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.

spotting Bars on blocks

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.

PE-Redskaber twisting belt

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.

Simone sponsored by Nike

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.
