I love how everybody explains how to jump as big as possible but nobody explains how to land those big jumps 😆 😆

He just did! Hold the bar in and don't re direct the kite till a few meters off the water. If you let up on the bar at all during the jump it causes the kite to fly upwind and makes for a hard landing if it doesn't just completely fall out of the air. Or you can heli loop it on the way down to keep it from flying upwind but you must time the end of the loop right.

You are awesome Sam, i have been struggling with my landings as i am forced to jump on my side opposite to my default one so i can use waves kickers, i used the bar pressure tip and now i land most if not all of my jumps.

@gostalmanrane Жыл бұрын

The comment about keeping more pressure on the back foot to prevent forward rotation was very helpful. I have been having a hard time not rotating forward when I’m trying for jumps more than 2 or 3m so thanks for that!

Trim correctly was the best advice for me. I went overpowered always thinking I would jump higher that way, and actually it's easier to jump HIGHER when kite is correctly trimmed.

@samsoltanifar6647 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks. The forward rotation you showed is my biggest problem. Usually followed by an accidental kite loop due to facing backwards

I hope to one day try jumping, the closest I've got so far is when I were standing on the spot with the kite at 12 during water draging and I pulled the bar down a little and felt myself lifted off my feet. I got to learn to get up first which hopefully I can try again in a few weeks time with a bit of luck. One step at a time and I wouldn't want to scare myself. I bet it's super fun.

Really good video. There are a lot of details an tips for correcting mistakes that you go over really quickly though. I had to go back and rewind the video a bunch of times. Keep up the good work though. Oh, why are the diagrams with the Sentinel bar and you're riding the Guardian? Which bar do you like better and why?

@SamLight 4 жыл бұрын

thanks, i use both bars, its just personal preference really, i probably use the guardian more as you have a longer throw and a smaller chicken loop

Great video Sam 🤙 When you do that mini ‘bunny’ jump before landing on your edge carving up and sending it for bigger jumps, how do you do the mini jump, is it just a small kick down with your rear foot or both feet or you simply just lifting up your knees ? Also what do you do with your body and bar when doing this mini pop ? Maybe a video on this if you run out of ideas of what to make videos about,

@pr4nk5tr 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah got question, getting that board pop right is the basis for many moves, I'm still trying to figure that out too. I can edge super hard, yet not getting much pop really.

@SteveHofsaess 4 жыл бұрын

Sam,, Do you keep your bar sheeted out a little bit before you jump? Do you move the kite towards 12 , while sheeted or do you sheet the bar all the way before moving the kite. I have been told that my kite moves to 12 slowly, but I move the bar as fast as I can

@GG-bv4ou 3 жыл бұрын

I very often rotate forwards when jumping, don't know why it happens but I think I put enough pressure on my back foot. Do I need to stretch my body as I notice it mostly happens when I am in a "tucked" position (knees closer to the shoulders).

@RafCenterMyself 4 жыл бұрын

can you do a specific video on edging? I'm fine with small jumps, but have problems holding my edge, when I'm trying to jump really powered... especially right before takeoff. It seems nearly impossible to edge more at this point. And could you also tell something about the course before takeoff? Does it make sense to ride more down or upwind before the takeoff sequence begins.

@SamLight 4 жыл бұрын

Great idea! There is so many nuances with jumping, i could talk about it for hours. Its best to ride across the wind, the hop before take off can help but thats more advanced jumping

@libertadrespetoverdadequid720 6 ай бұрын

@pr4nk5tr 3 жыл бұрын

What role does the front leg play, e.g. do you keep it straight and then actively lift it up as you take off? Personally I can actually hold down quite a bit more power by trying to shift more weight to my front leg instead of sitting on the back leg too much. As a result my front leg is also bent quite a bit, not sure if that's good. For whatever it's worth, got 11.7m on the Woo

@jimmyjames1411 3 жыл бұрын

I found that sheeting out when im coming down provides softer landings, unless I am doing something else.

@vlaaady 20 күн бұрын

I heard that "initiate input" for raising the kite is incorrect. Constant light oressure or even accelerated raising is a better technique.

@jondeur2686 4 жыл бұрын

At 3:50 you say when steering initiate input and then let out the bar. Doesn’t that decrease power.? Any thoughts on timing? Edge first and then send kite? Send kite first then edge? Same time? Any thoughts on spotting a takeoff point? I’m pretty frustrated. Been kiting for 8 years and I just don’t consistently jump well.

@SamLight 4 жыл бұрын

you only let out the bar very briefly so it doesn't pull you off your edge until the kite is above your head. Edge and send kite at the same time, its always good to spot your landing, it's all about building as much tension in the lines as possible
