The Tumbl Trak Porta Trak is the foldable, portable version of the Original Tumbl Trak - a spring-bed gymnastics tumbling track built on a durable aluminium frame that folds in half without tools and rolls away on casters, available in 15-foot, 20-foot, and 30-foot lengths, used in gymnastics clubs, YMCAs, city recreation programmes, exhibition teams, and mobile coaching programmes across North America. It offers the same spring-bed performance and training quality as the Original Tumbl Trak, in a frame that weighs approximately half as much and can be stored in significantly less floor space.

The Porta Trak was developed specifically for programmes that cannot leave a permanent tumbling track set up - whether because the space is shared, the equipment must be stored each night, or the programme moves between facilities. Small clubs that operate out of rented spaces, recreation departments running multi-use gym floors, exhibition teams that travel, and mobile coaches who set up and break down equipment at each location have all made the Porta Trak a standard piece of their equipment inventory.

How the Folding System Works

The 15-foot and 20-foot Porta Traks fold in half along a central hinge point, reducing their total length to 7.5 feet and 10 feet respectively. The 30-foot unit folds inward from both edges, reducing to a total length of 15 feet. In all cases, casters built into the folded frame allow the unit to be wheeled to storage or a different position without lifting. No tools are required for folding or unfolding. For safety, Tumbl Trak recommends using appropriate assistance when folding and transporting any Porta Trak due to its size and weight.

One important performance note: the Porta Trak has more spring than most tumbling surfaces, including the Original Tumbl Trak in some configurations. Coaches introducing new athletes to the Porta Trak are advised to begin with standing skills before progressing to approach-based tumbling, to account for the increased rebound.

Recommended Landing Surfaces

Two landing surface options are recommended by Tumbl Trak for the end of the Porta Trak:

• The 6ft x 12ft Dismount Mat - the dedicated landing mat designed with straps that fasten to the Porta Trak frame end
• The Air Platform Mat combined with a 5ft x 10ft x 8in Practice Mat as a landing surface

Always add a suitable crash mat or landing surface to the end of the Porta Trak. Never use without a landing surface in place.

Key Features of the Tumbl Trak Porta Trak

• Aluminium Frame - Half the Weight of the Original - The aluminium frame weighs approximately half as much as the powder-coated steel frame of the Original Tumbl Trak; significantly easier to manoeuvre and move despite being the same functional tumbling surface
• Built-In Casters for Wheeled Storage - Casters built into the folded frame allow the Porta Trak to be wheeled to a storage position or new location without lifting the full unit
• 53in Wide Polypropylene Bed with 4in Springs - The 53in-wide polypropylene bed and standard 4in springs deliver the same spring-bed tumbling surface as the Original Tumbl Trak; the same progressive skill approach applies
• Three Lengths: 15ft, 20ft, 30ft - Three length options accommodate different facility sizes and programme needs; all ship via Motor Freight; price varies by length
• Recommended for Clubs, YMCAs, Recreation Programmes & Mobile Coaches - The manufacturer specifically identifies small clubs, city recreation centres, YMCAs, exhibition teams, and mobile programmes as the primary users; any programme that must put equipment away regularly
• Frame Bar Compatible - The Frame Bar attachment fits the Porta Trak for bar skill training stations; bar pad recommended for the exposed end due to the Porta Trak's narrower width; Quick Flex Bar not recommended
• Made in the USA - Made by Tumbl Trak in the USA to commercial gymnasium standards; all models ship via Motor Freight

Note: Always use under trained coach supervision. The Porta Trak has more spring than most tumbling surfaces - introduce new athletes progressively starting from standing skills.

Replace the polypropylene bed every 5-6 years for safety.
