While everyone else was relaxing during the summer gymnastics break, the Sandro family was hard at work. Nistor and family built a new foam pit and deck with some help from Tudor. The new foam pit and trampoline are great assets for skill development. Trampolines give you extra air time. The loose foam cubes in the pit provide a soft landing when learning challenging skills like double inversions. With the new set up, athletes have the ability to perform bar, rings, and tumbling skills into the pit.
Check out the construction process. Here comes the wood. There were many, many loads like this making Nistor's van groan under the weight.

The construction process begins!
Here comes the foam! The white foam goes at the bottom of the pit with the blue foam cubes on top. That is a lot of foam cubes!
The pit is ready to be filled.
The final product looks great!
