Performance Benefits
Maximized Athlete Safety: Inspired by the need to prevent serious impact injuries associated with wooden obstacles, the shock-absorbing foam core provides a forgiving landing zone in the event of a fall.
Confidence and Form Focus: The non-skid top surface and dense foam offer reliable stability and grip. This allows athletes to push their limits and focus strictly on their balance and form without the fear of falling on hard edges.
Quick Setup and Portability: The modular, two-piece design connected by Velcro® allows a single user to assemble the ramp for a workout and quickly dismantle it to free up floor space.
Versatile Application: While engineered for handstand walks and obstacle courses, the individual stair and ramp pieces can be utilized separately for various mobility drills, stretching, or plyometric movements.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning the Exterior: The durable ripstop vinyl should be wiped down after use with a damp cloth or a mild, non-abrasive antibacterial wipe to remove sweat and hand chalk. This preserves the integrity of the non-skid surface.
Velcro Maintenance: Regularly inspect the 3" Velcro connection points and clear them of any lint, chalk, or debris to ensure the ramp and stairs lock together tightly and safely during use.
Storage Environment: Store the sections indoors in a dry, climate-controlled environment. Avoid leaving the ramp exposed to extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight, which can prematurely degrade the foam core and vinyl cover.
Foam Care: Do not place or drop heavy barbells, dumbbells, or sharp equipment on the ramp, as this can permanently puncture the vinyl or deform the dual-density foam.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How are the two pieces connected?
A: The ramp and stair sections are joined together using a heavy-duty 3-inch Velcro® strip, which keeps the obstacle securely locked in place during use while allowing for easy separation afterward.
Q: Is the foam too soft to balance on during a handstand walk?
A: No. The ramp is engineered with a specialized dual-density foam core system. This provides a firm, stable foundation to support the athlete's body weight while remaining yielding enough to prevent injury during a fall.
Q: Can one person move this obstacle?
A: Yes. The entire unit weighs 55 lbs, broken down into a 35 lb ramp and a 20 lb stair section. It is specifically designed to be lightweight enough for a single person to move and store.
Q: What is the exterior made of?
A: The exterior is wrapped in a highly durable ripstop vinyl, complete with a specialized non-skid top surface to ensure maximum grip for the hands.
