I love the Tumbl Trak barrel because it is a practical and innovative tool for lots of home gymnastics drills. My first ever experience of a gymnastics barrel was with this product. When I first used this, the bouncy surface took a few attempts to get used to when compared with a foam triangular or hexagonal gymnastics mat.

Other factories use machines to glue parts together which uses very high temperatures that weakens the raw material. This means if folded the mat can be damaged beyond repair. The best gymnastics air barrels are growing in popularity and have become a fun and useful tool for gymnasts to use and improve their floor, bar and vault skills because of their versatility and dynamic surface. But why is this inflatable roll that looks like a children’s pool toy so great?. At a much lower price than the bigger brands, you can get a fun gymnastics inflatable training tool that is good quality and durable.

The barrel is there to support you in rolling your legs up higher or into positions that you don’t yet fully have the strength to perform.

For even taller athletes you can raise the height of the Air Roll by placing it on top of a foldable mat.I don’t really like the included air pump. Don’t get me wrong, it is a good quality hand pump, but these barrels hold a lot of air and it can take several minutes to inflate using the manual pump. Save some time and effort and consider using an electric air pump. Overall I really like the blue colour option but you can buy this product in purple and red and both colours are bright and bold.
