The Tumbl Trak Smart Wedge is a dense foam gymnastics training block measuring 72 inches tall by 41 inches by 22 inches wide, designed to be positioned in three different wedge angles to support a wide range of skill progressions - from beginner floor work through advanced bar skills - in gymnastics clubs, cheer programmes, and movement education settings across North America. It is a purpose-built skill progression tool developed by someone who has coached athletes to Olympic and World Championship medals.

The three wedge angles are the core of what makes this product different from a standard foam block or incline mat. Each orientation creates a different geometric relationship between the athlete's body and the mat surface - changing the height assistance, the angle of approach, and the progressive difficulty of the skill being trained. A coach can change the skill station in seconds by repositioning the wedge rather than swapping equipment.

Three Wedge Angle Applications

Position 1 - Tall vertical face - placed with the tallest face vertical and resting against a bar structure or wall, the wedge creates a ramp that athletes use to climb up to a tall station or bar level; athletes preparing to work at bar height can use this configuration to approach the bar from the floor progressively without a step or vault table

Position 2 - Inclined surface - positioned as a traditional inclined wedge, the Smart Wedge functions as a skills-development ramp for tumbling progressions (forward rolls, backward rolls, kickovers, back extensions), beam work, and any skill that benefits from a slightly elevated starting point

Position 3 - As a bar station topper - placed on top of Tumbl Trak's Al Fong Spotting Blocks, the Smart Wedge creates a visual and physical progression tool for cast and clear hip to handstand development; athletes can see their feet landing progressively higher on the wedge surface as they work toward vertical, providing instant proprioceptive feedback that accelerates the development of this skill

Key Features of the Tumbl Trak Smart Wedge

• Three Interchangeable Wedge Angles from One Block - One block creates three distinct training configurations by repositioning orientation; a coach can transition from a tumbling ramp to a bar station tool to a climb ramp within seconds by rotating the wedge to its next position; no separate equipment purchase required for each application
• 72in x 41in x 22in - Commercial Gymnasium Scale - At 72 inches tall this is a full-height gymnastics training block; the 41-inch depth and 22-inch width provide a stable, substantial base in all three positions; sized for commercial club use, not home gymnastics
• Dense Foam Construction - The dense foam core provides the structural firmness required for skill progression work - firm enough to hold position and shape under load, with enough give to provide a forgiving contact surface; this is not soft play foam
• Heavy-Grade, Easy-to-Clean Vinyl Cover - Heavy-grade vinyl wraps the foam and withstands the repeated contact, weight bearing, and grip of daily gymnastics training; wipes clean easily for hygiene maintenance in club settings
• Sturdy Handles for Quick Repositioning - Sturdy handles allow a coach to reposition the wedge between its three orientations and move it between stations quickly during class transitions
• Al Fong Spotting Block Compatible - The Smart Wedge is designed to be placed on top of Tumbl Trak's Al Fong Spotting Blocks for the advanced bar progression configurations; sold individually on The Sensory Supply
• Designed in the USA - Designed by Tumbl Trak in the USA in collaboration with Al Fong to commercial gymnasium standards

Skills Developed with the Tumbl Trak Smart Wedge

• Cast & Clear Hip to Handstand - The progressive height feedback of the wedge placed on Spotting Blocks accelerates handstand development on bars by giving athletes immediate visual confirmation of their vertical progress; athletes build the correct body shape and pushing mechanics through repetition with feedback that is impossible to achieve without a visual reference surface
• Back Extension Rolls & Kickovers - The inclined wedge position provides gravity assistance for back extension rolls and kickovers, allowing athletes to feel the correct body arc and timing before attempting these skills on a flat floor
• Giant Swing Mechanics - The wedge supports floor bar and low bar giant swing progressions by providing height assistance during the up-swing portion and a safe contact surface during down-swing drills
• Body Shaping & Spatial Awareness - The three angle positions create varied proprioceptive challenges; athletes working across all three orientations develop a more complete body spatial awareness and body-shaping vocabulary that translates directly to bar, beam, and floor performance

Note: This product is designed for commercial gymnasium use under trained coach supervision. It is not recommended as unsupervised home play equipment. Spotting Blocks are sold separately. Always use under trained coach or adult supervision.

Ideal for

• Gymnastics clubs building advanced bar skill progression stations
• Coaches developing cast to handstand, giant swing, and hip circle progressions
• Competitive gymnastics programmes at all levels from developmental through elite
• Movement education and school gymnastics programmes requiring a multi-angle progression block
