How I do the Jibe Slide

-Build up speed keep the kite at 45
-Kick the board out for slide, push the back foot out
-Before you slow down send the kite over the top
-Keep the bar in tight for power
-Lean on what was your front, now your back foot
-Make the kite happy and ride away feeling cool!

*down turn on this at your own risk

at what point whould i start the down turn of the kite.

I would start looping the kite,,,via the 3rd frame by pulling in on the front side of the bar with my left hand, or spin the bar so that i can loop it left by pulling with my right had...backward steering is ok just don't forget you've switched hands

the tip, is to get ready for acceleration....with a 12m manta, I'd loop the kite until it's flying toward the zenith, releasing the bar slowing depowering the kite, once I'm ready I'll bring the kite back to 3-o-clock and pull in for power...

let me know if it works for you....
