The pop is a key aspect of the jump, together with the kite they lift you up to greater heights! In this video I'll go through some exercises to practise the pop and make sure that you have a good carve!
00:40 How does it work?
01:30 Exercise 1: Loaded carve
03:10 Carving vs. Edging
03:50 Exercise 2: Loaded pop
05:34 Exercise 3: Hooked Railey
07:25 Pre load pop

@@stevenakkersdijk Been practicing preload pop on larger kites, but its quite a bit more difficult to time with smaller kites! Could use some tips about how fast I should be directing the kite towards 12. Does moving the kite faster produce more lift, or will it cause you to come off your edge and lose line tension? Some tips on performing the preload pop on choppy water and kickers would also be super helpful! Keep up the great content

@BenjaminLovelady Жыл бұрын

Preload pop is a game changer in flat water, but super hard in chop, and I don't notice much improvement if I have good kickers. Definitely an important tool, but for most people it's a distraction that adds too much variance into the takeoff. It's merely a semantic difference, but I find it helpful to tell beginning jumpers "don't try to pop." Simply because the tendency is to try to use your legs to jump. I tell my students to "hold your edge, carve upwind, and let the kite rip you off the water." It's really the same thing, but when people are trying to "pop" they really seem to want to push off with their legs and give up their edge.

@stevenakkersdijk Жыл бұрын

Totally agree! There isn't one way to teach people how to jump. Especially beginners should focus on carving and kite steering and not worry about kicking off the water. (Just like you said) Thanks for sharing your experience 🤙

This tip helped me jump better! I made a video on that, still not higher than 3Meters, but i got the idea..thanks!

@gboates 10 ай бұрын

Perfectly said. If you are powered and carrying a lot of speed, I find a short back leg twitch is enough to send me as high as I want to go. A good practice is to use the wake of other kiters as a micro-kicker. It's amazing. Too much hopping and changing direction, one can lose the integrity of the energy necessary for a fully controlled jump sequence. Core strength is mandatory as Stephen says. Core kites too. Keep that kite moving.

@Banadoles Жыл бұрын

Gethighwithmike has a really nice video for the preload-pop. Managed to pull way better kiteloops with this technique because of the nice vertical takeoff. Still not getting the timing consistently, therefore a video with a detailed explanation would be a dream. In my opinion your technical explanations are by far the best in the industry, so I would appreciate a video brother🤙

@stevenakkersdijk Жыл бұрын

I also enjoyed Gethighwithmike his video a lot, it's definitely a trick that can improve your height and take offs. But as you mention it's hard to do them consistent. I'll work on a pre load pop video where I go more over the technical part. Thanks for the support 🤙
