TumblTrak vaulting “Porta Table”

At the USA Congress I spoke longer to Doug Davis of TumblTrak than any other vendor. He is as farsighted about equipment innovation as anyone I know.

I was disappointed to hear that my absolute favourite piece of new gymnastics gear was not selling well.

What a shame. This device is fantastic for all gymnasts, especially those training Yurchenkos.

It is a miniature Tumbl Trak, shaped like a vault table. It offers a quick and responsive rebound off the vaulter’s hands. The surface is so forgiving that vaulters can do multiple repetitions without the threat of overuse injuries. It is a safer design that gives the vaulter more confidence to try new skills. The Porta Table also gives the vaulter more air time to perfect technique and can be set up in several stations around the gym.

There are several ways to use the Porta Table.
1. Velcro to the floor going into a pit.
2. Attach to a Porta Base (base sold separately)
3. Velcro to the Tumbl Trak using the Cross Supports (sold separately).
4. Velcro to base blocks and/or spotting blocks.
5. Attach to your existing vault horse base (conversion bracket needed for this set-up which is sold separately).

This is the first piece of equipment I would buy if setting up a new gym.

I think using the sweet spot with cover is actually better than this product and has alot more applications. Its a good product but you can just attach a sweet spot and have more uses than just vault.

Thanks Larry.

I have never had the chance to use a sweet spot air mat. But Doug Davis of TumblTrak told me exactly the same thing. He indicated that the sweet spot was his best value product.

I will try to budget for one in future.
