Cyr Wheel Tutorial: Waltz (Cyr Wheel 101)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 тра 2013
- Yup after many requests, here it is! How to waltz or Cyr Wheel 101. In this video i go over symmetry in the wheel, the roll by start, and how to propel your waltz to infinity and beyond!
*LIST OF THINGS I FORGOT TO MENTION IN THE VIDEO*
1)If you spin to the right you're gonna have to translate this video from leftish to rightish
2)Stand on your "tippy-toes"/"ball of foot" this lets you use your ankle, a whole extra joint for balance!
3)HOMEWORK: There are 4 ways you can trust your weight, find them all! (Hint: 2 of them are done with the body in front of the wheel!) - Навчання та стиль
I really appreciate how u slowwwwwlyyy go through each detail. I do not learn from quick movements so your style is 'perfect' for me. Thanks so very much!
Thx for your teaching. I live in Hong Kong,since in Hong Kong I am the only one who own and learning cyr wheel, so there no right way to learn. And I am afraid it will easily get injury if learning in wrong way. so hope you can have more teaching videos to help me to learning this art. Thx so much.
thank you for this introduction! this is my first instructional video that i've watched so far. looking forward to getting started with my wheel with your technique
this is great! I've had 3 classes at my local circus school, but love how you really break things down. Love to see how you're working in such a small space, too- gives me hope for my garage.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! It's the most detailed wallz tutorial I've found. Will try it out tomorrow with my wheel. (fingers crossed!)
I started to learn Cyr Wheel in my college here in Brazil, and i'm super lost about how give spinning to it. Now i'm going to try the things i've seen on this video and i hope it works. Thank you for the help !
I never thought I'd find a tutorial of this. Thank you very much, you are awesome! :D
Best cyr instruction video I've ever found. Thanks so much for making this. I'm starting to learn now. Please post more instructional videos as you have the time for you truly have a gift for teaching!
Finally got my wheel in today. Watched your tutorial and managed to not look like a total ass the first time trying it :p Only used it for a few minutes though since it is late already. Just wanted to thank you for the helpful videos.
Very helpful video, thank you! There aren't a whole lot of cyr wheel tutorials out there so I was very glad to find this.
Thanks man, just got a Cyr Wheel for my b-day can't wait to start figuring it out this was a great video!
Thanks for the video! This is a very different technique than I've been learning, but I've really been struggling, so I'll give this a shot. Thanks!
Thank you freedomcaller for your great wheel tutorials. I just recently purchased a cyr wheel and am learning to use it by myself. I haven't found a scene in Victoria b.c. Where I live. I appreciate the way you explain all the details so well and thoroughly. It's been a punishing learning curve bit I think it's coming along. 3 weeks in and I still can't quite figure out how to waltz. Getting close though. Cheers.
Hey thanks! The way you explained it was great, easily understood, can't wait to begin :)
Thanks for doing these videos! This one really helped me get my waltz.
Thks for this tutorial. Im Brasilian performer and this is nice to learn.
Your videos are very helpful. Thank you. (From a guy who is new to Spinning).
Thanks for posting this man. It helped me out so much.
enormously helpful and thorough
Thank you! You are the best!
Very helpful, thanks. You have a good sense of instruction; conveying information in a number of different ways, and anticipating what might not be clear to a newbie. As one develops a skill, it's easy to completely forget that what used to be the hardest elements even exist.
It's almost like it's yer job or somethin'.
very cool! thanks so much for this tutorial!
Its been a slow gradual process with the harder moves requiring more and more muscles. At no point did i stop and say i need to lift weights or im not strong enough, but at first a long watlz session was a bit of a workout, then things like hangs and flags really worked my muscles, and now ill work on handwaltzes for like an hour or two and that's a workout. Since i started last September, I've lost like 10lbs and gained a bunch of muscle, you can probably see the diff in my old videos vs new.
thanks for this video,it was quite helpfull...
Thanks for the video!
A tut on how to pump up the speed would be cool :}
Cheers!
Thank you!! 💕
thank you!! i really want to get it! still having a hard time..
Much appreciated!
