Comparing pricing, power, durability, and other pros and cons helpful to athletes, coaches, and gym owners
we’re going to be reviewing Gao PHA euro
rebound and Ross athletics we’re also
going to be doing some double mini and
tumbling as well for double mini we’re
gonna be reviewing euro Gao PHA
and rebounds and then for tumbling we’re
going to be reviewing Ross athletics sky
kun Spieth and acro sports so let’s kick
it off with trampoline nuno so this
document we collected very unofficially
some pricing of the equipment
this is dependent on where you’re from what
country right where the shipping some
prices include shipping some don’t and
also these reviews that
we’re talking about a lot of them are our opinion
right opinion of as gym owners as
coaches as athletes and just hearing
different reviews from other athletes
across the world and coaches as well
that’s especially for double minion
tumbling is mostly based on what
athletes had been told us and yeah and
that thing even this price is more based
on the US then actually for the rest of
the world because
I think some systems you’re gonna be
cheaper in the Europe and others will be
more expensive due to the shaping so
alright let’s start so yeah all these
all these pricings here are in US
dollars right alright so for trampoline
here we have a gal Fay right these two
tabs we have euro from a few
different suppliers
we have rebound products which is Dave Ross in Toronto
his equipment company and then we also
have trembling index from Ross athletics
here so let’s start it off with golf a
four by four so I want to start off
right here because it’s it’s posted the
pricing right so what is the cheapest
trampoline full set up with index that
we can get it looks like the rebound
non-folding trampoline is the excuse me
the cheapest right with ten thousand two
hundred twenty-five dollars right we
don’t have like we don’t have all the
numbers from trampling solutions about
index and maths so it makes it a little
bit hard to give that the cheapest price
on everything but I mister don’t think
nothin will beat that rebound
non-folding if you’re starting if you’re
starting a club that you do not need to
move your equipment that rebound
unfolding it’s a great it’s a great
setup and I think that’s what you have
in your club right Stephen yeah
absolutely it is we have I think we well
right now we have seven we had nine
trampolines we had two folding and seven
non-folding and now we’ve we because we
added in the rod floor we took away two
trampolines so now we have seven
non-folding and so I guess I guess the
easiest way for us to compare these is
to look at without index right
because those numbers we have across all all
brands right so the golf a is 7,500 to
$8,500 the euro trip and where you’re
depend and that will depend also because
we trampoline solutions I asked the
price was with shipping and customs but
he was not able to do that price if you
just order one trampoline that price
will be less or more than one trampoline
or if it has a batch of trampolines
coming on the same container
because shipping changes custom changes so
that’s the minimum price you can do
whenever he has a order more than one
and I think the reason for that and the
same same reason why like rental
equipments are certain prices because
it’s cheaper just to ship one container
then half of a container or just one
individual trampoline right you just
close the track to close the trailer it
goes on the back of a truck correct
onto a train and then or a boat and then
just get shipped in that container a
euro right
by far the most
expensive trampoline on the market looks
like us most in the u.s. at least here
yeah because because I think I think the
shipping is what makes it more more
expensive and I think the retailer’s
here and I’m not sure about this at this
moment I know in the past was like this
I think AI receives all and then they
everyone goes through a ai to do it I
don’t know if that has changed or not
but that’s why if you look except
rebound products all the price are
exactly the same because I think they
all go through the same retailer gotcha
yeah I think I think you’re correct on
that but I mean with Gao phase being
shipped from China
all right so I mean come on it’s the
same it’s probably farther away China
from the from I think China – I agree
the western coast is probably the same
distance maybe if not more than it is
from from Germany to the east coast to
the east god again I think AI probably
puts a big profit on top of that but
yeah they have that if they have that
market just for themselves I guess they
can do it right
I guess I guess that’s
the biggest reason why Indies sheet we
collected also rebound products that is
in Canada but you can also acquire for
them I think you have to pay sales tax
which is not very much in shipping
whenever I bought my stuff from them was
also not very much
and it definitely compensates the
difference in price for me so you’re
saying it was better to go to rebound
products then correct even with shipping
and sales tax um and I think they look
at the difference it’s it’s like $1500
