    Parents Air track recommendation

    We are in the early days of our gymnastics journey and looking to buy a few essential pieces of equipment to have at home. What air tracks do you recommend? Things I should look out for and avoid? Thanks!

    WAG 4 inch or 8 inch air track?

    I am looking to purchase an air track for my daughter. She is training xcel gold. Would you purchase a 4 inch or 8 inch one? Please no comments about practicing at home. I would rather her do back handsprings and aerials on a air track instead of my carpet floors or in my yard. Thanks.

    Air awareness drill

    I may have found an air awareness drill ... or I may have just found a fun way to get dizzy. Basically, the drill is just walking, stretching, turning, or balancing (especially balancing) with your eyes closed. Doesn't require equipment. In fact, equipment is discouraged as that will certainly...

    habit blocks, body mastery, air awareness - help!

    A problem that I often have is being unable to fight certain unconscious habits. I'm not talking about flailing my arms when I bounce (though I do that too). I'm talking about things like physical blocks: e.g., being able to do either front fulls or rudis, but never both on the same day...

    Parents Air track question

    I am thinking Of ordering an inflatable tumble track for my gymnast. They are super expensive, so I’m trying to get the cheapest I can but don’t want to get one that is too short. How many feet would I need for her longest pass- a round-off back-handspring back tuck (working a full)

    Parents Home Air Trak

    Ill try and keep this brief. We are looking to get an Air Trak for the kids to have at home. Christmas is coming up and I’d rather spend our money on something they will use. I was looking around on Amazon.CA and noticed several different brands and sizes. The kids are 6 and 8. 20’...

    Fear of tumbling on the air track

    Hi, at my gym we don't have a foam pit or a spring floor, but we have a long inflatable air track for our tumbling. I can do a solid round off back tuck and layout on the floor (regular ground with matting, not spring floor) but when I bring it on the air track, it becomes terrible because I'm...

    WAG Air floor to rod floor?

    If I just got my robhsbt on air floor at a college gym camp and my gym doesn't have an air floor but at my gym we have a rod floor how hard would it be to transfer the robhsbt from an air floor to the rod floor?

    WAG Air awareness

    DD (11) has always had good awareness of where she is in space and where her body parts are (didn't get this from me!). I've read all the vestibular stuff on here, and I'm not clear on all of it. She's recently been asked to do doubles (as in flipping, not as in twisting) off the bars (into...

    Air sense

    I have a strange question. When you are doing a skill ( for example, a back full), are you supposed to know exactly where you are at all times, or just when taking off or landing? can you usually see clearly the entire way around? do you know how high you are? my coach is always confused when I...

    WAG Conditioning to improve front tuck height on the air mat

    Hi, I am an adult gymnast trying to improve my front tuck height when jumping off an air mat. I can land on my feet most of the time but my low height does not allow me to progress to higher skills like front tuck half twist. Could you suggest any conditioning exercises that I could do at home...

    Parents Is your gym air conditioned?

    My daughter had her first meet of the season this weekend - a Judge's Cup - at a local gym. The gym was a small metal building with no A/C. In Tennessee. And the day's high was supposed to be 90. The owner stated (with impressive pomp) that HER gymnasts did just FINE without air. Now, this...

    Parents Any good advice for kids in air casts/boots?

    I posted in MAG that DS has a stress fracture and is now in a boot for at least a few weeks. He is starting off with 2.5 weeks in it, then we go back for new x-rays. The first 2 days in the boot weren't bad. But... that is probably because he was also sick with a fever of around 101. He is...

    McKayla (Air) Maroney...16.233...Did They Deduct The Landing?

    What an awesome vault by McKayla Maroney in the team finals! She landed...raised up on her toes and then had to step...so she stepped into the salute. Do you think they deducted the landing?

    Air Maroney

    Watch in the background of Maroney's Amanar vault in slo-mo...there is a judge who's jaw dropped...couldn't believe the vault...that's cool. What else is cool...vaulting so high that there are pictures of you above the vault table without the vault table in the pic! EDIT: EDIT #2: Here is...

    Question about air floors?

    Okay so the gym recently moved and one of the new additions to the gym was an air floor (I don't know what you call them in america but that's what we call them here). so my question to all of you what do you think the value of an air floor is? do you think it is beneficial to have this plus a...
