nice man, I have probably watched all jumping tutorials on youtube and that way of explaining clicked something to me, can't wait to try it out in the water
Great great great video !!!! I have exactly the same problem ! When I ride I'm powered just fine (9m kite in 22-25 knots), but when sending the kite to 12 o'clock, it rips me out of my edge !!!!
great vid; i really have problems just doing simple jumps: I still can't figure out when to send the kite, how far to send the kite and how and when to pop (i know i need a lesson or two)
Yessir! If you're edging well, your sweet spot will move further out as you ride. Then you should bring the kite up with the bar sheeted out. The only time you should pull the bar in again is when you're trying to leave the water
@gethighwithmike does that mean that one should start with the kite quite low, pre load pop while sending the kite from the low position to 45⁰ and from there lift it up yo 12 while edging as hard as one can?
His body position doesn't look right. He is to hunched over and to compact needs to extend his legs and back a little more to hold a better edge from what I see

Darkslide Dave is a legend! - Had the pleasure of kiting with him during his NZ trip!
Yet another great instructional video. Love it. Looking forward to having you chase down the other errors. I think i have them all!

I love the live debugging this is super useful! Instead of being like, I'm doing what he said, why isn't it working - understanding how to debug.
The best video about this topic on RUclips! Sharing it right now! Thank You!

what does “sheeting in” mean?

I would say he had way too much speed before preload pop
Great topic thanks. So would it be fair to say that when sending the kite we should sheet out - let the kite speed up, then sheet in at the top ?

I wish i could pre load pop
Mike knowa about my problems 🫣
sick mate
Great 😊
Sheet in at 12 or 1pm? Some vids say we should sheet in just before it reaches 12. I always feel like I’m over sending the kite if I pull in at 12. 🤔
11.30 for left foot forward, 12:30 for right
