related – Ray Zapata, another FX finals contender, did Floor quite well. But later announced he was withdrawing from Worlds. Too bad.

Arthur Nory – Podium Floor
Men’s Floor is the Fugliest apparatus in 2019. Nory is one of the few I enjoy watching. Control and some style.

Tumbl Trak Air Floor
My favourite air floor is the Tumbl Trak Air Floor. It comes in 3m, 4.5m, and 6m lengths. I recommend you get more 3m sections rather than the longer versions as it gives you more options for configuration.
Use the Air Floor as the last step before the competition floor.

NEW Air Floor Pro
I’m using the old Air Floor Pro every day in Bermuda. We have two.
I like it BEST for Beam. Next BEST in the vertical position for Bars and Handstand work.
I personally don’t use the Pro much for Tumbling preferring the regular Air Floor. At the same stage of skill learning where you might want a Pro, kids in Bermuda use Rod Floor instead.
However, the newest version of the Air Floor Pro is both more durable and lighter. Both big improvements.

handstand and cartwheel progressions
Start with active flexibility and strength.
Great drills, as always from this Dutch YouTube channel, but I’d keep the head more neutral at this stage of development.

best triple double ever?
Simone is as good as any, I’d say, including Kenzo.
Note that ‘low chest’ is not typically deducted in MAG. It’s a stupid deduction. We want gymnasts to land the safest way possible, not in an aesthetic way.
