A short Up-rigging video, demonstrating a standard, up-pull, style of aerial arena rigging. This event was for Korn/Slipknot's Prepared For Hell Tour. Music by Slipknot.
Nice video. I'm currently training to be an up rigger. you're very fluid in your movements. Also it's nice to see a video where the up rigger actually pulls the chain up! :)

When you first started rigging/training, how afraid of heights were you? I imagine that more exposure made you less afraid, but what else did you/do you do to be more calm? Was there a point where you started to not get afraid? Do you have any tips or rituals that you do so you don't get tired quickly, or freak out? I guess a major thing too is not dropping pins. Thanks for any tips and advice you might have.

+inalavalamp I worked for a sign company for many years and was always working at height. In my opinion you should be a little bit afraid of heights---a fear of, or respect for, heights is important to work safely above others.

You learn to respect the heights instead of fear them basically. Then just focus on the task at hand. 1- don’t fall (your life and others) 2- don’t drop anything (other people’s life) 3- get the gig done THATS YOUR JOB IN THAT ORDER. When guys loose respect for the heights or prioritize the gig over all else is when bad things happen.

Why no ground-rigger and pulley? :P Also, i see you don't use any lasers for the point adjustment. All by the eye? Impressive videos by the way :-D

What diameter line do you prefer pulling points with in this situation? I like pulling with 5/8", but the rope itself is a bit heavy at 150'. There might be lighter lines out there.. Is there a supplier/store online that you would recommend?
@bigdollarbill

+Kiirjava a quality 5/8" braided poly is my choice for a pulling straight up. There are certain venues when you need to work with rope grabs or other devices that only work on a static or kern-mantle type of line. It's important to shop around and make sure the manufacturer provides all the specs for rope. Recently Home Depot/Lowes have started stocking thinner, less working load rope---make sure you know what you're buying.

Don’t buy your rope from a hardware store. Call up VER Sales or Jack Rubin & Sons in Burbank and let them know what you are looking for and they will hook you up. They also have an IATSE discount.
