What new tricks to try?

Postby danidr » Thu Apr 27, 2017 11:17 pm

Hi!

I'm at a point in kiting where I started learing foiling and going wave riding. On the twintip I haven't put that much interest in trying new stuff. I went out the other day and added some angle/inversion to my frontrolls. What hooked in tricks (and maybe youtube vids) could I try learning which are a natural progression for someone that already knows this ones:

- General boosting/jumping with tail grab.
- Front rolls and backrolls popped or sent, with grab or not, high or low.
- Hand plant backroll with kiteloop.

I'd REALLY nail down the darkslide, jesus walk, and the various flavors of aerial loop transitions both surface and sent.

I bought Toby's videos and been working on hand drag rotations, good tip he had that helped me not get worked over was in strong wind pull for the loop later. I thought they would be an easy trick to learn but dialing them depending on kite/wind is a challenge for me. I really need to just man up and try the darkslide, not sure why I haven't yet :wink:

You should probably work on late loop stuff, Heli looo, downloop, strong forward redirect with back loop, overall that really improve your kite control.
Front roll are fun, you can try them while keeping kite lower, when powered on flat water you can get them without moving kite.
I'm planning to work on going blind (worked a few times but mostly land on head lately ;) ), tricks from toeside like front roll flip and 520 front roll with late back loop Dimitri style.
My dark slide are pretty bad, need to work on those.
Board off would be nice. I can do one footer and sometimes running beach jump start. Probabaly need I practice without 5mm booties ;)

Lately I have been working on unhook. I can pretty much do backroll and frontroll unhook. I hope I can land some stuff blind this season.
Oh yes pretty much got Megaloop down, it's a lot of fun. I'll try to add frontroll to those until I wipe out too hard and give up ;)
Jump wise I want to learn to throw late rotation and unwind rotation.

Yes it's weird first session I tried hand drag with late kiteloop I landed 90% of them 12m powered but in 9m or 12m underpowered 12 m up, I don't get tinting as well as that normal powered 12m. I think You really got to slow that rotation, barely pop, just kind of bring leg up and hand will let you rotate...

And that's the noise that will break your knee and shoulder...while no one is looking at you.

Be smart, learn the fun stuff, do your show and stay healthy! 😜
