We've talked about it for a while. The BMT (Big Metal Thing) is here! Basically, as I wrote in this blog before, the BMT is a free standing trapeze rig. It allows us to set this up anywhere since we don't need to drive stakes for guy wires. In the picture you can see the BMT in pieces. The low wire is in the background (it is set really low...at shows it is set 5' high).
It took Jim and I only about 30 minutes to set it up. And that was the first time. Now since we know how it will go up even quicker at venues. I think it will take more time to unload it than to set it up.
We set it up in the backyard behind my office. Our home has three back yards, the office yard, the play-dog yard and the back 40.
The Office yard is just big enough to fit the 26X23 footprint of the BMT. But the trees around it doesn't permit us to practice flying trapeze swinging and positioning.
But it is great for static trapeze and dance lyra tricks.
Here it is with only two sections of the legs on. There are 4 all together.
The Lyra (that hoop) is already connected as is the cable ladder.
Jim gives it a test. It is so Big that I can't get the whle thing in the picture. The trees keep me from getting a shot from the sides. We will get better pictures and post them later.
