I need to get someone filming me so I can see if I'm getting as high. I think so ?
No spins yet though.PHREERIDER - 15-7-2009 at 01:22 PM
the height comes with more speed and pop. i pulled back rolls on trans. they come when i not thinking about it and just want to come around. really
don't realize it till i've done it. but if i tried to do it (and thinking about) i' d get snatched. brain always gets in the way.
just put your head in the right direction over the shoulder after you have sent the kite, then look where you want to land. lately i've been doing
this big figure 8 with kite loops. really gets crazy after about the 4th round.
hope the little vids aren't getting to be too much. just having fun with the youtube/video thing. and no windBladerunner - 15-7-2009 at 04:44 PM

For me your little vids are a huge source of inspiration !
I have been waiting for someone to become a mentor of sorts on Coyotes.
What you say about looking the proper direction is important. I was stuck making the mistake of looking / launching back toward the kite for a while.
Please keep them coming !PHREERIDER - 15-7-2009 at 06:50 PM

I agree with Bladerunner...keep'em coming!
I was going to comment on your video the other day actually. These are actually my favorite videos to watch....stuff that I will hopefully be able to
do shortly as opposed to watching the pros who do tricks that I will realistically never be able to do!PHREERIDER - 16-7-2009 at 08:29 AM
OH YEAH ,, GREAT.
THE VIDEO REPRESENTS AROUND 25HOURS ON THE SKATES, BUT A TON OF KITE CONTROL ALREADY THERE. EASY ATTAINABLE FOR GOOD RUDIMENTARY RIDING AND FUN
THE "TRICKS" REALLY HAVE TO FLOW WITH OUT PRESSURE OR YOU WILL HURT YOURSELF. YOUR BODY REFLEXES ALLOW THEM AS YOU GET ACCUSTOM TO ACCEL. TIMING.
AERIALS ARE A PART OF A " GYMNASTIC TYPE" OF BODY CONTROL AND HAS TO BE MASTERED LIKE ANY THING ELSE KINDA BEFORE YOU HIT IT WITH THE KITE AT 20MPH TO
PRODUCE HANG TIME AND ROTATIONS SAFELY. AND THIS IS WHERE PROS SPEND A GREAT AMOUNT OF TIME IN BODY CONTROL PRACTICE ...TRAMPS WITH BARS AND ADDING
IN BOARDS AT THE END AND THEN APPLY IT IN FLIGHT
FOR EXAMPLE DO ABOUT 200 BACK ROLLS(BOTH DIRECTIONS) SIMULATIONS IN 12MPH RUNNING WITH THE KITE UP WIND. THAT WAY HEAD, HANDS, ARMS AND BODY GET
A CHANCE TO WORK IT OUT BEFORE YOU ARE 10 FEET IN THE AIR. DON'T NEED BE FAST JUST CONTROLLED.
