About The Costs

Ride The Airbag, while thrilling and captivating, can come with considerable costs, a reflection of the high-caliber experience it offers. Firstly, the price tag often reflects the decades of experience behind this opportunity. Such experience ensures a flawless, professional team but also contributes to the overall expense.

A significant factor in the cost is the insurance. Given the nature of bicycle jumping, while still contained within the world’s best training equipment, insurance premiums are substantial to protect all involved – the participants, the audience, and the organizers. These experiences aren’t just about jumping onto an airbag; they’re conducted by professional athletes who bring years of training and expertise. Their status not only guarantees an unparalleled experience but also means higher fees for their talent and skills.

Moreover, the logistics of travel and transporting specialized equipment add to the expenses. The experience entails moving a team of professionals, along with high-end equipment and gear, potentially over long distances. This logistics management is crucial for a hassle-free experience but adds to the budget.

If budget is a concern, please reach out to our Founder/CEO, Dustin Grice to see what may be possible based on the date and time of year of your event.

Participant Requirements:

• Signed Waiver (Parent if under 18)
• Bike, Scooter, or Skateboard
• Helmet Required, Pads Optional
• Positive Attitude & Ready to RIDE!

Space & Surface Requirements

• Ballpark 200-300′ long by 30′ wide in total PER AIRBAG (100′ long by 30′ wide for where the jump and landing areas are located, and then the additional 100+ as a narrow 5-10′ wide runway into that area to gain speed for the jump, think of this as a long runway).
• Airbags can also be set up in a bi-directional format to help save on the total width of the space… This means a rider would jump one ramp, and then one the way back jump the other ramp. This allows the wide airbags to not sit next to each other allowing for an overall narrower layout.
• We also, however, have a starting ramp that can be quoted which will cut this footprint in half if necessary.
• The harder the surface, the better, faster, and higher we can perform.
• Roads work very well, even narrow sidewalks can work well.
• Gravel can work if swept. Grass or Dirt can work if completely dry and flat or slightly downhill to help gain speed. Plywood on-site helps in these situations.
• Starting on pavement, and ending in the grass where we land can also work well.
• Sand is about the only surface that is unacceptable.

Sample Course Layouts

*This can be flexible, however in general the more space participants have, the more comfortable they are learning. Hard surfaces are best to pedal on. The landing side of the course can also be into grass to save on space if necessary where participants will be stopping.
