An AirBlock is an inflatable air cushion, usually made of thick vinyl or rubber, used to create a safe and stable surface for gymnastics and other athletic activities. It looks like a mini version of the larger AirTracks commonly used in gyms, but offers the same features. This type of product is especially designed for easy transport and storage, making it an attractive option for those who are short on space or need a smaller device for their sports activity
Inflated, an AirBlock has a soft and springy surface that allows exercisers to confidently perform jumps, flips, tumbles and more. The air cushion helps absorb the impact of landing, protecting the user's joints from injury and reducing fatigue. In addition, the lightweight design can be easily moved if necessary
The construction of an AirBlock consists of several layers to maintain its shape when inflated. First there is a strong outer layer that prevents punctures or tears; then there is a fabric inner layer that gives extra support; then there are two inner layers – one filled with foam strips that give extra cushioning, while the other is dimensionally stable. All these separate layers come together to form a durable and reliable piece of sports equipment that is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use
In summary, an AirBlock is a smaller version of the popular one AirTrack for gymnastics and other sports activities. Its small size makes it ideal for users who don't have much space available, but still want to practice their sport safely without risk of injury or fatigue. Thanks to its multi-layer construction, it remains comfortable yet firm when inflated, giving users peace of mind during their exercise routine.

Differences
Airblock Vs Airtrack
The AirBlock is the perfect solution if you are looking for a piece of home gym. It's light enough to carry, sturdy enough to stand on and has extra height for more air time. You can use it as a separate object, but it can also be perfectly combined with the AirFloor or AirBoard.
The AirTrack, on the other hand, is the ultimate solution if you're looking for a professional training experience. It's big enough for a trainer to stand up to help athletes, has a long lifespan and comes with a free blower. In addition, it is easy to store once you have rolled it up and vacuumed it empty. In short, the AirTrack is the perfect choice for those looking for a professional training experience.
Conclusion
The AirBlock is an inflatable sports item that you can use at home to make somersaults from standing or as an extra high take-off for cartwheels and split jumps, for example. With the included Velcro system, you can firmly attach the AirBlock to your AirFloor. But you can also use it separately for learning somersaults, free cartwheels, split jumps and straight.
If you're looking for a fun way to workout at home, an AirBlock is a great option.
