Pedestals

[Jackie_11]

Hi
Just wondering if any one knows where to get pedestals from (used for levers, handstands straddle ups etc). At present we have some press up stands from argos which are extremely useful for gymnasts to practise their levers however they can "cheat" beacuse they are near to the floor therefore have to lower to use the stands making it easier for them to lift their legs. I want to purchase some pedestals that are higher enabling the gymnasts to practise their levers like they were doing lever on hands (like in sports acro) or lever on back leg (sports acro). I have searched the web and cant seem to find anywhere that sells them. If any one knows where to get them please let me know.
Thanks

We actually purchased one set from a local sports acro club and then we asked a joiner to make more for us. Nearly each top has a set now, they were between £20-£25 to make. Im sure if you get even a picture of one a joiner would be able to make some.

I would have thought one of the Gym Suppliers such as Gymnova or someone else would sell these ! but then again i dunno (( Not much use i know, but its monday morning and i wanna go home already ))

At our club one of the coaches whos a dab hand at wood work makes them if and when we need some new ones...

I've just got back from a week's holiday and still have another week off Dave (jealous now?)

Our club (an acro club) have had all theirs made for them. We have some floor "boards" with hand holds on them as well as raised pedestals - most of the pedestals are metal. Having them made somewhere may be cheaper than buying them.
