Orbiter – A Versatile Tumbling Trainer for All Skill Levels
The Orbiter is a multi-functional gymnastics training tool that combines an Air Barrel with two firm Foam Rings to create a dynamic and adjustable tumbling trainer. Designed to help athletes master back handsprings, front handsprings, round-offs, back tucks, and more, the Orbiter offers versatility, safety, and independent training opportunities for gymnasts of all levels.
Each component—the Air Barrel and Foam Rings—can be used separately, creating multiple drill stations in your gym for preschool, recreational, and advanced training programs. The Orbiter is an excellent tool for reducing the need for constant spotting, allowing athletes to safely develop their skills with confidence.
Key Features & Benefits
◦ Multi-Use Training Tool – Ideal for tumbling drills, including handsprings, tucks, and round-offs.
◦ Adjustable & Modular Design – The Air Barrel (24 inches in diameter, 42 inches long) and Foam Rings can be used together or separately for customized training.
◦ Independent Stations – The Foam Rings separate into donut halves, making them great for additional drills like crawling, jumping, handstands, bridges, and back handspring training.
◦ Booster Blocks for Custom Sizing – Add Booster Blocks to raise the Orbiter, making it suitable for gymnasts of all heights.
◦ Durable & High-Quality Construction – Built with 18 oz. knife-coated vinyl and dense PU foam for long-lasting performance.
◦ Secure & Stable Design – Velcro flaps keep the Foam Rings together, providing a firm and consistent tumbling surface.
◦ Portable & Easy to Use – Lightweight and includes a dual-action hand pump for quick inflation and easy transport.
Perfect for Gyms, Recreational Programs & Preschool Training
The Orbiter is not just for tumbling—it’s an excellent tool for coaches looking to create multiple stations with just one piece of equipment. The Foam Rings can be used separately for preschool and recreational programs, offering creative jumping, crawling, and agility drills. By removing the rings, the Air Barrel can be used independently for even more training variations.
For taller athletes (5 feet or taller), the Orbiter is perfect as is. However, adding Booster Blocks raises the unit, making it accessible for younger athletes as well. If you already own an Air Barrel, you can purchase Orbiter Rings separately to expand your training options.
