Re: Sitting on top of tubes

Has anyone else noticed that they are really only about 7.5" high, not 9.5 like the rulebook claims? So it sank about an inch, although I can't give you a number for how much weight we used. Tomorrow when the weightroom is open we're gonna go try it out with exactly 135 lbs (have to add in bumpers).
