Re: Mats question - sprung floor necessary on concrete?

Thanks for the great ideas.

I'm not really going for "street" realism, more safety. I just want to make sure that people don't wreck their knees or spine from training on concrete. If it is safe enough to go straight to concrete then that's probably what I'll do (much simpler and easier).

I save my concrete ukemi training for when I'm bombing around on the skateboard!

Having said that, the bicycle tire idea sounds like it might be a bit too bouncy. Do you really notice it, or is it more subtle?
