Looking to progress your tricks, but not sure how to choose the right airbag for your mountain bike stunts? You’re not alone!
Being a savvy mountain biker and stunt kicker is all about making smart decisions, after all, and getting the right airbag is monumentally important.
We’ll help you strike the right balance between finding an appropriate challenge that develops your MTB skills while preventing anything that puts you or any of your fellow riders at risk.
Your setup should match your riding level, the tricks you want to learn, and the available space you have. Gravity Stunt Systems offers two main styles, and each one shines in a different kind of practice session.
At Gravity Stunt Systems, we’re here to help! We are a family-run business that started creating landing gear for our own kids, and things just sort of – shall we say – took off from there when we didn’t see what we were looking for on the market, both price-wise, convenience-wise, and most importantly, safety-wise.
Fortunately, we’re just as passionate about and talented at designing cool stuff for aerospace engineering as we are about mountain biking!
As a result, our worlds collided and got us some really out-of-this-world options, including the Pluto Lander for our newest kickers, the fiery Mars Lander for our most experienced riders, and a Lunar Lander for all of your giant leaps and daring mountain bike jumps from your backyard.
It’s what happens when we’re a family of builders who like to send it big, and know the science behind making it happen.
Both styles help riders practice more safely, but they do not feel the same once the wheels leave the lip. One gives you a broad, cushioned target for backyard mountain bike jumps. The other feels closer to landing on a real jump line.
If you are still torn, think about what gives you the most peace of mind. Riders getting comfortable in the air often love the flatter, more forgiving feel. Riders focused on jump progression usually want a true lander.
However, if you have the space, why not convert your yard or the end of your neighborhood into a pop-up bike park and opt for both?
Gravity Stunt Systems keeps the lineup pretty straightforward. Each model is built around rider level, jump size, and the kind of backyard mountain bike jumps you want to practice, so families, weekend riders, and progressing athletes can find a bag that makes sense without overspending or arranging for a session at a bike park.
Explore our ready-to-roll options and choose the right airbag for mountain bike stunts, and get ready to
Yes, sometimes. It depends less on age and more on how similar the riders are in jump size, speed, and goals.
If one rider is just learning while another is chasing bigger tricks, it may be smarter to choose the bag that better supports backyard mountain bike jumps for the more advanced rider in the family, or ask about the best compromise.
If you’re ordering a standard mountain bike airbag from the contiguous U.S., your order will arrive in as few as two weeks! For anywhere outside of the contiguous United States, including internationally, expect shipment to take 6-8 weeks. Custom orders will take a little longer, but will be totally worth it. We’ll give you a time estimate along with a price estimate, too.
PS, shipping is included with your order!
Plan for more than the listed bag dimensions. You will usually need:
Measure the size of your space and compare it to the landing bag you’re looking for. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out. If your exact sizing needs don’t match what’s currently available, explore how we can build custom ramps for mountain bike jumps for backyards, cul-de-sacs, or other places with less standard dimensions!
That is a good time to ask questions before you order. If your ramp height, riding level, or yard layout sits between two options, getting guidance can save money and frustration. A custom recommendation can be especially helpful for backyard mountain bike jumps if your backyard setup needs to grow with your rider.
