We train at the Kupittaa sportshall
and Vasaramäki school (spiral) in Turku. At the moment we have seven
wheel; 165, 185, 200,
205, 210, 215 and 220 cm in diametre. The ideal wheel size is about
40-50 cm more than the gymnast's own height, depending on the category
(straight line, spiral or vault). Other factors such as gymnast's
physics can, however, change this thumb rule. International training camps are arranged every other summer by the International Rhönrad Association IRV. During the last few years there have been camps in Germany, Italy, Norway and Portugal, and summer 2002 we will travel to Spain! Anybody interested can book a lesson on the phone numver/e-mail address below, or contact your nearest wheel gymnastics club. You don't need anything more complicated than a pair of tennis shopes to start with. People of any age are welcome, and, naturally, we start with the very basics. |
