Nah, plenty of folks here use it. But I also practice low-level aerial work at home, and unfortunately a big horkin’ steel bar’s ability to withstand thousands of half-falls without failing wins out over the undeniable aesthetic qualities of a bamboo beam.
Yeah true. You have to be really careful with those rods. Expensive too. I was just wondering because the local shibari community is 100% bamboo 🤭 well except when they use a ring. Those usually have the bdsm symbol in it.
It’s a popular material! Well seasoned bamboo cant be beat for aesthetics. Sadly my ceilings are too low to do any ringwork, it just sacrifices sooo much vertical space.
And aerial circus arts / aerial dance! I’m not terribly good, but it’s a decent workout and there’s a big local circus art community so its becoming a fun side hobby. Lots of overlap with suspension, too.
