Air bag vs huck it

So this year I can for sure say that I didn't learn as many jump tricks as I'd hoped, I was able to confidently get 3s and 5s with a variety of grabs which I wasn't able to do before as well as flatspin 3s which I stopped doing because I was setting more of a weird under flip like flip with a Japan and it made me feel like I was going to die in the air and after realizing I was throwing it wrong, I wanted to re learn how do them on the trampoline but never had the chance too, I could also backflip of course but I wanted to learn corks and rodeos but I never got too, was looking to get so,e airbag time but with the lack of snow that never happened. I've seen a lot of the local kids progress a bunch and they learned a ton of new tricks like cork 7s and rodeos and such but I'm not sure they really got any bag time, so my question is when you guys learn new flips on the tramp do you send them into the bag or just go for them on snow? I set my first weird flatspin flip without a bag and landed it but as far as cork 3s 5s and 7s go as well as rodeos idk if I have the balls to just send those.

As long as you got them solid on tramp you'll be safe. You won't land on your head and you won't get hurt if it's slushy. Just send it son, cuz you know exactly what you're doing. Last Sunday I sent cork 7 and put it straight to the feet first try. Airbags are unnecessary if you have the slightest bit of air awareness.

Just gotta commit and try it. All the tricks I learnt I just tried on snow. Trampoline helps, I just get trick on trampoline first then try on snow. Airbags are ok but trying on snow is a different feel.

Practice on trampoline until you are pretty comfortable with the trick and then throw it on snow

I don't like airbags

when I take off from a jump, i'm used to compensating for the the uphill slope of the lip to the downhill slope of the landing. The airbag landing is flat, and usually a pretty sticky material, if I land on my feet it always results in me double ejecting head first into the airbag hard

snow doesn't hurt more anyways, as long as you get your trick around

For me, I'm all for the air bag. I can cork 3-9 to both sides with tons of graps on the tramp, and rodeo/flat to both sides with grabs up to 7 on the tramp but when I tried a cork 7 into an airbag it took me over 20 times to nail it to a point I could ride away from it on the air bag. Your call OP, but consider your health before you just huck something.
