By 23rd April 2020November 12th, 2020No Comments

Redefine your limits

Under the slogan ‘redefine your limits’’ BigAirBag® has blurred the lines between imagination and reality. Over the last fifteen years BigAirBag® has worked with some of the worlds best freestyle athletes, resorts, brand names and event agencies. The constant demand to raise the levels of safety in extreme sports, has driven innovation and product development. Our customers can rely on the highest standards that provide all.

The Landing BigAirBag®

01 The product

After years of development we unveiled the BigAirBag® LANDING which redefined the athlete limitations and advances progression in freestyle action sports.

The revolutionary design and fully customizable shape means the jump bag adopts the contour of the landing area it covers, providing fall safe protection at the knuckle, on the landing ramp itself and finally in the run out area. The result is an ultra realistic training platform that mimics a real landing ramp delivering better impact absorption than a foam pit while still remaining more forgiving than a resi ramp.

Most airbags that we see in the Alps are flat, but this is where this one is different – it’s the shape of an actual landing, so once you’ve got it down here, you can replicate the trick on snow. This allows to perfectly learn the correct take off and phycical landing.

The Latest Features

Steep backwall for extra fall protection 

Modular backstop designed for winter sport activities that provides sufficient distance to slow you down after hitting the kicker and landing correctly.

One piece system

The complete construct inflates in one and is a perfect portable solution for freestyle shows and training facilities without the need for dirt or snow excavation.

Hard wedge

Triangular shaped hill, lifting your BigAirBag® in required angle using sufficient strengthened internal down drops and a horizontal power structure for optimal stability. The Landing wedge is equipped with heavy-duty anchorage points around the bottom and can be detached completely from the BigAirBag®.

Non-friction
topsheet technology

The highly advanced Non-Friction Topsheet material combines strength, durability, flexibility and elasticity. It is neither grippy, nor abrasive allowing you to land and ride away even with tiny wheels of a skateboard or sharp ski and snowboard edges. In addition, there are no wrinkles and no lubricant is needed.

Customizable airbag

The shape and size of the BigAirBag® LANDING are fully customizable meaning it can be manufactured to cover virtually any landing surface, ramp, hill or contour. An inflatable safety barrier can also be added on the sides of the landing area to prevent riders from sliding off the BigAirBag®.

Innovative blower
system inside

The innovative blower system is enclosed within the airbag providing protection from the elements, reduced noise, and increased safety by eliminating the risk of kinked blower hoses or unwanted access to the blowers themselves. The optional Blower Alarm System delivers further safety and peace of mind by warning the operator in the event of a blower defect or power cut.

Crowdfunding

If you’re concerned about the initial cost of a BigAirBag®, you can always reach out to the public and other businesses to help generate the money required. Crowdfunding is effectively a form of fundraising but conducted entirely online.

Sponsorship and branding

Merchandise

We have a large selection of branded products we can sell at a cheaper bulk price ready for you to sell to your customers. Alternatively, if you’d prefer something more personalised to your brand, we can co-design bespoke merchandise courtesy of our supplier network.

Fundraising events