little over 15 under a lot of dollars
different so you’re not gonna pay $1,500
and also I mean it also depends on your
location as well right so rebound
products is located in Toronto is it
drivable all right so I know for us it
was drivable
so we did we drove I’m sure
not the equipment ourselves so we saved
a lot on shipping so if that’s something
that’s you know doable for you then you
can save a lot there as well
would you mind zooming in zooming in a
little bit more on the price so people
can see better they don’t need to see
the website we put we put the website’s
in front as well but I think this is the
most important information here so yeah
that’s great so so let’s let’s also talk
about this right so so also for everyone
they’re looking at the list and looking
at the rebound products the right so the
most expensive was your and the
cheapest trampoline set up without index
is by far the rebound rebound
non-folding and what is a non folding
bed most people have probably never even
seen it so basically if you’ve never
heard tore down or set up a trampoline
it folds you put the legs in that’s on
the wheels the legs swing under the
trampoline folds into thirds
and then it goes up on its side right
and it folds like a sandwich you can
wheel it away and put into the closets
for storage the non-folding comes in two
pieces right comes in the ends the legs
come in and you basically assemble it
and then you screw right wouldn’t let
some bolts those pieces together and
that’s it there’s no hinge that bends
for the legs to swing in and fold up
basically build it like an Ikea okay
pretty much and but so and they’re there
I think they’re pretty heavy right so
you don’t want to be able to move them
so yeah
you want to find a permanent home for
these guys in your gym you know if
you’re gonna have to be moving it around
every weekend because artistic has to
come over here there that you know I
don’t know if it’s necessarily the right
trampoline but if it has a permanent
home I’m telling you what these are
amazing right so all right so before I
get into to our gym setups why don’t we
talk about why no no do we have the bed
pricing here by itself what you know
well the best pricing is very important
because the bed will be the thing that
will tear the most on your equipment so
the frame will last for a long time the
springs will last for quite quite a few
years but the bed depending on the level
of that look that you have might tear
down really fast if you have lower level
athletes will to last you for a long
time if you have a higher level athletes
especially the web beds so that would be
golf a and you’re a those beds do
not last very long so for a higher
eyerly athlete I would say I’ve been
changing beds maybe yearly I think I
every year have to buy a bed basically
so that’s where if you see in front of
the rebound the price is the best price
of those those are string beds
those are rebound stream beds
they’re significantly cheaper and they last you
I would say more than ten years those
Bears last more than ten years wait ten
years yes wait more than ten years but
I’m saying even without proper care you
know walking with shoes on the bed and
everything it will still last you for
more than ten years so for for a
recreational program in my opinion
that’s exactly what you want a rebound
bed you don’t have to switch beds every
year and you have a set up there that
will last you for ages and now you can
do that with a folding trampoline or the
non folding and what rebound does with
the Foley is they use the Euro
ultimate frame and they put all their
parts on that train so it’s still a
great tremor which I have two of those
right now I have two of those folding
tremblings from rebound and then I have
two that I used the euro trim frame I
use the rebound Springs paths and pad
lifters and then the Euro trims 4×4 bed
that’s how I have in my
yes so on an argent we have we have four
competitive setups right with where we
have and I guess the only difference
really is the bed so we have all seven
non-folding trampolines which are
rock-solid we have all rebound Springs
which have lasted us yes since the year
existence since we opened in in 2011 if
you guys want more information about the
springs just check out the episode that
we interviewed Dave Ross and you’ll tell
you a little bit more about yeah and and
then we have on three of the trampolines
we have string beds which we use from
recreational classes some lower level
competitive teams and then
we have four
web beds which will rotate and replace
about once a year maybe 18 months
depending on who’s you know who’s
jumping there whether you know because
there’s two trampolines at the senior
leads jump and then the other two
maybe some of the junior elites or youth
release jump on so they’re a lot lighter
putting a lot less pressure on and wear
and tear on the beds but my my in that
set up is in my opinion the most
powerful trampoline in the world with
and we use we use golf a four by fours
however and I don’t know if this is
something that you know and I don’t know
