Doug Davis – 35 years of Tumbl Trak

One of the true good guys in acrobatic sports is Doug Davis.

He first saw a Quebec coach tumbling kids on a modified trampoline. From that day, Doug founded and popularized the tumbling trampoline. One of the very best pieces of equipment in your Gym.

Tumbl Trak:

Starting with the Original Tumbl Trak, our company has invented numerous products that combine technological advances with innovations in training. As a customer once said, “Tumbl Trak has changed the way the country teaches gymnastics.”

How many wrists, ankles, and knees have been saved by training on soft surfaces like the Tumbl Trak and Air Floor? How many elite athletes have gone on to international competition healthier and stronger because they’ve used our products?

On our 35th anniversary, we’re proud to celebrate Doug Davis and how he revolutionized the sport, helping countless athletes train smarter and safer.

Protect LGBTQ+ athletes

In my long lifetime, I’ve not yet faced an issue regarding a trans athlete. It’s quite rare.

In 2023 the concerns have been exaggerated by right wing politicians as an unethical and dangerous way to gain deplorable votes.

BUT every sport must make decisions on who is allowed to compete in any competitive division. Age. Ability. Gender. Etc.

For me it’s not automatic to disallow males who have transitioned to females.

Fujitsu Judging Support System

Perhaps we’ve reached the end of the beginning.

Certainly Artistic Gymnastics needs more objectivity. Trampoline is much fairer as time of flight and ability to stay in the middle of the bed is measured by machine.

The FIG has approved the official use of the Judging Support System (JSS), developed by Fujitsu, at the 2023 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Antwerp (BEL) for all apparatuses. …

Furthermore, the Superior Jury will have the possibility of using the outputs provided by the JSS, as well as the IRCOS video replay system, in cases of inquiries or blocked scores. The use of cameras instead of 3D sensors means that the body data measurements that were carried out during podium training days will no longer be necessary. …
