AAI Competition Air Floor

At the UCIC competition in Calgary WAG competed on a new Air Floor. MAG the regular AAI Floor.

One elite coach told me it was pretty good for takeoffs, a bit unforgiving when landing short on front tumbling. Durability is the main question.

Set up of the Air Floor starts at about the 2min mark on this video.
