FAQs
What age group is the Orbiter used for?
On it's own, the Orbiter is appropriate for taller athletes (approximately 1.5m or taller). However, with the two Booster Blocks which go on the floor underneath the unit, younger athletes can easily use the Orbiter for back handsprings, front handsprings, round-off, back tucks and much more.
Can the Rings be used separately?
When the foam Orbiter Rings are taken off, it becomes a recreational or preschool coaches dream. Between the Air Barrel and foam rings, a coach can have endless options and easily three or more stations for their athletes.
What if I already own an Air Barrel?
If you already own 60cm Air Barrel, you can purchase the Orbiter Rings and the two Booster Blocks separately.