Awesome video
Thanks for the well done video.
I made my own wheel after looking at a ton of "how to"s.
It's kind of obvious that not many newcomers understand the construction of the wheel.
I would appreciate any constructive corrections, but this is how I built mine, successfully the very first time. :0)
I Bought two 20' sections of 1/4" thickness (wall) 1.5" aluminum tubing from a metal supplier, (or a welding company) $75 each ( 2 for two wheels)
One inexpensive manual roller bender for 1.5" pipe from Northern Freight Co. ($95)
50 feet of 1.5" (ID) by 2" (OD) clear PVC Tubing from WW Grainger Supply for $150. ( that's enough for two wheels) and the minimum order available is 50'.
Bending the tubing is not too difficult for two people. but there is definitely a trick to doing it right the first time.
Secondly, sliding on the PVC outer cover is a cast Iron bit(h, but there is a trick to that too. I will gladly share my tricks but I don't want to make the worlds longest comment here.
I would have had a lighter wheel with a thinner wall pipe (tubing) but the risk of puckering the tube as you bend it is greater. My wheel weighs about 30 lbs, and I have heard that heavier is better for learning on, but don't know if I still believe it.
Any comments or questions?
Again, thanks for your experience, knowledge and examples.
We from India can send you ready wheel at lower cost. I am using it. Pl send enquiry to sudhirpgokhale@gmail.com.We can send photos o it .
hi! Im trying to get some waltz spins but im stuck because i cant get speed so after very few turns i end up stopping...any other advice? Great video, if u're still performing can i request a coin video? It's the other thing that i just cant figure out how to not die :P
I like your tutorial, I am still having problems keeping my waltz for more than a couple turns before i have to step out, any tips?
Thanks man it really helps me 🖖🖖🖖
Thanks a lot dude, you make my day ! I'm learning cyr wheel for almost 2 weeks, practicing every day, and I'd really like to thank you for all your tutorials ! Just one question : Is there plastic on your wheel ? PVC ? I saw you practicing outside, what kind of ground was it ? Mine has a protection made of rubber "caoutchouc", it's almost already dead and it doesn't slide very good. Thanks for answering.
Lots of energy to you !
A good quality PVC tube material works. A good surface on which you practice definitely helps. I do my practice on this wheel regularly. Enquire at sudhirpgokhale@gmail.com
Hi!!
Tell me please, how heavy your cyr wheel is.
My first wheel was aluminum and it was 4 kilograms.
Than I made stainless wheel and started spin better because of heavy (9 kilograms).
Hello!
Minimum weight of Cyr is something around 11-14 kg (aluminium) max 20-25 (steel)
If is weight lower than this wheel is not safe and can easly bend.
if the inner diameter of your cover is bigger then the outer diameter of your wheel whats gonna hold it in place?
hey guys and girls! I am a girl and I really want to start with the cyr wheel! It would be perfect if I could use the wheel inside and outside. What kind of wheel should I buy for the beginning and where?
Thank U 4 Ur help!
Good tutorial :)
Nice video. My prob would be that all the spins would make me dizzy. Other than that, it looks like alot of fun.
how much do one of them cost and i have short arm and legs do u thank i will still be able to do it it looks like so much fun
how do you get the correct size for your height? i'm like 5'0/5'1 btw
You're an AMAZING teacher !!!! Even took us through how to start the spin no feet on the wheel, then progress. I still do not have a wheel. Not for $3,000. I'll have to make my own, somehow. Any help on getting used/ cheap/ DIY/ wheel??
Buy one from Anton on Etsy for $400 shipped. He's in the Ukraine.
Thanks !!! I found this. I hope it's correct.

yep
How to Accelerate the wheel? You use the hands for that or use the your legs to wheel turn more fast?
Sooooo ... is it possible for anyone to learn how to use a cyr wheel? I'm reading comments and see that people are talking about making their own. Do you recommend that or do you suggest just looking for a custom made product? Thank you!
