Flip Smart Matting System

With new additions to the system, use the Carolina Gym Supply Flip Smart Matting System for any number of tumbling and somersaulting, drills, bar drills (fly aways and giants), and even vault timer drills!

What the boys liked best was Julianne’s mixed grip Jam Cast mount on Bars.
