:D double-ended runway INSIDE the house with pits on each side... so you don't have to waste the energy walking back to your mark :P

trampoline room is a must lol good call Mecham.


Outside would be another runway.. but no pits at the end :eek: just the plantbox built into a deck so you can vault into the pool.

Okay...i would want a couple indoor pits and runways. I would also want one or two outside. I wouldn't want to vault into a pool though cause that doesn't suit me. but i would want a swinging rope into one of the indoor pits and also uneven bars, a trampoline, a climbing rope, a weight room, and even though i am not a gymnast i would still want the spring flor cause i like to tumble. But the one thing i would want the most is like a miniature pit for my bed!
This year your gonna have to work twice as hard.