what happened what changed with golf a
but they used to have this four
millimeter by four millimeter and I
swear that thing was four point zero
zero zero zero millimeters by four point
zero zero zero and that thing was a rock
I actually had I actually been Taylor
space I actually think they had some bed
that were less than four millimeters I
might be right that I think I really
think that they had some best that were
lesson for abused and I can tell you
what happened so they went to the fig.2
Institute for certification and the bed
was too powerful it did not pass
certification like Dave also explained
on his episode you guys should really go
check out that they do that test with
the 60 kilo ball and you drop it on the
and you have a certain level at
the ball can rebound and the ball and
the bed was too powerful it did not pass
so they had to increase the size of that
of the web´s so so it will do this fast
certification so they actually I think
they have a bed right now that is
actually more than four millimeters to
class certification and they think they
advertise as four by four but I think it
was like 4.1 by four point six or four
point seven so even more you know so I
mean those things were awesome so we
have the four by force or whatever you
want to call them four by four and a
half certified by fives all right we
have the golf a and and the reason being
is the look at the pricing here right
right so whether you’re getting in the
u.s. you’re getting around twenty
between you know twenty one and twenty
five hundred dollars you go for a euro
which even if it’s arguably maybe
a little more powerful does that justify
an extra $2,000 the question in my
opinion sure it’s more powerful but I in
my opinion I think they’ll last a little
bit longer now the question is does it
justify the difference in price how much
they last that’s a totally device that’s
a totally different conversation right I
think in powerful I think the golf I are
a little bit more powerful than the
earth trend if you want my opinion now
and again like we said the begin this is
only personal opinion that we’re talking
here
now does this price justifies it that’s
for you to decide to decide but for sure
for sure not the forty seven forty that
the u.s. is asking for it the thirty
eight money that’s actually a really
good price for for for your turn back
I’m still bill fourteen hundred dollars
they’re different from the top price we
have for golf a but in my in my opinion
I think if you can have one of each your
athletes only benefit from it they can
practice they can keep alternating and
practice on all types of bet and that’s
the best thing for them and I think
let’s talk let’s talk about the
stereotypical club at least in America
right most most are not only doing
trampoline but most are mainly artistic
with some trampoline and tumbling
equipment
and most don’t have a very high budget
right so here’s my recommendations and
then you know you can can give yours yes
I I think the best thing that you could
possibly do is get a rebound rebound
non-folding get the rebound Springs and
get the rebound string bed okay
and that that’s going to cost you $6,500
now it that’s going to be plenty until
you build your program up up until the
optional level right even even the
optional level I trained on rebound
trampolines up until pretty much senior
elites and then even then we kind of
went back and forth between web beds
then my suggestion is once you get an
athlete maybe level 10 or you know
starting to compete in the elite
division then you buy a web bed right
and you had the same setup and you
replace it with a web bed so they can
get comfortable jumping on a web bed
maybe so it’s a little more powerful and
then if your trampoline is because I
hear this a lot well we want to get this
but the REC kids and the rep coaches
just come in and destroy it jumping with
their shoes jumping all day and that
happens right a lot of these teams
across the country they have to share
their equipment with the classes now
these through and so here would be my
recommendation by the web bed learn how
to change it and swap it out three weeks
before the competition and I think this
is this is something that Dave Ross does
with with his athletes he’s always
experimenting with new beds and then
about a few weeks I think Rosie said it
in Episode three how many weeks out she
normally switches it out but they’ll
swap it out so they’re training on that
equipment to prepare for that
competition and all of that all the
equipment for most of the events I can’t
say for local meets but at least for the
state’s regionals and national meets
they’ll tell you which equipment will be
provided at the competition so you can
kind of get a feel for how it’s gonna be
I agree I would not I would not change
much there I
just keep evolving on that program and
if you find yourself with an elite
athlete I would probably try and change
and change the bed definitely for the
4×4 and I don’t know if you really need
a folding frame or not it really depends
on the setup of your club but if you
have above-ground trampolines I think
