Airbag-Only Spring Sessions in Barrie for Focused Freestyle Progression

Q: Will my equipment be accepted?

Equipment is inspected; skis or snowboards with cracked edges or delamination will be refused to protect athletes and the facility.

LAUNCH Spring Sessions - AIRBAG ONLY hosts focused three-hour airbag sessions in Barrie, Ontario, offering athletes structured repetition under certified coaches. Located near Lake Simcoe and Kempenfelt Bay, the setup prioritizes safe landings and measurable progression more than scenic runs. Sessions run in three-hour blocks—10:00 to 13:00, 13:00 to 16:00, and 16:00 to 19:00—so athletes can pick consistent practice windows. The core features are a large inflatable airbag, trampoline progressions, a controlled inrun, and equipment inspection protocols. Helmets and gloves are mandatory; poles are banned, and skis or snowboards with cracked edges or delamination will be refused. What sets these sessions apart is the strict coaching and athlete licensing requirements tied to Freestyle Canada and Canada Snowboard standards. Coaches must hold Air 2 or Air 3 evaluations for trampoline and airbag work; snowboard coaches require Canada Snowboard competition certifications. Athletes need valid club, provincial, or FIS licenses to use the facility, making these sessions especially suited to club programs and competitive riders. The training environment favors repetition: timed runs, coach feedback, incremental rotations, and soft landings that reduce impact during skill acquisition. For Ontario riders who lack frequent access to dedicated airbags, LAUNCH Spring Sessions - AIRBAG ONLY provides an efficient way to stack attempts without the wear of park features. Clubs can arrange buyouts for extra dates during early or late season, and the facility’s inspection policy keeps sessions focused on skill rather than risky equipment. Practical planning is simple: show with certified coaches, bring a helmet and gloves, and expect three concentrated hours of airtime and feedback. The soundscape is deliberately functional—the hiss of the blower, the sharp exhale before a rotation, the patter of coaches’ instructions—yet the focus yields rapid skill gains. After a session, riders can unwind in Barrie or grab coffee near Kempenfelt Bay to debrief and mentally parse new tricks. LAUNCH Spring Sessions - AIRBAG ONLY is a practical, high-intensity option for coaches prepping teams, competitors sharpening rotations, and individuals committed to progression. Because equipment is checked and poles are not permitted, athletes arrive focused on movement quality and measurable outcomes rather than improvising gear fixes. If you want concentrated airtime in a supervised, license-driven setting in Barrie, these airbag-only blocks deliver controlled exposure and fast progression. Reserve a session, coordinate with a certified coach, and prepare to measure rotations rather than hope for a clean landing. The format is efficient, the rules are clear, and for athletes serious about aerial technique, LAUNCH Spring Sessions - AIRBAG ONLY turns practice into reliable progress. Check licensing requirements ahead of arrival, bring intact gear, and expect coaches to prioritize athlete safety while helping you build consistent, repeatable tricks that transfer back to snow parks.
