Freestyle Competition Riders!

Postby ADEN » Sun Feb 22, 2009 1:22 pm

Hi there,
this is a question for riders that compete in freestyle competitions! (or freestyle riders that practise the same types of moves)
I was wondering if you would keep your same tricks each year but add an extra grab or handlepass etc..
or do you scrap all your tricks and do different but better tricks for that same comp next year?
.. and for the freestyle kiters that dont compete, what do you guys do with your tricks for the next season?
thanks lots,
Aden.

Why would you ever forget a trick? (Im thinking handlepass manouvers) I think most other riders do the same as me. That is learning more moves, and making your other moves more consistent.

good winds,
cheers

this counts for every style you are doing.

You keep all your tricks and add to it, grab, height, power, rotation etc.
Maybe you will forget about few tricks, but one day you gonna discover them again..happens to me sometimes...and then it is fun doing them again and adding even more to it.

yes adding power to my tricks and generally becoming more confident doing them, once you have confidence you can add style and properly stomp it. i also try more tricks with a kiteloop instead of a normal pop

You can also try to do a few tricks in a row (get unhooked once and make 3-4 power moves one by one)
It's not that easy as it looks like.
