The STREB Lab for Action Mechanics opened its garage door more than 10 years ago and, shortly thereafter, founded The España Streb Trapeze Academy. The school reaches kids and adults, five years and older, with a range of experience—working with everyone, from absolute beginners to advanced flyers and helping students achieve individual goals, improve form, and develop style. This program provides a space for exploration, development, and risk.
 
We’ve had our current airbag-style landing system for about 6 years now. That 800 pounds of tarp has served us well, but it’s time to upgrade our equipment. After a lot of research and planning, we’ve decided on a unique system developed by Freddy Osler, a manufacturer in New Zealand, whose designs are used worldwide. With input from Noe España of the famed flying Españas, we have co-designed a landing system with Osler that will revolutionize the possibilities on our rig. This innovative design cradles the body, no matter how you hit the mat—head dives, belly smacks, cannon balls. Plus, the new mat comes with new motors that are much quieter than our current blowers, so you’ll be able to hear the music better, and, of course, your instructors.

STREB/SLAM is a not-for-profit organization. We work hard to make our programing accessible, with a commitment to open access and engagement and keeping prices low. We count on a community of supporters to make our work possible.

The España Streb Trapeze Academy needs your help to raise the funds to bring this beast of a system to SLAM. Every donation helps. Get ready to fly high and crash comfortably. Thank you and see you in the air!
