    I might be tempted to try a few jumps with an airbag underneath first, but not chancing it on a regular jump until I'd be more confident of actually staying the right way up in the air and being able to land in approximately the right direction. That reporter giving it a go was a bit chicken though, going along find and then stopping everytime just before the top of the jump. :D

    Yeah she was a bit chicken, i wouldnt give a damn about falling once that airbag was there, Full speed ahead!!

    I do use the kickers when im snowboarding, you should just give it a go to get the feel for it, its the only way really, i cracked my rear end a lot when i first started on the kickers but you eventually get the hang of it.

    I never seen any of these anywhere in Austria. In saying that though I can't remember any of the snowparks in Saalbach. Learn the hard way :D
