As part of the private pre-Olympic Pipe Camp at New Zealand’s Cardrona Alpine Resort, a Bagjump has been set up to assist with training.

The 15m x 15m multi-chambered airbag set up by the Japanese national team is being used by German, Canadian, American and Kiwi riders practicing new freestyle moves and double tricks, valuable training in the lead up to Vancouver 2010.