that folding friend does give a little
bit more motion than than what the non
fold he does but I think the difference
is negligible in my opinion it does not
make that big of a difference you can
build a higher level a lot of level
athlete with a non folding frame easily
that’s what Dave Ross has in his club
like you said that’s what you have I
don’t have it I actually have the
folding frame but for other reasons I
need I need the the mobility of that
equipment I need to be able to move them
out sometimes and move into the
competition plate because I organize two
meats a year so they need to move them
so I need that that that easiness of
mobility so the following frame is good
for me but the non folding frame is
phenomenal and and I do think there if
you want to try with the golf right bed
you should try with the golf a bit and
see if you have the opportunity to have
one traveling with your on
trampoline with CalFire I think that’s
the best thing you know you can and then
and then the rebound you switch wherever
you jump the most or something like that
as long as your athletes are always
changing they’re always adapting it
makes them better absolutely I think
just to kind of give a justification or
review on the rebound string beds I’ve
done trampoline shows for NBA halftime
NFL halftime corporate events since 2004
and the first company I started working
with the sky riders also called sky
riders with Kenny he used to have an
open trailer wasn’t it wasn’t it closed
it was just a flatbed trailer and he
would put the fold of the trampoline and
put on the back and you drive through
snow rain hail you name it on the
highways for all the way across the
country and he had a string bed and
rebounds rebound string bed and rebound
Springs amen he must have had that equip
for decades over 20 years now he he also
would get like updated equipment later
on but he had that equipment and was
able to use for 20 years outside just
getting beat up right and I don’t think
that’s something that would ever be
doable with the web heads now yeah I
agree
another idea that we you know we do a
ETA that maybe you guys can do as well
is find a club maybe with some lower
levels and then find a club with higher
level athletes and what you guys can
work together because like Nuno said
he’s he’s buying a new bed every year so
what does he do with that old bed he can
sell it to to some lower level gyms for
a very very large discount and now
they’re getting web beds for half of the
price maybe even even less and they’re
really they’re great trampoline beds
they’re just not able to be jumped on by
senior elite men right and senior league
women for so long so so I know anything
some people do that I usually only
replace my bed one day trip so I really
don’t have them right so but I mean if
you guys can help each other right if
you find a club absolutely you know I I
would love to have a web bed but I can’t
afford you know $2,500 or $3,000 and you
get it and I know I know that the
rebound does that you know rebound
product that sometimes they have beds
that they use at Skyriders for a short
period of time and they will sell those
I already got a couple of those cheaper
four by fours they won’t last you as
long as a normal 4×4 but for me it
compensates the difference for me I
actually have a spare one already ready
to go into the trampoline just like that
in case we need it
so shall we move on I think trampoline
yes is done I think we talked a lot
about trampoline seriously we want this
to be a short episode so everyone can
follow the prices are there you do your
own research I think you should do your
own research you should look at what
drunk what equipment is best and most to
it for your gym this is only our
opinions this
we use in our gym and this is the the
prices being elected if you have any
doubts just follow the context are in
front under on the top
I just want to smush something really
quick there’s a lot of clubs maybe that
say oh I would be so much better off my
my equipment or if I had this 4×4 if I
had the ultimate to the Eurotrip
ultimate and that’s not true right if
you look back is not go look at 1992
World Championships in New Zealand
they’re jumping on Ozzy beds doing three
triples like you know it’s it’s it’s not
the equipment you know so yes I get it
you want that brand new equipment you
want that shiny you know ultimate frame
and the shiny springs but it’s it’s not
as much of a necessity as you think
until you get maybe until the junior
elite level I think I agree I agree
alright let’s talk about double meaning
a little bit I don’t want I want to
write I want double me to feel as
important as trampoline with us because
we care as much about double minion
someone as we care about trample so
absolutely love double me I hope I still
have double mean except I don’t know
many as well do you coach double meaning
I love to coach the woman it’s great I
think for me it depends on the athlete
right cuz I think there’s a lot of
athletes that don’t enjoy doing it and
they’re running slow and it’s really
hard to for me to to enjoy but man those
