what do they tumble on????...It's called a Rod floor. Best analogy would be a 6 foot wide deck like outside someones back porch. It's around 80feet long and it has across the top of the two side supports; fiberglass snow skies. These make up the "deck" portion and are spaced about 1/2 inch apart. A roll of foam on top. Thus your tumbling on slats of fiberglass springs each time your hands/feet hit the deck. That is how they use to make them actually. Now these days they use fiberglass Rods about ?1.25" in diameter cross wise between the two side supports. Rods spaced about 4" apart. One or two layers of foam on top. Landing is in a thick mat at the end. There is a required "landing zone" for the final skill on this landing mat. |
