| It's not the going, but the staying upside down that worries me. |

managed to land it clean on airbags most of the time but far to scared to take it to kickers 
I wish one day someone would build an airbag with a properly shaped kicker instead of something closer to a quarter pipe, something that closer to the real world and mimics a real park kicker
(i do understand why they are shaped the way they are btw!) |

I like how he says "this one is more about balls than skills".
Im not ready to believe that statement yet. Plus im not ready to risk my balls on a trick like that either. Im off to buy a trampoline though so i can pretend in the safety of my garden lol. |

| I have seen wedge shaped airbags though that better mimic actual landings. |

I know what you mean, trying to spin without flipping on them isn't easy and they make flipping way too easy. I'm sure that's why a lot of people hit their heads on take off because you literally just have to lean back on the usual airbag kicker. |

| They make airbag kickers whippy so you land on them more vertically than horizontally, to stop you sliding off at great speed and monging yourself when you land back on the ground, but yeah I would like a nice kicker with a slow run-in or something with a gap before the bag, if you are landing that eatly you should get confident on rollers first. |

| A sloped airbag with a snowflex surface would be a nice halfway house for this. You would still know you had landed on your head if you did, but at least you wouldnt be getting fed through a tube for the forseeable future! There used to be a foam pit at skaterham skatepark. If you put sheets of 8x4 onto it you could try mad stuff and actually land it properly. It hurt if you messed up but only a bit and its supposed to hurt a bit? right? |
