is it true that they fuck up your skis?

Ive never had it happen to me or a friend so I don't think so. However burrs in your edges can put holes in the air bag

I've hit an airbag a few times and my skis have always been fine. I'm not really sure how it could wreck your skis anyways.

do whatever you want. Its an airbag so there are basically no consequences.

I could see that after some sketch landings, but after 1 or 2 times you should be alright.

I have airbags in my truck in case I get in an accident. I keep my skis in the bed. I don't think the airbags would hurt the skis.

Its a bag.

Full of air.

This is as dumb as the thread a few years back asking if water would hurt your skis

I would focus on rodes/flatspins. Maybe try a backflip once but you well prob get it first try. I learned rodeos on a bag end of last season and they are fairly easy to bring around. Maybe try a couple corks if you have unlimited hits on the bag, but i've heard they are alot harder/require alot more commitment to bring to snow.
