Then stick their legs in the bucket and practice circles there. I'm thinking of a swivel hook to get, so the rope doesn't coil itself as you circle. Do you know the best play to buy a swivel hook? Ideally I want to hang it on a chin up bar (ceiling bars, not wall mounted ones obviously) and do circles under it. I already looked at ebay and most of them require drilling holes in ceilings or threading a belt through the top which is not what I want. Thanks.
