Do ALL your tricks in shallow water constantly wiping out till you break your leg.

do a jump and do as many spins and wriggles as you can. i can do 5. Looks Best if you can land it on your head.everytime. A quick indy Grab will make this trick look superstylin .

Or just do a real nice reo , the more it looks like surfing the cooler it is. This is the best trick there is.

pain don't hurt !

try a deadman but dont reinvert until your head touches the water . go small at first , say 5-6 feet hold your nerve, not as easy as it seems . try it in the surf with an oncoming wave

try a double foreward with a board vario while doing a kite 360 or a downloop

make sure its high so you have time 20 foot plus

NICE NAME AFGAN STRIPPER....
HOPEFULLY NOT REFERENCING TO YOUR RECENT HOLIDAYS...
ANYWAYS ON TO THE SUBJECT, I RECON THE BEST LOOKING MOVE IS AN 'S' BEND.
UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE ONLY SEEN THEM ON MOVIES.
MY AIM IS TO GET ONE OF THESE BABIES DOWN.
JUST GOTTA SUSS THE POP THAT WAKEBOARDERS USE.
FOR THOSE THAT DONT KNOW AN S BEND IS A FORWARD LOOP EITHER OFF A WAVE OR BY POPPING AND U FLATTEN OUT AT THE TOP OF THE JUMP AND UR BODY SHUD BE HORIZONTAL TO THE WATER AND STRETCHED OUT TO THE MAX. THEN CONTINUE TO PIVOT AROUND AND LAND EXTRA FLAT WITH A BOARD SLAP.
IF ANYONE CAN DO ONE, LET ME KNOW OF UR FEATS AND I WILL BOW.

S BENDS are cool but i think that i have a better one its called a UFM its a unhooked one handed kite loop with a rider 360. riding along unhooked jump like normal but when you get to the apex of your jump let go with you front hand and grab the board as you start going into a back roll, flip, one footed spin, tantrum what ever you want. when you let go with you front hand because you are unhooked it is the weight on the bar from your back hand that will make the kite go into a big ass loop mid air. it can be better to land this one toeside but you must land going in the same direction with the kite infront of you in normal ridding position.
so you jump and do this back spin thing and land with no twists in your lines because the kite loop has taken them out.
ill buy anyone a beer if i see them doing this one on the water w with style so in 35 knots small kite (must be a naish kite to do something this cool) and 20 feet high..... have fun

hehe
good to see there is a chilled atmosphere on this forum, not a bunch of bitchin bleeders.

The laney

ridding toeside with heaps of speed and lots of power but holding a good edge reach down placing your hand in the middle of the board so over the grab strap. slowly bring the kite over heard as you take your feet out of the straps and quickly throw them above your head. hold this position as long as possible so maybe 1-2 seconds max. now send the kite back as fast and in as tight a loop as possible to keep it high in the window this will rip you off the water while you are still in the "hand stand" possition as you leave the water bring your feet to the board as you look over your back shoulder to start the rotation then place your feet back in the straps and stick the landding so you ride out toes side and you have another back loop thing with no twists in your lines. be prepared to look kinda silly trying to learn this one. and i'll get you that rum infact a whole bottle caution if you can do this one with style.
this move is best done with a real short delta twintip and a 14m X3. have fun.............

true, i take it a little pledge to ur new sponsors....
well that one sounds tricky, one i would like to see.
so are u pulliong off any kite loops off yet damo?
i take it you saw a lot over east at the nationals.
it s wo weird, but last summer the only kitelooping was when we were out of control and accidentally pulled the wrong way cos we were dizzy from rotations (i did this many a time tryin to suss back loops) and the landings were viscious...
i am hangin for some decent wind to maybe try some loopin n rubber neckin.
ok my pepsi challenge to you:
called a pizza flip with cheeze. (optional fries with that for style)
pop off the water as high and fast as possible, with one hand pull off board and spin board so it is horizontally and spinning like a drill. whilst this is spinnin handlepass once (but hell as many times as u like) and then once u have the bar back to normal grab the board before it hits the floor and ur pizza gets wet.
still no crossed lines, and no looping involved, just a classic mix of old skool board off tricks and new skool handlepass.
degree of difficulty: 37.

ok caution are you taking the piss or what !!!??
this pizza move how the hell are you supposed to spin the board and do a handle pass at the same time?? hey at least the laney and the UFM are real moves i swear and are not as imposible as you would think especialy the UFM.
well caution i was landing 80% of my kite loops like the UFM and other different hooked and unhooked loops but then i broke my bloody anchle about 2 months ago so i dare saw i wont be doing anymore kite loops for a few weeks at least.
when i was over east i only saw 2 kite loops but yeah everyone was talking about them.

no i aint takin the piss, i think it would be possible.
i combined it with two articles and pictures i saw.
one involved Adam Koch who was doing these pizza board flips, he launches big and just spins the board and tweaks himself and then catches the board on the way back down.

then i was reading about vari and james and their wild new handle pass movement. aparently they are attempting handlepasses with board offs so i thort why not combine two sweet ass moves.
i realise gravity would be against us majorly but with a light board it could be possible. unfortunately i dont think it would be with my heavy betty, love riding with it but it is heavy.

good to hear bout the loopin damo, i wasnt takin the piss i hope u dont think. it is good to see some progressive movement here in perth. it is extra good to see the amount of young people doing it.

i grew up in gero, probably one of the best places in the world to wavesail yet i was the only grom (at the time) sailing along with all the older generation. it was obvious windsurfing was going to fade away. the future for kiting looks a lot healthier.

i am keen to get into some looping attempts this year but i am sure some beatings are ahead. the main thing i wanna learn is jumping without sending the kite and some unhooked moves.

