PRO NextStep vs. PRO NextStep PLUS

The PRO NextStep was the very first airbag we designed here at DD. The initial idea was to create an airbag that would fit most riders. It sits at 6.5” tall and is the perfect size to travel around with for shows, or if you just want a fun ramp and airbag setup available at your fingertips. It only takes two people and around 10 minutes to set it all up, meaning you can pull this out of your garage and get your adrenaline pumping any time you want.

After the PRO NextStep had been out for a while, we noticed that people were really taking things up a notch - using the airbag to try things we didn’t even think about when we designed it. We decided to design and create the PRO NextStep PLUS - a version with some upgrades that provides even more safety. We widened the bag from 11.5 feet to 14 feet, along with adding an extra 4 feet of flat bottom. There is already plenty of flat bottom on the Pro next step so this bonus ads even more confidence to your riding.

Both airbags have vents on either side that you can open up to make it even softer - helpful if you are trying those bigger, scarier tricks for the first time. And both bags have a flat bottom in case you bounce at the bottom coming off a trick - the main difference between the two is the extended airbag dimensions and the extra safety you are getting with the PLUS. The size for both the pro next step and pro next step plus, is a size that you will never outgrow and something you will use as long as you ride.

This is used by 6 year olds all the way up to being the preferred choice by the top pros in action sports and by companies like Nitro Circus. Both airbags can be set up by 2 adults and can guarantee they will blow you away with how easy they are to set up/pack up and store away taking very little room up for space.

If you still have any other questions about these airbags, please do not hesitate to send us an email. We are here to help you make the right choice.
