innovative for sure...

 

[notomatoplz]

sick idea, its gonna allow for some crazy progression

 

[Jwalk]

that would be so fun

 

[rynmartn]

wow I can safely say thats actually really really cool!!!!!

 

[spiegel]

thatd be baller to superman onto that bag then do a worm turn and ride away at the bottom.

 

[Squirrel_Murphy]

definetly some pros and cons but overall, looks pretty sick

 

[skithe49th]

soo sick i want one

 

[zerospinskier]

Well that woulda saved me a lot of bad falls on first attempts. I wonder how ski friendly it is? Seems like you could tweak a knee pretty easily.

 

[hellomynameisjef]

props to that guy for giving back to the industry after being cripled

 

[griffon]

thats sick, wonder how long time its going to go before the parks have it

 

[scott-skis]

thats so sick definatly gonna help progression

and way less injuries, looks like alot of fun

 

[PhilboydStudge]

that'd be sick. but they have to get it going for skiing

 

[mokeefe257]

sick idea and definatly gonna lead to some sick stuff goin down

 

[japanada]

I wonder how much that thing costs. It is sick as hell though.

[ButteredToast.]

HAHAHA

 

[BravoWhiskey5280]

ahah i love that show

 

[DON_EMILIONE]

put this at camp of champions

 

[fourhundred]

does anyone else feel reallllly bad for that dude

 

[sirskizalot]

the rail in there at 23 seconds is at the elementary school i went to.

 

[Karcher]

i really want to use that for just like one day

 

[Ryno]

I'd really like to see some skiers review these airbags...

*winkwink*

 

[aculbs]

it looks sick, kinda like a resi in the skate world. could ski poles burst it? or even bounce up into your face/body

 

[Shlogan]

that would be sick for begginers just getting into bigger jjumps too

 

[Hood.[scdb]]

dope idea

 

[Canuker]

i feel horrible for him, i dont know what i would do if i was crippled. +vibes to him

and that thing is so fucking sick, i can definetly see it being put at summer camps and such, or maybe even having demo days at hills kinda. Where they set up one jump for a day or weekend and have people shred it. I would love trying that not only because of the lesser chance of injury but also because the main reason i dont try lots of things is because im scared too

 

[Powdered_Donuts]

zommmg that is dopesauce

 

[Pee_and_Ski]

looks sick but on skis im kinda sure you could wreck your knees. it be fun try though

 

[Smuffy]

that such a sick invention. and maaad mad props for the guy who though of him. much respect to keeping with the sport even after a life changing injury like that.

 

[BigMeech621]

my question to you sir....

what hurts your knees more, a powder landing or an icy landing?

 

[Dylan_]

windam mountain got one

 

[Justin.B]

im so stoked for this!

 

[spotter487]

i know there is no way my mountain is going to buy one but it looks like it would be sick to try new stuff on

 

[jib_danboy]

thats awesome! props to the guy who invented it!

 

[.Brink.]

looks sick but hard to maintain

 

[pspaller]

so tight

 

[sick-as-aids]

that looks way rad

 

[Shredneck]

it a double edge sword ...( like the foam pit for freestyle mx ) It will progress tricks to a level that will be impossible for most people to achieve without the airbag. guarntee overall injuries increase due to the need for everyone to step up their game that doesnt have an airbag

 

[Craigskis]

That's pretty awesome.

 

[C.R.E.A.M]

i dont think that will work as well for skis unless you are on some huge planks. and you would have to pretty much land perfect on skis, cause your gonna put too much pressure on the bag and its gonna give in

maybe it could be adjusted for skis?

 

[K.C.dia]

That is so sick! The other air bags supposedly have to have super steep jumps onto them because they are a flat landing. They say that it makes it so you can do some crazy tricks, but only on jumps that almost no mountain has. But with this thing, you could have just a normal park jump, but also have the safety of the air bag. It's such a brilliant idea.

 

[GreenStezz]

i could sesh that all day!!........

 

[A.R.]

i would sooooooooo love to hit that

 

[Pippin]

Definitely has potential, but i am sure it can be improved

 

[anti_bunk]

i wana hit that so bad

 

[highflyer21]

yo people think of everything nowadays, that is sick though!

 

[caucasian_chad]

yeah i could see one of those being full of holes after one day of sharp metal edges. Unless you were required to detune.

 

[eurotune2]

that is a sweet idea, that is going to help people get better wayyy faster, i wanna try it out

 

[mtsteez03]

looks like fun and for sure could help progress the sport

 

[popNfresh44]

thats awesome, its like the COC bagjump but better. looks like it would be less of a hassle to set up as well

 

[Literature]

The inherent proposition is that landings are hard. Why not just land in powder? That solves the problems. If you don't have pow, there are many things you can do to obtain some.

My guess is that the sense of accomplishment that comes with dialing in a new trick is cheapened with these airbags (what fun is this if there is no danger or difficulty to it?), and that they will only promote crazier and riskier tricks on actual snow, therefore creating more danger than is there now. However, I would have a fun time moondropping into one for an afternoon.