im not to shore what you mean. when do you handdle pass and when do you take the board off and is it dominos or pizza hut can i get BBQ sauce on mine ???
board offs and handle passes are 2 of the hardest moves in kiteing if you rekon you can put them togeather in the same jump then i rekon you would win every comp on both pro tours hands down!!
maybe if you explain it a bit better caution then i'll give it a go.

a unhooked board off could be cool. something like a monkey grab with a varial wouldnt be toooo hard i dont rekon. maybe even a spinning monkey grab
a monkey grab is a one handed unhooked jump so you just place you front hand closer to the middle of the bar befoer you send the kite and when you jump just take your back hand of to do the varial(board spinning thing)

talking of young groms have you seen young dan the man out kiteing latly?? cos he is ripping!

i dont think i hav a chance in hell of pulling it off damo, but it is an idea i had and i thort a man of ur talents may pull one.
my thorts are pop, take board off and spin it then handlepass then grab board back then drop to feet. you may have to throw the board upwards to have enough time to handlepass.
i think this wood hav to be one of the most technical tricks out there but i recon it will be in one of the pro tours soon...
watchit, but remember i am claiming it.

saw dan kiting summer, yes he is a good little kiter. if was him and a couple of other groms that inspired me to get into it when they had their moskitos and surfboards with footstraps bolted to em.

yeh monkey grabs are sweet looking, infact anything that has the body and arms extended hanging from the kite looks sick.

so damo, i know last summer u along with most others werent going for unhooked moves. did u adjust ur setup at all to start unhooking? i put a knot in my chicken loop so it stopped at even lines if i unhooked. i found with the way u get kites stock, if u unhook the front lines are too long and the kite is way too much of a handful.

The board off+handle pass+grab would be coolif you can make jump so long and high.i rekon you won't have time to make it clear and fluid.
have you seen the new trick with land with footstraps or bindigs off???????
What is a monkey grab????
A cool trick is s-bend with roastbeedf garb.......is not too difficult i rekon but it's very cool.

what kind of kite are you useing??? cos i havnt had to change my naish set up at all the only thing that isnt stock standard on my gear is my leash. i put a longer leash on so i could handdle pass with out risking death on the beach when I stuff it up. when i unhook i first shorten the front lines useing the center strap and thats all.

hey i got a new trick for you but i havnt got a name for it yet.
its an inverted rider loop with a kite loop. riding along heelside boost as big as you dare as you leave the water roll you head forwards as in down wind but towards your front foot as well when you are nearly upside down arch yopur back and straighten your legs this will slow the rotation almost to a stall. so at this point you should be fully upside down like a dead man but you are faceing downwind and hands still on the bar. just before you start to come right side up pull on your front hand like a pittbull on a leash going for a pram this will send the kite into a loop. as you get better at it start sending the kite into the loop sooner what you eventualy want is for the kite to be upside down (pointing at the water) at the same time you are inverted.
what do you think shouldnt be imposible with a small kite.

yes well i guess it wood be different for a naish, but for a grunty kite like my caution if u let the chicken go to the bar the front lines are way too long and u start screaming as it attempts to rip ur arms from their sockets.
i guess if u shorten ur front lines with the trim strap it is similar to having a knot in the chicken loop, i just dont have to adjust whilst on the water as if i unhook the lines are even.
i havent tried any handlepasses on the water yet, just tried in lite winds on the beach and at home in the living room sussing the hand positions. bring on summer when i can get these betties sussed.
notice the lite seabreezes are starting, bring it on huey.

this new move, the inverted roll with a kiteloop, i assume you mean a forward kiteloop. hmm well i havent tried any of these loops either, apart from mistaked backloops and too much pressure on the back hand, so i will try on some lite days and see. i think the move wood be fully possible and look good with the stall in the middle.
i may go down the river over the weekend and get my little wippi up even if it is lite and attempt some loopin bodydrags...
that way i may not break something from trying in 20 knots.
are you still kiting at peli point mainly?
nice smooth waters but crowds suck.

unfortunately i work till 5:15 and then it will be dark. boo.
hmm a name, well how bout the 12oclock heartstopper?
(i.e. ur body is at 12 oclock, then when the loop kicks in ur heart stops as the adrenilin kicks from the necksnappin power)

you missed a good one caution until the wind died in the arse anyway hey that 12oclock heart stopper can easily be turned into a rad light wind transition or even a cool move on a wave instead of another boreing reo you just have to time the loop so that you land going the other way.

come on guys anyone got some opinions on kite tricks what looks good and what doesnt

OK, its a rudey, but i think it wood look extra swankey.
launch high and letgo with front hand and proceed to drop ur boardies to either knee level or ankle level (depending on the degree of difficulty desired) and show ur bare cheeks to the crowd (this is a beauty to do right out the front of the grass at peli point). then once u are ready to go the other way pull up the respectable coverings and with one hand point it at the one u r aiming it for and show ur pearly whites with a cheesy grin.
caution: this may result in fights, assults and possibly chicks throwing themselves at u from a gawk at ur nasties. i take no responsibilities.

i think i will call it the flash gordan.

You have to get plenty of height for this one and its best done with a small rather square twintip. dubble hook because you need the extra float. send the kite back as normal and then start to steer it back in front of you as you near the apex of your jump reach back with both hands and grab the heelside rail near your feet just like a boreing grab but you are doing it with both hands so make shore that the kite is at least above your head or infront of you again before you let go of the bar. if you are feeling a little pumped and want to take this move alittle further then when you grab the rail take your feet out and go upside down like a deadman but you are holding the board behind your head. hold this for as long as you have enough height then place the board back on your feet. if you can do a 1 footed jump then this shouldnt be too hard. give it a go!!!![}:)][}:)]
