If you take a look at my latest training video you will see in the leisure centre we had some rolled up carpety stuff that the leisure centre provided. From what I can tell they roll it down on the floor acroos the goal posts so whena  goalie dives he's not diving onto a hard surface. They had loads of this in the pads area.

The rubber sole does not mark but I noticed recently that in a situation where it doesn not mark at all....it DOES seem to leave big black footprints when landing a flip. I guess its to do with the friction and movement of the hoof etc so just be careful about that.

Yeah thats a good idea locky! At my old school they had a carpet thing they laid down for playing cricket on, so i may ask if they have  something similar i could use here.

My other idea is that i know the man who owns the local bike shop quite well and im sure he would give me an old tyre for free or next to nothing, if im lucky he may have a white childs tyre or something similar so its always worth asking.

For the last few weeks I have been looking for a good place to train, scrolling through the internet, calling up big sport centres etc. who didn't seem that interested.  Just as I was about to give up i drove past a very small leisure centre no more than 3 miles from where i live, didn't even know it existed! I had my bocks in the back of the car so I took then in and asked to see the manager.

Basically I struck gold! The guy was really interested and very supportive he then showed me a gym area in the centre with 4 or 5 really large crash mats, blocks, thin mats for gymnastics the whole lot. He said I can use the facility in the evenings and mornings during the week or weekends, and even said he wanted to have a go!. (Just couldn't believe it). So anyway first session Saturday morning, i'll try to take some pics.

Nice one Trip.
I'm off to a local sports college later to see on availability of renting their gym.
I'm doubting it will be worth it,
but unless I try...

Its really cool that everyone is starting to find gyms to practice in.
You never know in 6 months we may have a large group of flipping people!

The only problem i forsee is

I would also like some assurance that these powerisers will not mark the surface

With the tyre sock on it leaves small marks on the sports hall floor, does anyone know if the rubber pad does?
The only other alternative i had is to aquire a white tyre which wouldn't mark the floor.

Any ideas?

I took them in today to bounce with in me P.E lesson and to see if they marked the floor and without the Tyre sock they don't leave a mark which is good, im going to ring them soon to book my first session!!!
