new gymnastics pits in Canada

Yellowknife Gymnastics Club completes the first gymnastics pit north of 60!!!!

Nice.

But I wonder if there are more northerly pits in Russia or Scandinavia.

My home gym, Altadore, completely renovated both pits. New foam base. New edging. New (mostly) foam cubes.

They had considered the new Jim Walker pit system, but eventually opted for the simpler upgrade.

Most people in my club haven’t seen a pit in their lives. Some of the lucky ones get to use a small one from time to time that is in a gym 150 km away. This is in Galicia, Spain. Yet, we manage to take kids to Worlds in acrobatic gymnastics, trampoline and tumbling. We do the best we can in artistic gymnastics considering we pretty much have no material.
I hope all of you that have last generation foam pits (or any kind of pit, for that matter) really appreciate what you’ve got.
