Great video! We need more like this to have something to talk about 😂I agree with most of this but I've got some points to add! - Swings work just fine on a properly inflatted one of these. (The one in the example clips looks way too flat :p). It just lowers the margin for error with your hip placement in swings. - You can also bottom out spring floors from punching too hard, I've done this alot blocking out of Gswitch at 90kg haha - You get extra bounce on all tricks not just punches as pretty much every trick uses a punch in some way or another when it's performed with the hips in the right position. I think it really depends on the floor whether they're worse than sping or foam as some of them are amazing. The one at Rocket gathering in Italy was so good it felt like cheating and a bunch of people hit their best ever Tricks on it from swing & cheat setups as well as punch
hahaha I‘m glad you enjoyed the video! All of your points make sense but after training on this one all summer and then training on real spring floors in Cesenatico, Sofia, Vienna, Ruše and Linz I‘d take a spring or foam floor over this one every time… Especially the floor at Balkan Gathering in Sofia was incredible and it‘s not comparable to our floor at all. The point I was making about the bounce… IF you inflate it hard enough to where you can swing properly without hitting the floor it actually doesn’t give you extra bounce on something like cart pop dub whereas a springfloor would because the top of the spring is so easy to compress you always get a little bit of bounce even with lower force. But I‘m interested in seeing how the airfloor at ascension will be :)
Thanks for the headsup.. fucked my ankle up 30 mins into Hooked since it didn't know the differences between spring and foam floors. I come from a spring floor, so tricking on a new foam floor was way more bouncy than i was used to.. but an inflated floor.. fuuuuuuck no! 😆
Don't think I have ever trained on a thin airtrack. I have however had experience on a 12x12 airtrack with the usual tumbling mats over it. It was pretty ideal for learning new tricks safely, because the margin for making errors was bigger. The impact on the body also felt way lower than spring floor. To be honest, I think any floor works as long as you can keep pushing to a new level safely. Good video again!
well… in some aspects certainly yes, in some aspects no. I‘ve been training on grass a bit more recently and I‘ve been enjoying it a lot. But warm(ish) days with soft but not too soft grass are not that common. So because of the weather I‘m still grateful we have this floor but I really wish we had a springfloor instead!!!

one must imagine sisyphus happy
I‘d rather trick on a huge boulder on a steep hill in Tartarus than on this floor
That was what I literally thought when the Vienna Fam said summerjam won't have real spring floor this summer 😂@@NoahPetek

Ah fuck bro… I mean it‘s not horrible unless it‘s really soft but the risk of rolling your ankle is definitely higher than on spring floor 😅
@@NoahPetek haha noted 😅 To be fair, if such a floor was in front of me, I would definitely have to try it out.. but be reeeal careful 😄
I prefer a good ol spring floor. We have an air track and honestly...hate it. Getting use to it, but hate it.
Yes! Spring floor is my favorite by far! I also enjoy a good patch of grass hahaha
This is perfect lmao, always wondered why this wasn't a bigger thing but I see why now 😂
hahaha yeah it‘s not too great… I can see it being fine for kids or whatever but for serious tricking or gymnastics it‘s pretty bad…

Well yes… any floor works… but some floors certainly work better than others hahaha
But you gotta make the most of it!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
But is it better than grass?

Es gibt schon springfloor zum jede session Aufbauen
und der wäre?
@@NoahPetekkp wie der heißt aber in pforzheim gibt's sowas. Falls ich rausfinde, wie der heißt schreib ich's hier
