spotting beginners on Giants

If you can get two spotters on a real Bar, this is my favourite.

  • one spotter low — holding the wrist
  • one spotter high — shaping the gymnast while they flip the wrists

Gymnova’s new pink Bars rail

NATURAL FIBRE HANDRAIL

Fibreglass hand rails covered with natural fibre. This material is more malleable than wood so the covering is more consistent, which increases its lifespan.

Its texture also allows gymnasts to get excellent grip with less bar preparation time. In use, less chalk is needed on these rails.

Two types available competition and training. The Training rail Ref 3268 is pink,  this colour makes it easier to see when first learning releases. The competition bar is a natural fibre colour.

The pinkish training rail is also slightly smaller diameter.
