    Coaches Pit fluffer

    @JBS thanks for posting. What does he/she mean by struggling? Maybe the strength of the fan motor compared to the dimensions of the inflatable / weight of the cubes? Anyway the idea here is to have 3 pieces: since the pit is a big U with two short and fat sides and one long thin side, the...

    Coaches Pit fluffer

    We already have it. Actually it's not a trampoline but a net of steel wire ropes. It's not as bouncy as a trampoline but works quite similarly. At the moment, the net is 115 cm (=45 inches) under floor level, but the floor will be raised 20 cm (=8 inches) with pit edging mats that will cover the...

    Coaches Pit fluffer

    Don't know if you're being sarcastic, but I honestly find it interesting. The point would be knowing the downsides from someone who uses it. My dad, who was a olympic gymnast, told me they used at the national (Romanian) training center a net under the cubes across the ground and sticking out...

    Coaches Pit fluffer

    The same company you posted calls it pit cleaner instead of fluffer. This one comes up A LOT and I fear that if you have a deep pit you'll find yourself with cubes all over the place. Still, the systems are pretty intriguing... All ads are from a few years ago, so either they just stopped...

    It is exactly an airbag system place under the cubes. Airbag instead of cubes, I am not going for them, too dangerous IMO.

    Coaches Pit fluffer

    Pitfluffer.com If you search (gymnastics) foam pit fluffer on YouTube there are a few vids showing the system. It is one of those super interesting things that supposedly have huge downsides too, but who knows! Looks like in the US (where there is a general good culture for pits, cleaning and...

    Coaches Pit fluffer

    Hi everybody, I am repadding the pit, making it narrower and slightly less deep. Meanwhile, I discovered these pit fluffers that are afaik unknown in my area. Was wondering if you guys have good experience with those, since they are quite pricey. Our pit is huge and I we have high volumes of...

    Coaches About Gymnova UB old sets

    Thanks! AFAIK, red sets are all low and need specific feet to raise them to proper FIG height since they go as high as previous FIG measures (5 cm lower). Gymnova built a spare part which is expensive but since I am embedding them in mats I might as well place a 5 cm wooden board under the...

    Coaches About Gymnova UB old sets

    Hi there, I am considering to save some money and buy used old set of Gymnova uneven bars (the red ones) instead of the newer white ones. I know the red ones are lower and require a set of feet to raise them to newer FIG standards. I have seen pictures of them with both whiteish upright heads...

    Coaches Uneven bars "kombi" / "bar buddy" experience

    Thanks a bunch! Didn't know about the extenders, I am calling the local Gymnova dealer for info, I bet they have been facing huge amount of requests especially since they raised the bars last olympics. About the 6 anchor points, Gymnova's website was showing the short cable versions same as...

    Coaches Uneven bars "kombi" / "bar buddy" experience

    Also: I read one guy saying 3275 can go as high as 255 cm (FIG newer height), you got a clue? Gymnova's website is saying it goes only to 245. In case you can go FIG height, would you consider 3275 suitable for competition routines or you would stick to the Rio model? Thru pictures, the only...

    Coaches Uneven bars "kombi" / "bar buddy" experience

    Thanks again! I've seen those bars in some gyms around here. Does one manage to share the same anchor point between the low rail and the rear cable of the high rail? I will recess the anchor points in my floor thus it'd be nice if I could make it with 4 points instead of 6. Going back to the...

    Coaches Uneven bars "kombi" / "bar buddy" experience

    Hi all, does anybody have any experience with these product? I am renovating the gym and among the many aspects, I was thinking if I could find an easier way to work UB. These "bar buddy" or Spieth's "kombi" are examples, but I have seen some Gymnova too in the videos. Otherwise, I will just...
