This past summer the good people from Tumbl Trak were nice enough to send me some products to demo. They sent to my gym in NH and camp in NY

• Air Pit  (think inflatable level 4 vault mat)
• Cast Trainer Bar
• Quick Flex bar in a bag
• Orbiter
• Bungee ramp
• A few of the Forester Bar
• Booster Blocks
• Pit Pillows

I promised to give the equipment a good workout and send them a review of the equipment.  The first piece of equipment I reviewed was the Air Pit. I was a little nervous about the durability of the mat. We planned on using the mat both for your traditional Level 4 vaults but also we used it behind the table for Vault Timers for some pretty big kids. In the end we ended up using this all over the place.

• We used it for vault
• We used it out on the floor for double back and full in back out timers.
• We used it over at bars behind the low bar for Over shoots and we stood it up on end to use it to help with clear hips.
• I even threw it over the trampoline and used it for some vault drills.
• The last thing I did was flip it upside down and we took it white water rafting. WARNING- DO NOT DO THIS. WE ARE STUPID.

What I like about the pit-

1. It only weighs 70 pounds! Very easy to move
2. Easy to fill up with air. 
3. Lots of velcro on it to attach other mats.
4. Stays firm, every once and a while you need to add some air but it stays firm.
5. Pretty versatile
6. Very Buoyant.
7. Good price

What I didn’t like

1. Pretty Hard. You really cant use it alone for tumbling or vault. You will need to have another mat on it.
2. Surface is a little uneven.
3. Doesn’t handle very well in rapids
4. Difficult to get back in if you fall out as you go over a waterfall.
