Lately we’ve had a lot of inquiries from people trying to decide between the NextStep Landers and the SendIt Flat AirBags — so we thought we would go through the benefits of each airbag to help anyone make a more informed decision. If you still have questions after this, let us know and we will happily give you a call so we can talk through it and you can be confident in your decision.
Ask yourself: what is your main use of the AirBag?
Most of the time people buy an airbag because they want a safe and fun way to learn new tricks that they can setup in their backyard or skatepark. For intermediate or advanced riders learning new tricks, the NextStep Landers are a good option as you can open up the vents on the airbag, making it softer and acting somewhat like a flat airbag with a slope-style landing.
For example: if you can do both a 360 and a barspin, and you want to combine them into a 360 barspin you know that you are going to get close in each attempt. If you open up the side vents it creates a softer, more mellowed out landing. After practicing the trick and landing it you can simply close all the vents so you can land your new trick and roll away easier.
Between the two AirBags, the NextStep Landers are by far the more popular option because there are just so many things you can do with it. From starting a new show team, setting it up at the skatepark as an add on or simply just having something safe to ride, the options with the NextStep landers are endless.
The SendIt Flat airbags are made for sending it and going on learning sprees — constantly coming up with new tricks and new ways to innovate like R-Willy. Flat airbags are great for any style of rider who wants to step up their game and learn as much as they can.
The flat SendIt Airbags is useful in learning bigger tricks like backflips and backflip variations, or anything that you are learning that is going to have a lot of wipeouts. This airbag is what you use when you want to send a new trick that you are not confident on and you want to learn as many new tricks as possible with the highest level of safety.
We understand that sometimes it can be a difficult decision to decide between the two airbags, so just send us an email with your phone number or WhatsApp and we will give you a call! After asking you just a few questions about what you’d use your airbag for and your idea around it, we are sure that you will be a lot more confident about your choice.
Keep sending it and stay safe!
