Come join Ropeosaur for an advanced workshop all about body bamboo suspensions. Starting with a team-building exercise, tying pairs will work together to achieve a body bamboo pretzel suspension (photo reference https://fetlife.com/users/7692000/pictures/156716459)
We will utilize the techniques we learned in the intro class to create the wildest bamboo ball our minds (and bodies) can imagine. (See www.obligerope.org/special-leap for tickets or access to the livestream/recording at www.obligerope.org/leap-livestream)

This adrenaline-fueled challenge will leave the person receiving rope feeling more ‘bondaged’ than ever before!

After a short lunch break, we will shift our focus to more dynamic ties; learning 1-2 upper body bamboo ties and several lower body bamboo ties that utilize bamboo as the suspension component. The remainder of the time will be spent soaring our partners through the air with their new bamboo attachments, while feedback is provided from the instructor.

This Workshop will be In-Person Only and very limited spots available

Attendees will need to know how to tie a clove hitch, icicle hitch, and bamboo lashing techniques (These will be cover at the special LEAP class: Body Bamboo 101 on Friday 12/1 and are available on the Oblige Livestream/recording)
You will also need to know how to tie both a moon tie (or some other hip harness variation that can be single pointed via inversion) as well as an arms free chest harness.

Please bring your complete rope kit consisting of your safety shears, at least 6 uplines, (1 POSH or other synthetic) 12 complete lengths (~26/30feet), and ~6 half lengths. I encourage you to bring your “shorties” to experiment with what lengths work best for you for tying to bamboo! The bamboo pieces will be provided by Oblige for class use and available for purchase after class for $75 -All Dark Bamboo-(3) 4’x1.5”, (2) 3’x1.25”, (1) 6’x1.5” -$75 Message us directly before hand and we can reserve a set for you. If you need more rope, Oblige will have plenty to barrow or buy, including POSh up-lines.

We suggest brining your own snacks, bagged lunch and beverages. Oblige will have snacks and beverages for sale just in case. It is also gets cold in the space durning instruction periods. Consider bringing a blanket to keep yourself warm.