1: are you based in Seattle? You look familiar af. 2: I've been drilling this move for a while, the sweetest thing is what I've needed to know
Jordan E. Todd I am, are u stalking me? 😂🤣
Would it be better to have the tape covering on the cyr when practising outside? I just got mine and I'm not sure if I should order the covering, but I'm also afraid I might damage the cyr if I practise without extra covering.
Nice
Yeah my wheel has a coating, you want a coating unless your spinning on a surface that is too grippy like really soft marley or something.
well i don't put my hand on the floor, i put it on the wheel. and even if i did put it on the floor i deff don't put the wheel on top of it, why would i want my hand under the wheel? and even if i did for some reason put my hand on the floor and then put the wheel on top of it i deff wouldn't step on wheel to crush my fingers.
I'm a hooper/fire performer and I'm interested on getting a cyr wheel and learning that too. I notice that Cyr wheels come in many different sizes... How do you determine the right size for you without physically standing in it (I plan to order one online). Any input at all would be really helpful, thanks!
The retailer should ask for your height and the wheel will be custom made for you :) I just got my wheel at Circus Concepts.
thank you very much for your video, it really helped me, but a have one question:
today I did some spining session of nearly one minute(after 5 spin yesterday), and now I feel bad(like a hangover).
Is it normal?
Do you have a solution?
How much stronger do you think practicing the cyr has made you?
Where do you guys get the cyr wheel? Or is it just a hula hoop
How do you keep from smasing your hands/fingers when you go upside diwn?
where did you learn how to do all of this???? thanks!!!!
Is it tougher altogether to work with powder coated cyr wheels than cyr wheels that have a regular finish, or does it not matter?
regardless of the paint job/finish, all wheels should be covered in PVC.
Any tips on inversions?
What would you recommend for a surface to use the wheel on? I've heard dance floors and hardwood like you've got here is ideal, but I don't have anything like that at home. Is a rubber-ish, gym floor ok? And how about outdoors on concrete? I'd just be afraid of putting too much wear and tear on my wheel.
+Cormac Gillis Rubberish floors are usually too grippy, but you never know if you don't try. Any out door surface will start to grind down your wheel much faster than indoor surfaces. That said there are good outdoor surfaces and bad ones. The good ones are smooth painted tennis and basketball courts or polished concrete (more of an indoor surface tbh). Asphalt and regular concrete will really wear down your wheels skin fast. But the easiest way to tell a good outdoor surface from a bad one is how well the wheel spins. If your wheel slows to a stop after like one or two spins then the surface is too rough/grippy, and is probably chewing up your wheel.
+freedomcaller Alright, thank you very much! I'll keep in mind and try to seek something out that'll work. :)
+Cormac Gillis If you practice outdoors enough to wear down a skin to the point of replacement, you'll more than deeply enough in the cyr wheel hole to fork over the cash for re-skinning and maybe even a second wheel. If your often on on surfaces that are too rough you'll end up favoring rolling tricks to spinning tricks.
Where can I buy a wheel?
cant really give you advice on this, I'm not a doctor. But if it is just standard dizzy, you should build up a tolerance after a while.
how do I add a motor to this...
This guy converted one to a monocycle.

where do u get such a wheel? can it be broken down to put in a car for transportation???? thanks!!!!!!
You get this on a website that sells cyr wheels such as Circus Concepts. The wheel is usually broken down into 3-5 parts and many bolts to put it together, the amount of the parts depends on the maker and model of the wheel.
sheila klassen You can also get perfect in beautiful color cyr-wheel on my father's website Ateliers RB

Great vid! We have now added Cyr to our line-up of circus gear. If anyone is interested: www.coggscircus.com
Watch all of freedom caller's videos-- he's a great instructor!
Um, Val, instead of just being a troll princess, how about some insight, a video, or something positive?
David Schultz: I did not feel that Val was trolling.
Check out this artist. She is TALENTED. Many years of work. Sheis just letting us know that the technique isn't quite on target. You should look at her performances from her website. She has "technique" down, brother. Her execution is simply flawless. Would love it, I agree, if she could pitch i in some corrections/pointers. However, I still stand by my first statement.....this artist,Val Inertie, isn't a troll. Everyone look her up....damn she's GOOD!
