Meet the BAGJUMP

Ever wonder how professional freestyle snowboarders and skiers practice their gravity-defying tricks?

As part of the private pre-Olympic Pipe Camp the BAGJUMP has been set up at Cardrona Alpine Resort in New Zealand. The 15m x 15m multi-chambered airbag set up by the Japanese national team is being used by German, Canadian, American and Kiwi riders practicing new freestyle moves in the lead up to Vancouver 2010.
