8 featuresSprung floor
The competition floor: a big square of carpet laid over springs. It gives back on every take-off and softens every landing.
Sprung floor tricks →Tumble track
A long, raised, springy runway for tumbling in a straight line, bouncier than the floor.
Tumble track tricks →Vault
A sprint down a runway, a springboard, then hands on the vaulting table and over.
Vault tricks →Bars
Asymmetric bars in women's gymnastics; parallel bars and a high bar in men's. Swings, circles and releases.
Bars tricks →Rings
Two rings hung from straps, part of men's gymnastics: swings and strength holds.
Rings tricks →Pommel horse
A padded horse with two handles, part of men's gymnastics: circles and swings on your hands.
Pommel horse tricks →Beam
A narrow beam to balance, turn and leap on. Clubs keep low ones to learn on and full-height ones to compete on.
Beam tricks →Trampoline
A full-size trampoline, often sunk level with the floor, or the small angled trampette you run at. Where a rotation gets learned before it goes anywhere harder.
