Around here we call them crash mats, if you want you could probably ask around at your local gyms to see if they have any old ones they don't use and you could probably buy them for cheap

ok thanks man

You should just go practice at the gym anyway, you're going to be busting out in front of complete strangers at some point or another

Naw I agree, dude you shouldn't worry about 'surprising' anybody. I know how you feel but trust me in the end, even when you get the move, it'll be like "wow that's dope"...10 seconds later..."anyways, did you see that clip etc etc". Not worth hiding your moves just for something like that.

Anyways be careful with mats if you're practising stuff like airflares or whatever. It's cool to do it to get the technique down, but any move that involves wrists should be moved to a normal floor once the technique is learned. Mats let your wrist sink more since that's the whole point of them, they're cushioned - but by doing that your wrists will overstretch and this could cause injury later.

Where would you get that and how much would it cost? I've been looking for some sort of mat to practice flips on for some time now.
