@@olsenadventures For my personal level the tricks that you guys have posted are pushing mi limits, but this is great, it means that I have homework to do! Haha! I will let you know if i get ideas to add! I have to say that you guys are doing it great! For me your tutorials are the best of youtube :) Im very happy to have a resourse like this to keep improving and learning! Also the progression on the level of the tricks is very good, you are covering a big spectrum from easy tricks to more advanced. So guys, keep the good work!! Cheers from Spain!
Great video as always. Blake, I got a question - can you do the same with 12m switchblade? What about other low height kiteloops? I'm choosing the right size of SB for me. Are 11m and 12m significantly different in turning/looping speed? 165lbs, no bigger kite.
At your weight you could do either size. I'd base the choice of the other size kites in your quiver. We chose the 11 because it is marginally faster yet still has loads of low-end. Blake is actually about 190 something and the 11 worked well for him in lighter winds. The 12 loops ok as well but it gets faster and easier every-time you size down. - Rygo
@@MACkiteboarding Rygo, thanks for answering! I've read some reviews that 11 is significantly more live and playful and similar to 10, but the low end is pretty similar. Is that true? Unfortunately, 11 seems to be unpopular so I cannot test it anywhere. I also plan to get 8 for my quiver. No plans for a bigger size so far.
Dmitry Burmistrov that’s exactly why we chose an 11 for our kiteloop playlist. People often forget a 12 switchblade has more power than most 12’s. The smaller size is for sure more playful than a 12 and less than the 10. There is just a funny stigma with the 11m size. People think they are cheating themselves by not going for a 12 but if you aren’t a heavy rider the 11 is a great choice for all the reasons you listed.- Rygo
MACkiteboarding the last question. Is hang time significantly lower on 11 in comparison to 12? I’m strongly leaning towards getting 11. Thanks a lot for your help again. Your videos are the best.
@@dmitryburmistrov8650 Lower, yes. Significantly, no. The faster the kite, the more you can whip it for jumping and the more you can work it in the sky for hangtime. You do lose a meter though so by default its less canopy for loft. I think you'll be stoked on the 11 at your weight. Thanks, stoked you find the videos helpful! - Rygo
great stuff as always :) just in time for my kite hols :D
Cheers, have fun out there! :)
Things are getting hard! I like it!
We can start getting more advanced for you Gastón! What are some tricks you want to learn?

I agree, we need to add more crashes to the videos!
Great video as always.
