I tried persuading my ANAL gymnastics club...nada! they're anal coz its been rebuilt with loto money and is one of the best in europe! Benfield in Newcastle on Tyne! but cant blame em man they hold adult sessions there 3 times a wk (A condition of their mega millions of funding) so the community do get to use it.
Weirdly tho, you can walk in there a complete beginner and use the place to flip around with NO training what so ever!!
they freaked wen i brought ma PJ's, all sorts of mis-conceptions bout damaging their beautiful gym and foam pits.

wen this stuff hits in the new year they'll have missed the exposure coz i'm using an arts centre i've padded out with a second hand gymnastics floor. Got it set up with a harness for flips!! 2007 will see lots of these facilities being set up and made accessible to alternative & extreme sports, so do give up guys, theres always a way round the problem. happy xmas & see you next year, Ricochet.

My local sport centre where I've had four trampolining lessons, suggested that I bring my Projumps in and the coach will get some crash mats out for me. I've managed to do forward sumersaults on the trampoline, although he sticks a crash mat over it on the count of three. Next lesson without the crash mat, then out come the double crash mats for me to practice sumersault on the stilts.

I guess the answer is to take up trampolining, and then talk about ProJumps a bit, then you never know curiosity will take over, and they let you have a play on them. Local Gymnastics club had a full adult membership, so no go there, and not really enough room in front of the foam pit anyway. Also they have a sprung floor which I guess makes it harder.

My advice is take to Trampolining and get the motion of foward and backwards sumerrsaults in a safe environment, then go for the Projump stuff. Will let you know how it goes.

My lessons are group ones on two trampolines and cost £18 for 4 x 1.5 hour sessions each Thursday, next lesson 11th January 2007

In Hove area on the south coast.

Do they have any adult classes at the weekend? I cant find one in my area and am willing to get on a train at weekends to get to somewhere that does

Athoul · « **Reply #36 on:** May 08, 2007, 03:41:03 PM »

Clever, but breaking and entering is highly illegal.
And all the crashmats are locked away in a store cupboard anyway.