athletes that that love to work hard
that love to run hard they really go for
everywhere pushing buttons everywhere
trampoline as well there are some
methods and rumbling that was really
hard to coach and there’s some other
that are so easy because the passion is
there and they want to do it double mean
yeah thing is the same I think is the
same but so from for me it’s like you
can still someone set lazy on trampoline
they can still jump low and and make
corrections and do things well if you’re
not running any hard stuff let’s get
into the equipment alright so here we
don’t have gyro rebound and golf a
I’m gonna be honest I’ve only ever
competed on a gyro double mini
I’ve
seen the rebound the rebound in golf eh
I’ve bounced a little bit I think last
year I think at Palestra I think they
had a rebound string a double mini bed
and
I just kind of bounced down a little
bit so a lot of this is gonna be going
off of opinions of other athletes and
what I’ve heard so why don’t we start
off by pricing alright yeah just just
take a look at this bed price what’s
going on here right from we go well you
have a six by six you have a sick you
have a six by six and and and you’re a
and then you have a string bed
that’s a big difference right yeah
absolutely
and I mean the same thing Golf a the bed
price $1300 but it’s comparable to what
we saw on right what do you what
do you think this can attest to what why
do you think that is you just think
maybe because China has has cheaper
labor or or their products you know
cheaper I don’t know maybe did I
honestly and knowing the reality of
Europe I think just the prices that get
in the u.s. here by you’re a are
very much inflated that’s that’s what I
think because if you go to Europe if you
go to Europe and you get and you collect
the price for your trip in Europe it’s
not this expensive it’s really not and I
think and this is the literally just my
opinion my guests have this is backed by
absolutely nothing but my gut right so I
think also your is one of the
original big players right they probably
did a lot of research and design just
like rebound does a lot of research and
does and design into their movement and
gal fight just kind of took it and said
alright let’s make something very
similar and copy this so they didn’t
have to put in years of research you
know into making this equipment so I
think maybe that might have a lot to do
with it as well you know they’re just
paying for the material and to make it
or not
for the research I but that’s that uhm
kind of deserves that credit right
because after Nissen they took up the
manufacturing and they’ve been
supporting this this sport for a long
time right so they deserve a little bit
that and they if I can be honest here
and and taking rebound a little bit out
of it your attempt has the quality there
you know I feel like your eternity is
the Apple of trampolines you know they
do the shiny product you know it’s
sometimes it’s not perfect but it’s a
shiny product
I think rebounds last
longer and they do a lot but they’re not
that shiny prime you know even the way
you know what that is though right
that’s you know what that is that’s
marketing man that’s branding course
Apple just sells branding same thing
with your with your trim you know you
like the logo and and I think they’ve
done a great job marketing themselves at
competitions and ya know getting their
foot in the door and being at I don’t
know this is you know I guess but 90% of
the competitions over the past few you
know two decades
absolutely so every time you go you know
go and and how many outlets wanted to we
know you’re right marketing plus and you
know I mean that not to put down their
equipment at all it’s one of the best if
not the best in the world but they also
have a very strong you know marketing
suit absolutely absolutely but again
it’s there’s a lot of things in the mix
there I think they also support this
sport a lot they’re probably the one oh
yeah we driven product making the most
advancements in the technology of the
equipment so there is that but I think I
think these prices are very different in
what the prices are in Europe that’s all
and we need to be careful about that we
don’t know those prices in Europe II see
the price we collected here and I think
the the new double me the new rebound
double mini we have not I have not seen
it yet doctor no it’s for sale and
they’ve talked a little bit about it
actually on the interview we did with
him and it has a totally different
structure
and seems more stable than what the Euro
jump double mini is so I’m very curious
to see it you know very curious to see
it and and he wasn’t Dave talking about
that on his little bit on this podcast
yes yeah that’s what I just said so yeah
and on the interview we did with him he
he talked a little bit about the double
me that was building and he’s already
for sale and and those prices are very
good again but if I would have to
recommend for a gym starting right now
they’ll follow you what I would get on a
little noisy over but but look at the
golf a full full set up for the double
