    i did that many times, lost my kite doing it in the water once, obviously no one holding kite so lost it! Was holding chicken loop and it was ripped out my hand, swam my ass off and caught the bar thank god. Lesson dont try in water with loads of power. Rather go in and if you have a friend yah if not just run the lines again. Same session staight after i sorted that mess out my kite bud broke his fib doing a double backroll 😩😩 I got him to hospital but it was a super shit session with amazing wind! One of those after work rushed missions.

    This video isn’t right. On low v, no problem doing bar magic. High v, easier to rerun 2 outside lines than screwing around having someone hold your kite forever for you.

    absolutely great, thank you Mike! and what about if I'm in the sea with kite in the water? I believe I can't unhook and do this right?

    • @gethighwithmike
      @gethighwithmike  6 місяців тому +1

      Technically, you can do it. BUT it's extremely dangerous because juggling the bar requires that you pass the bar through lines, which makes it very easy to get a line wrapped around the bar. This would result in a death loop, which could be extremely dangerous (pulled out to sea / lines around fingers and digits taken off, pulled into other objects, drowning, etc.)
      If you insisted on doing it, the key is to keep the bar sheeted out by holding on the QR and pressing the bar away. Also you would want to depower all the way to prevent unwanted steering.
      But still, not a good idea to do this 🙏
      So my recommendation is to ride back to shore with your inverted lines and get a homie to help you fix them with the method above

      Is there a theoretical way to pass it through the v while on the sea (Core bar)? Already done it several times on sea with twisted steering lines but i cant think of how it would work with a pass through the v. Can i do..the Line walk or something similar to self landing? Or what

    • @gethighwithmike

      Yeah sure! 1. NEVER try it without someone holding your kite. Sketchy sketchy...
      2. Make sure the person holding your kite isn't in water which is too deep to be able to stand, or they will get pushed downwind with the kite

      @@benclammer945if you can still fly the kite with the inversion, get back to shore and fix it. Don’t bother trying to fix this on the water.
      Fixing this on the water (like on land) requires you to fully disconnect from the kite, so big risk of totally losing it because it also tends to drift dead downwind when trying to fix this if someone isn’t holding the kite.
