I saw one of these in use at Canada Olympic Park, Calgary. Seems to work well.
There’s a roof mounted version, as well. Very expensive, I feel, at US$3,499 plus shipping.
Reiss Beckford to Jamaica
Reiss will now represent Jamaica after winning silver for England in men’s individual all-around event and a silver medal in the men’s floor at 2010 Commonwealth Games.
“2014 was a good year for me, I learnt a lot and made progress through not only my gymnastics career but my life too. I would like to announce that from today 1/1/15 I will be no longer competing for Great Britain, I will be competing for Jamaica.
… Competing for Jamaica is an amazing opportunity for me to compete with the best in the world and help make my dream of competing in an Olympic Games a reality. #2015 #TeamJamaica”

Shilese Jones to Buckeye
Looks like talented American Junior National Team member Shilese Jones wants to train with Nia and Gabby. That club should be a powerhouse.