mini obviously that run up and landing
drew right fractions free of so I mean I
think my recommendation would be would
be the golf vein and having bounced on
the string bed I know it’s not that big
of a deal but it just it looks much
different running at your right your
equipment then looking at a web bed and
I know that to the athletes it’s not a
big deal you know but if we if we’re
getting picky here or you know picking
these things apart I think that also
plays a role into it and and I’ll tell
you what’s the most interesting thing
okay it’s out of all these BB needs the
the two with the FI decertification is
the golf a and the euro trap they are
certified for FNG competition right
exactly yeah so basically just if you’re
listening golf a and not watching on
YouTube a golf a full set up of the
frame springs pads and bed is $3500 the
rebound one with a string bed is 5325
and then the euro depending on
where you get it from whether it’s a AI
d GS Ross athletics or rebound products
it ranges anywhere from six thousand
eight hundred and seventy all the way up
to seven thousand five hundred five and
that I think with shipping and tax that
the Euro double mini from from
Canada from Dave Ross at rebound
products would probably be comparable
comparable to that seventy five hundred
from me I and these other suppliers in
the US
hmm yeah maybe maybe III think chipping
was not that much to be honest and and
the sales tax depends on your state if
you have a state that doesn’t have sales
tax then you don’t have to pay it so
again that what I got was your dreamt of
a mini brand just like your trend from
from rebound that’s what I got whenever
but again since I shipped everything
together the trampolines and the double
mini it was all included the shipping so
it didn’t make a difference for me and
and and just like I think all these
equipment pieces of equipment at least
with trampoline the frame is going to
last you so long right so once you so
once you buy the frame you’re really
gonna only be replacing the bed and
springs it honestly I don’t know I mean
I have to see find a club that has
multiple senior Lee athletes training at
it on double mini which I don’t know
that there’s many in the world where
there’s multiple senior Lee athletes
training at the same time on one double
mini it does not have as much wear and
tear as a trampoline does and I think it
just also has a lot less use right
trampoline you get on one person’s gonna
do you know 10 prep bounces to get ready
then their piece then some extra jumps
then they do that piece again right
double mini at most some kid is doing
five jumps in a turn right so it’s just
over time it gets less wear and tear so
I think I think just I think that
justifies maybe going a little bit more
expensive for this piece of equipment
whereas the trampoline we give a
recommendation of maybe going a little
bit cheaper here I think it doesn’t
matter as much I think I think it really
depends on the on the level of AdWords
that you have and the equipment that is
used the most at competitions I don’t
remember the last time I saw a double me
that was not you’re a and I need
rationalization I think you need to take
that into consideration again doesn’t
mean that you shouldn’t get something
feeble for your club if you can’t afford
it it’s better to have a double beam
than not having one at all but if you
have higher level athletes I think
considering the equipment that you’re
going to compete on it’s very important
absolutely
yeah yeah that’s a great point all right
should we continue to tumblr let’s go
that’s good right so here we have the
traditional
rod floor that Ross athletics makes and sells
I think they also have like a demo
version and like a newer version I don’t
know they sell the demo version anymore
I think this this pricing here is the
newer newest version this is the newer
version yes but and I think it’s
important to explain that the
traditional rod floor is a little bit
thinner than than what the International
floors are so there’s this floor is six
feet wide instead of the six and a half
feet wide right that is international f
IG certified forced so this floor is the
one that are most using domestic
companies in the United States I don’t
even know if this is used anywhere else
belong to the United States so but it’s
definitely the easiest option for you to
ever walk for in your in your gym so I
think it’s important
between the demo and the new floors the
demo they only usually have a drink
competition season so they use it the
competition and then become the demo if
people want to buy it I think right now
if you look for a demo they will tell
you that they don’t have any more demos
unless they have some in stock from the
past but the demos only should only come
up after the conversation seasons up and
these are circular yes the
rods are circular that is correct and it
seems from what we hear from people
it’s a softer bounce than what the
other floors are it’s probably more
comparable to Scott Koon compared with
all the other one than the other one the
all the others are harder for sure but
