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.
