Could you tell me your experience will an air track as I am thinking about purchasing one for our gym as a space alternative to a tumble track.............? What would you say are the benefits /not .........as opposed to a tumble track?

are you asking for anyone's opinon?? well we used them a couple times at a clinic and then at another camp. but i actually don't like them.. they are a lot harder than tumble tracks and a girl actually broke her arm on it (well she tripped..) because she couldn't get her steps. your gymnast have to be they type of people who can adjust well to anything. but hey thats just my opinon..

Maybe it deflates some like an airbag when you land on it. Then it could inflate again.

I can tell you we use air beds for some patients at the hospital I work at. They are made of gortex I think. They are NOISY. Also they get punctured pretty easily. When they have a puncture they don't work right. And I'm talking about a pin hole. Can't imagine gymnasts with toenails, fingernails landing on it and it not getting a puncture or tear. And when there's a leak, tape doesn't fix it for long.

It is cool looking though.
