]

Yes, you can do all of these using a hammock!

[@Fullyniko]

What's the name of the music

[@OTONAFIT]

🙌🏻✨🔥💛

[@seija5534]

PLEASE HELP so whenever I do the straddle drop I get a TERRIBLE bruise on both of my inner thighs, for some reason I can't get the silk to go right to my groin is this normal or am I just a wuss?

[@UniqueAerialists]

Ouch! The silks are tight so some bruising when you're first learning it is normal, to reduce the bruising make sure your hands are high enough on the poles then really pull up using your arms, straighten your legs and push your legs down. Hope that helps! The in depth tutorial for the straddle drop including the common mistakes and how to avoid them is on academy.uniqueaerialists.com :)

[@clarissacortez250]

How do you get onto the high silk knot ?

[@UniqueAerialists]

You can either climb into it or invert into it, tutorials for various entries into a high knot are on academy.uniqueaerialists.com/

[@bonnieyu6622]

The slack drop... more like my heart dropped! @_@

[@dogfish6864]

Where did you buy those silks? We’re they cheapish?

[@haydencredeur3484]

im getting mine from aerialessentials

[@lillysnow8909]

I recommend amazon, also make sure you get an aerial mat.

[@Mycatsname.iskiki]

It really depends on where you want the silks if you want them inside you have to buy a ceiling attachment and silk which I would say is about: 30-40$

[@Mycatsname.iskiki]

Oh but if you want it outside you have to buy a giant stand and silks which is about 200-400$

[@mixedbymarie712]

How long are your aerial silks?

[@UniqueAerialists]

My ceiling is 4 metres so these silks are 10 metres :)

[@Mycatsname.iskiki]

Does the jocks drop hurt?

[@Mycatsname.iskiki]

*hocks

[@bapp187]

Not usually, just wear correct clothing. Some may feel a bit tight though, you'll get used to it.

[@emilybews3920]

Wait does the slack drop hurt

[@UniqueAerialists]

I thought it would but it's actually fine :)

[@christinetanayah]

I'm not sure what a spotter is I will not be able to have a trainer %100 of the time so I was wondering what a spotter is Is it just someone to watch you incase something goes wrong And/or could it just be my mum????

[@UniqueAerialists]

Hi yes a spotter is someone to assist you while you're training, they can guide you into and out of moves and be ready to help you if something goes wrong. Ideally it should be someone that knows what they are doing as they could get hit/kicked if they're in the wrong place, or they could not realise you need them to hold you if you're struggling or hold you too much :) I hope that explains it!

[@christinetanayah]

Unique Aerialists thank you❤️

[@ariip9092]

Metronome drop and spool drop on the silk knots

[@UniqueAerialists]

I'll have to check those out!

[@majestic_mermaid9197]

There is a move I have been trying to find the name of. It’s where you climb to the top, and start spinning to the bottom while you body is sideways. Does anyone know the name of it? It’s a very famous move

[@UniqueAerialists]

It sounds like it could be a windmill/wheeldown

[@sock3726]

it might be a pencil or a windmill/wheeldown

[@mariajesusvicuna8108]

2:33 why is it called "skin the cat drop"?

[@Katherines_journey]

Never ever put your head back in a hammock slack drop or a knot you can literally choke your self be carful ❤

[@UniqueAerialists]

[@nikolakorzeniewska3709]

Im scaried

[@tvids4221]

The last drop you did it one is called a double 360 and two you didn't even do it right because once you straddle back the second time you supposed to crochet your legs up again and then pull yourself into a seat and then drop and then you go through the fabric two times

You have beautiful eyes
