An acrobatic training apparatus, consisting of:
- a first elongated base platform having first and second elongated parallel base struts connected by a first elongated cross member at a first end of each of the first and second elongated parallel base struts and a second elongated cross member at a second end of each of the first and second elongated parallel base struts, the first elongated base platform extending in a first horizontal plane;
- a second elongated base platform having third and fourth elongated parallel base struts connected by a third elongated cross member at a first end of each of the third and fourth elongated parallel base struts and a fourth elongated cross member at a second end of each of the third and fourth elongated parallel base struts, the second elongated base platform extending in a second horizontal plane and located below and separated from the first elongated base platform;
- a plurality of elongated vertical members extending vertically upward from the first elongated base platform, wherein the plurality of elongated vertical members connect the second elongated base platform to the first elongated base platform;
- a raised section mounted on the first elongated base platform and having a pair of end portions and a pair of side portions extending between the plurality of elongated vertical members;
- a first upper support member integrally connected to a first pair of elongated vertical members of the plurality of elongated vertical members;
- and
- a second upper support member integrally connected to a second pair of elongated vertical members of the plurality of elongated vertical members;
- a first pair of spaced apart elongated height adjustment support members extending vertically upward from the first elongated parallel base strut;
- and
- a second pair of spaced apart elongated height adjustment support members extending vertically upward from the second elongated parallel base strut;
- and
- an opening extending vertically into the raised section, wherein the opening has a vertical depth which increases from a front end of the opening to a middle portion of the opening, wherein the vertical depth of the opening decreases from the middle portion of the opening to a back end of the opening;
- wherein the front end of the opening is located a first distance from a first end portion of the pair of end portions of the raised section and a second distance from a second end portion of the pair of end portions of the raised section;
- and
- wherein the first distance is different from the second distance.
