Rola Bola props

Rola Bola acts may be seen all around the globe in various circuses and variete shows. But it is quite hard for the artists to find correct props for rola bola. Basically Rola bola is any cylindrical body, logs, even automobile wheels can serve as a prop for this act. We wold not advise to use only bottles, because there is a big chance to break bottle and get injured.
Now online there are many offers on the sale of imported plastic rola bola, here at Red Circle Shop online store, we do not sell plastic rola bola props but instead we have another great offer for our clients – duralumin rola bola. This is the best choice for any circus performer. This type of rola bola is quite difficult to manufacture, especially in unique curved shape we are making them. Also, on request for non curved type we can make them to be inserted into each other to take up a minimum of space.
Lot’s of professional artists recommend duralimin or even stainless steel rola bola props over plastic. You can order great rola bola here at red Circle Shop online store at decent prices and receive special discount for performing artists.
The diameters of the coils are the most diverse, whoever finds what, on those and stand, from 100 mm. Up to 250 mm. and higher. It should be borne in mind when buying coils that it is optimal to have five coils. Three of them should be larger in diameter and two smaller, let’s call them workers. Coils of larger diameter are placed vertically, they serve as a support and separation of one working coil from another and the larger the diameter of these coils, the easier it is to stand. But the higher they are, the more difficult. More than five can be acquired if you have several people who want to work in this genre or have a desire to build high pyramids. The principle of five coils remains with any construction. You can put two verticals side by side, and on top of each other, anyway the rule is one; one working coil stands across the second along. And all the piles only increase the danger of falling and nothing more. A record in the construction of 11 coils (I. Protsenko, N. Vdovenko). We must not forget that vertical coils can be replaced with other objects, and this is not limited to directorial imagination. Usually the lower working coil is standing, rolling forward backward, and the second working coil is rolling from right to left, but this is not an axiom and vice versa. This applies to the construction of three to five coils and above. The trick, when two working coils are standing together, on top of each other, is rarely found in numbers, it is used to train five coils. This is due to the fact that in such a construction, the contact between them is practically one point, and therefore, in addition to the usual balance, a poorly controlled rotation is added. In normal construction, between the working coils there is always a vertical coil, or some object. This is for coils.

Now about the boards that are above and below. They are usually made of plywood 10-15 mm thick. Sometimes a strap is attached at the end to limit the movement of the coil. This helps in the initial stage of training to reduce the number of falls. In the future, it is removed, since on three coils and above it is not needed. Another requirement for boards, they must create a good grip on the coil and not spin on it. To do this, sometimes a small recess is made along the middle of the board so that the coil rolls at two edges. Sometimes a layer of electrical tape is wound on the coil around the edges for the same purpose. If you make the board thinner, and it will bend a little, then you can do without these tricks. The best option is bakelite plywood eight millimeters. It is unnecessary to polish the boards or somehow process them. Sometimes the bottom board is slightly bent so that the coil additionally tends to the center. But this gives an effect only when using stairs mounted on the top board and in group work on the reel. On a reel, they often use the construction of pyramids from the same boards, between which are placed glasses, glasses, coils and much more that you can think of. Usually this is done to lengthen the number due to a lack of tricks. There is such a variant of the board, it is made as a blotter semicircular, but this is already like a trick complication.

Performers often work on pedestals to enhance the impression of danger. It makes no sense to describe their design; they are the most diverse. Most often they use the same pedestals on which plastic sketches work. It is only important that the pedestal is strong and does not fall apart when jumping from five coils onto it. Especially for coils, pedestals are made, more often, for professionals they are usually high and involve high-class performers. Able to fall from a height with the collapse of coils. In the pedestal, a foot device is usually provided in the form of a step to rise to the height of the coils and a device to hold on to some support, more often a pipe, which is inserted into the pedestal. These devices help with the development of a large number of coils and when working in pairs on five coils.

In addition to the listed devices, a device is used to rotate on three or five coils, it is specially made or the “Health disk” is used, sometimes supplying it with an additional ratchet and dog so that it rotates only in one direction. As a ratchet, you can offer a wrench with a ratchet, it is cut off, and there are no problems with springs. You can attach a brake made of rubber to the side of the health disk, and rotation will be possible only when the coil is jerked, which also has its difficulties,
