Flexible Trampoline Frame Bar Testing

Not too long ago, Tumbletrak came out with the quick flex bar as an alternative to the more traditional frame bar.

The inherent padding makes hitting and crashing on the bar a non-issue, as far as the fear of acquiring bumps and bruises go.

Love the idea of it, but the product is $239.

Coach Ben came up with a low-budget version that amounts to less than $20.

Still am thinking of brackets to support the ends of the ratchet trailer tie-down, but so far this might be a fun and inexpensive addition for a bar drills station.

I don't see a whole lot of carry-over value in their usage (with the exception of maybe drilling the throw on Tkatchevs); but within a narrow scope and range of skills, and with some creativity, I think the trampoline bar is good to have. It's also fun; and making drills fun and interesting is sometimes one of the challenging aspects of coaching.
