Events with a Bagjump are meant to push the limits, and Munky’s Air Jam is the next big one. A Bagjump airbag and world class athletes jumping from a moving gondola. What else we need?

Something has been happening in the world of action sports events over the past few years. We see it daily with the content Channel99 makes, and now Munky’s Air Jam. Let us break it down for you.

From July 27 to 30, 2026, the Nordkette above Innsbruck will host what is one of the most creative events this Summer. Athletes will jumping from a moving gondola into a Bagjump airbag. Not a platform, not a controlled indoor setting. A gondola in the middle of a mountain.

This is where action sports events are going. Creatives ideas in odd environments, and Bagjump is right in the middle of the shift.

Why Bagjump powered events are becoming a thing

A few years ago, an airbag at an event was a nice addition. Something for visitors to try, a photo opportunity, a fun distraction between the main attractions. Today, the airbag is often the main attraction itself.

We have seen this happen across every category we work with. Music festivals like the Donauinselfest in Vienna install multiple Bagjump setups because the queues around them never stop. Obstacle races like the Beatthecity Grazathlon and Spartan build entire sections around a Bagjump. Airports like Munich transform their terminals into ninja warrior arenas with Bagjump airbags. Even the White House hosted a full freestyle motocross show in June with a Bagjump FMXランディングエアバッグ underneath every jump.

The reason for this shift is simple. People want more of action sports events. They want to feel part of them, or they want to see athletes attempt things that seem impossible. And in both cases, the airbag is what makes it possible.

Munky’s Air Jam is the next step in that evolution. Not an event where a Bagjump plays a supporting role, but an event where the Bagjump is the reason the stunt can happen at all.

The mind behind Munky’s Air Jam

The event was created by Simon Wening, better known online as Munky. Simon is a professional parkour and freerunning athlete based in Innsbruck. He is also a two time Austrian Style Champion, and a member of the German National Team for Parkour and Freerunning. He is also one of the most creative minds in the sport when it comes to combining elite athletic skill with viral content creation.

To get an idea, Munky’s Schneehaufen Event in February 2026 with a Bagjump, gathered 30 athletes on the Nordkette and generated over a million of views. It proved something important. There is a global audience hungry for high altitude, high risk, high creativity action sports content.

Munky’s Air Jam is what comes next. Bigger scale, bigger stunt, bigger reach.

A world class lineup

More than 50 top athletes and creators are expected to be part of Munky’s Air Jam over the four days of the event. The lineup is ready and you can expect some of the best.

Jan Schlappen, Joe Scandret, Anna Strigl, Amir Kaiser, and Simon Brunner are part of the core group of creators driving the content side of the event. Each of them produces and publishes independently across their own channels.

Alongside them, world class athletes like Elis Torhall, Noa Diorgina from Red Bull, Nathanael Trier, Brittney Durant, and Dennis Korra will bring the technical and athletic level that makes a stunt of this magnitude possible. It is the kind of lineup that combines global creator influence with elite athletic skill in one place.

The gondola jump into a Bagjump airbag

The central moment of the event is the one that will make the internet stop scrolling. Athletes jumping from a moving gondola into a Bagjump Standalone airbag installed on the mountain at 2000 meters.

This is not a stunt that can be improvised. Every airbag we build for an event like this is engineered specifically for the movement it needs to absorb. In this case, we are talking about jumps from a moving cabin, at altitude, with athletes attempting movements that have never been captured on camera before. The airbag has to be safe, precise, and consistent for every single landing, no matter which athlete is coming down or from what angle.

Come by, look up, and follow the athletes

For anyone in Innsbruck during those four days, keep an eye on the Nordkette. The gondola jump alone is worth the trip up the mountain, and the energy around the event is going to be something the city has not seen before.

And if you cannot be there in person, follow the athletes online. Munky, Jan Schlappen, Anna Strigl, Amir Kaiser, Joe Scandret, Simon Brunner, and the rest of the crew are some of the most creative content creators in action sports right now. Their feeds are going to be the front row seat to what happens at 2000 meters this July.
