| has gloss | eng: The Spanish web is an aerial circus skill involving a long, cloth-covered rope with a loop attached near the top. The performer climbs and inserts their foot or their wrist into the loop. Below, a spinner, or web sitter, spins the rope. Centrifugal force holds the aerial performer mostly horizontal as they move their body in relation to the spinning rope. They can release the spinning rope and spin separately at the same speed as the rope. Some people also spin at a different speed to the rope going around, on their own axis as well as the rope's. This requires the loop to be attached to the rope via a device that can twist, such as a swivel. |
