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.

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.

For beginners, I still like Bailie Beginner Dowel Buckle Grips best. Single buckle.

Spotting blocks are even better than a channel pit for introducing new skills on Bars and Horizontal Bar. There are hundreds of different configurations.
For example, introducing forward Giant.

Al Fong went through 5 prototypes before deciding on length, width, channel gap, and adjustable heights.
Great for the kids. And great for the coaches who will suffer fewer spotting injuries.

One of the BIG problems with belts is getting it to fit different sizes of athletes.
PE-Redskaber solved that by using an inflatable bladder.

Some have wondered why Simone has been dressed differently than her teammates during the first days of Worlds.
I learned on GymCastic that she is contractually obliged to wear Nike unless required to wear USA team attire by USAG or FIG rules. She loves Nike. So no problem.
