Jr. Kip Bar by Tumbl Trak

Build confidence with our strong, stable home kip bar

 Give your young gymnast confidence
Parents know that nothing ruins a young gymnast’s confidence like a cheaply-built bar that wobbles and lifts off the floor. We’ve built our rock-solid Gymnastics Home Kip Bar with a strong, sturdy base made of high-gauge steel. Our bar stays firmly on the floor, making your gymnast feel confident as they learn beginner routines.

 Choose a bar that puts safety first
Nothing’s more important to us than your kid’s well-being. We’ve created our kip bars with their safety in mind – eliminating hard corners, covering bolts in protective caps, and designing special spring-loaded pin knobs that lock firmly in place once you’ve set the bar’s desired height. This adds up to a bar that’s easily adjustable yet safe and secure.

 Feel the strength of solid beech – one of the strongest hardwoods on Earth
The centerpiece of our kip bars is a 1.5 inch diameter cut of solid beech. It’s the same size and feel as a competition bar that costs many times the price. Beech is one of the strongest hardwoods, with a bending strength of over 14,900 pounds per square inch. (By comparison, that elm in your backyard has a bending strength of only 11,800 psi!) Beech’s incredible strength makes for a firm, unyielding bar that your gymnast will trust as they learn increasingly complex skills.

 Watch out for competing bars that claim higher weight limits – as long as your gymnast isn’t actually doing gymnastics on them
All of our kip bars have a weight limit of 125 pounds. We’ve seen competing bars claiming weight limits of 200 or even 300 pounds. Here’s the difference: our weight limit is a true working load. It’s based on the load generated by a gymnast that’s swinging, circling, and kipping – in other words, actually using the bar as intended.

By contrast, many of our competitors measure their weight limit using static load – in other words, when the gymnast is only hanging from the bar and not moving or doing any routines! We don’t think that’s an honest measurement, and that’s why we insist on using an accurate weight limit even if it makes us look lower in an “apples to oranges” comparison.
