You'd have to be nuts to try flying trapeze without a trained coach, so it's a given that this book is no substitute. But the book contains plenty of information about trapeze rigs/equipment as well as diagrams showing all of the tricks you can find online in the flying-trapeze.com tricks database. As a novice who recently started taking trap class just for fun, I enjoy seeing a trick illustrated before giving it a try up in the air! Afterward I jot down notes in the book (such as "hips forward") to make it easier to remember what my coach has said.
An invaluable resource if you are at all serious about learning flying trapeze. Walks you through tricks position by position. As a visual learner, it helped me understand how I was supposed to be positioned before I even took my first swing, thus saving time and frustration. Highly recommended.
Great book for my daughter who is planning on a career doing this!!!
not bad.
