CYR have been using an airbag for jump training for the last 12 years with great success and providing a massive confidence-boost for the kids.
The airbag gives all participants from seven years to adults the safety and confidence to go outside their comfort zone.
They can jump a bike onto the bag from the FMX ramp subject to set jumping skills levels having been achieved. The airbag allows jump training/ "big air" in it's basic form to be undertaken with a minimum of risk to the rider. Bikes as light as autos and as heavy as 450s are all cushioned with equally great effect.
For more advanced riders.
CYR have recently introduced the latest DD Lander air bag, custom made with certain safety features incorporated. A first for under-18 FMX training in this country, allowing child/adolescent would-be future stars of the Nitro Circus, Red Bull X-fighters and the UK team Bolddog FMX the opportunity to try this exciting variant of the MX sport. Previously any tricks, new or mastered, had to be landed to a foam pit or dirt. Dirt allowed zero tolerance for inaccurate technique, foam pits never allowed the rider to fully land the trick and ride out. The air bag remedies these issues.