even I think and this is more for tumble
just to do if you guys are from tumbling
and you’re looking at and you’re
watching this please put a comment down
below and let us know what you think
about these floors and which one you
like the best but I think that even
the sky is a little bit harder than
what the traditional Roth Ross Morris so
we also have so let’s go through these
and then we’ll go over like pricing we
also have Scott Kuhn which is like
apparently like gold man it’s hard to
come by right like floors are tough to
come by and there’s also there’s now how
many school floors three
is this the third one that’s so I
think and and and maybe mistake or maybe
they just change the foam I think only
the foam changes yes I think everything
else is the same but they have several
versions of the foam which I think it’s
really good because when other floors
are doing like two foams two layers of
foam like the traditional rot forest
this one only has one layer that you
have it’s a thicker layer that you just
carrying one right
they had scone at baldi lead World Cup
it was that I think it was that red foam
and man it was just like flopping all
over the place I think that was an older
one already I think yeah but even that I
think even though the carpet on top of
the foam it was not really glued any man
I think that was old because the new
floors are not like the I think they’re
impeccable I think it looks so cool but
that got new Speedway that needs
Speedway is really cool too
we had one at selection camp last year
and I think the feedback we got from the
athletes was really really really good
so you asked me what’s the difference
between the Speedway tree and the
International rod for package and they
have literally no idea I can tell you
it’s like almost nine thousand dollars
that’s a difference right so that floor
so the the the speed floor the Speedway
3 that was the one that we had a Lake
Placid or correct correct
right and that one had the rectangular
yards which we didn’t mention I think
cocoon also now has angular I think the
first one was circular in this plastic
cap on top of the rods to make it
alright it doesn’t make them leave any
holes which is really cool right yeah as
the rod inside and then and then a
plastic on top of the rod that is a
casserole and then there is no gaps so
everything is connected so the foam can
not really go in the middle there and
break like it could be the past with
other floors right and this the speedway
also has the directed the square the
square rods but
the International red floor rot floor
package I do not know what it is it’s
listed on the website so if you’re
curious though the website and ask you
know do you do you know if either one
which ones are a fine she certified I do
I do know which ones are I used to
define we have the acro sport we have
the Genova that is not that we don’t
have listed here we have a tie chun
floor that we don’t have listed here
which we also have a trampoline
certified with or actually the
trampolines that we use that trend
American Games last year they’re also
certified they’re not very so they
didn’t even make they didn’t even make
the cut on the list I’m sorry I’m sorry
passion we have the speedway three he’s
certified we have this cocoon is
certified and then we have an adult
fight track very certified to that we
don’t have on the list which has no
reason a cross did you say EcoSport
correct our sport is certified right yes
so you would have basically you would
have the acro sport this beat way and
thus cocoon all three from that list are
certified alright so so basically so
let’s go over pricing difference here
right so the acro sport is about twenty
three thousand dollars right for the
full set up all included lending and
run-up included right and the speedway
like we said smith the international
floor is about twenty seven thousand and
the speedway three is thirty five
thousand six hundred by far the most
expensive we don’t know what it on the
market landing information I wish they
would provide the information if I’m
gonna buy an iPhone I know exactly what
comes off and watch the specification
these websites I’m sorry but they need
to do a better job at providing this
information to the public I’m sorry
so who knows maybe they’re like coated
in like 24 karat diamonds all the way
down right down yeah like I say that we
had really good feedback off that
floor but $35,000 that’s really painful
to give I think we all right so we also
have sky for a twenty four thousand
five hundred dollars and then we have
the Ross athletic rod floor for $11,000
right okay but but but one little detail
I think that landing that landing is
just for the cover so it’s not for the
maps so you would still have those and
mats there and the mats are a little
more expensive
so on average those landing mats which a
full set up has for their about a
thousand dollars each raise I think some
places you can find them for like 800
850 exactly right so let’s just go with
the over just to you know be safe that’s
an extra four thousand dollars that’s
gonna put you at fifteen thousand six
thousand dollars but you don’t need
floor mats I think three mats is more
than enough for my plan you might can I
think I think a lot of a lot of it
depends if you’re gonna be hosting
competition right level of Corrections
right careto you know if you know a lot
of a lot of gyms might not be buying
index right they might have decking
around but if they’re gonna do
competitions right or sanctioned events
then they’re gonna have to get index
right so same thing with this go ahead
no let me just my opinion on these parts
of the landing gear so for example I
really really like the Gulf Atlantic
mats for the for the log floor so on my
setup I actually have the Gulf a landing
mats for the rock floor and then the
traditional rock for because I don’t
have the space to have a forced full
floor so but I really really like the
Gulf oil any mats it’s just it’s a set
of three for the competition they’re a
little bit longer because they’re
European size American side but I like
them I really like those landing mats I
don’t think I’ve ever been on them on
the yeah probably not yeah probably not
so let’s talk really quick about who
would buy what product so and this is
the feedback that I’ve received if
you’re going to be hosting company
I don’t think you’re gonna go you’re not
gonna be able to get a Ross athletic
it’s not f IG certified and I’m not sure
what the the rules are and the in the
u.s. if you can use that England you can
use it you can use that equipment but
but again exactly but if it’s an
invitational you can use that if you can
use that equipment you can use the ross
athletics that’s what most people use
actually but if you have elites I think
if you have a lot of elites I think
that’s probably the probably the right
the tipping point where you should start
thinking about the better floor right
what I would say so I agree and that’s
kind of what I was getting at is if you
have if you have levels I don’t know one
through eight right then I think that
that even maybe going up to level 10
right depending on your ability as a
notion then then that I think and if and
if your intentions are to do tumbling
for strength and for kind of like we
talked about in our previous episode
where we discussed doing multiple events
if it’s for the purpose of strength you
know learning understanding the
technique but you don’t have intentions
of them going elite this is the floor
for you in my opinion and it also what I
love about this floor and for what I
remember tumbling on it and just
standing on and bouncing it is soft
right so you can you’re the little kids
aren’t going to be beating themselves up
right now the acro sport which i think a
lot of the athlete athlete’s enjoy but
that’s the one we have in our club that
thing is like a rock right even just a
run on it it hurts right kind of beats
up beats up on your body but this
version this version is already better
than the previous version so there was a
lot of complaining on the previous acro
sport and then they change it to at
least anything last World Championships
2019 World Championship it’s already new
version and the feedback on that was
significantly better than what the
previous floor was yeah now you don’t
have my tumbling on your club so they
really can’t hit that thing really hard
so it’s tough it’s tough even for me
just to do hops you know
jumps down it it’s it’s tough jumping on
that rod floor feels more something
comparable to like a tumble track you
know and I feel like if you want to if
you want to teach kids to tumble without
beating up their ankles and their knees
and their backs I think that’s probably
the better way to try it out and we’ll
try soft it as Springs how I’m saying
I’m saying that the the Ross floor I’m
saying it’s it’s closer to to a tumble
track than it is to the Accra spoor that
cross sports more to like home and I
think the speed from what I heard is
also great the athletes absolutely love
it the only downside is is the price tag
right it’s so I mean it’s it’s tough and
I think this cocoon for the higher
levels and and and I think these the
reason might be because the speed has
not been used in any international
competition that I know of right so for
the higher level is the best feedback
that I heard here is about Sky Kuhn
cocoon is right now their favorite I
think
but acro sport was also very good but
Scott Kuhn I still I still think it’s
their favourite from what I hear yeah
and I think the least favorites probably
acro sports I think a lot of athletes
were saying that it’s it’s tough I at
least the least favorite was one that we
don’t have here on the list which is the
Ross International one which was
certified by f IG or they were pursuing
certification something like that and
used it at some domestic competitions
last year and that was not very good
that was and not there was not a good
package of course but you can still get
it if you want if you contact process ID
you can still get it it please listen on
their website but there’s no there’s no
price so I didn’t even list it because
people don’t really like it but you can
still get it if that’s what you want all
