Progressing further into Kiteloops

- For the most part of the last year I´ve been getting into Kiteloops. I´ve started with Downloops, followed them up with higher jumps and Heliloops and finally ventured into Kiteloops. The progression is tedious and slow due to the low number of times the conditions to train are sufficiently good. After I´ve gotten good enough for my liking I started to film some of the progression. This is from the past 2-3 months when I took out some camera gear with me.
I´ve been on my 9m² #Reedin Supermodel in winds just above 18 Knots. Some of the loops are very low and I must strongly advise against doing them in such conditions. I´ve just fucked my right knee three weeks ago when the wind was to too low and I was just too stubborn and stupid.
The cut of this video is on the raw side. Just some shots with no music.
What I really like is the #surfr.app and the height information it reads out to you. You can hear them in the last three jumps, which is really good to develop a feeling for your jump height.
I hope to be back when autumn hits ... - Спорт
1:37 Thanks for such a cool interesting captur/grab! Don't kill your knees! I recommend Jumping in knee orthoses Donjoy all the time.
So good dude!
Good 😊 Job 🤙
Klasse!
Danke für das Lob!
sorry for your knee ! wish fast recovery. Nice shots good video! i m progressing and i am on stage 2 the heliloops, Few q... The height of the jump is important but how high? i see your jumps are gd ...not very high... so
1.what is going wrong on a lower jump coz often the kiter concentrated on the loop doesnt think of the high, i see u looping well even with low jumps
2. bar has to be released after the loop so your body can catch the kite ... is it so that on a low jump you will just crash after the loop?? thats my fear and still dont dare it.
3, helillops usually in the opposite direction from the loop?? i see your helis are on the same direction.. or it doesnr matter,....
Cld you explain your experience? Thanx keep looping!!
Also
thank you, my recovery is going okayish and I hope to be on the water again in august, even if its only the foil :)
the height is obviously a critical point. There are some instructuals out there stating that between 4-7m is a danger zone. Because if you only get this much height the kite might not catch you.
But you can´t compare apples to bananas :) Jumping 5m high and loop a Core XR will not work, because the kite is just too slow. Jumping 5m with my Supermodel (which is quite fast) is no problem at all. So the height on which kiteloops can be performed differs from kite to kite and from person to person and from spot to spot. From person to person because the skills to jump also differ and play a role. The better your takeoff is the easier the loop will be. It differs from spot to spot because the wind might change during your jump, maybe a gust hits or a lull, which also impacts. I hope this gives a better picture on the jumps. As mentioned, they have been very low, but I managed to get it done in these conditions. I destroyed my knee in sketchier conditions.
Regarding your points:
1: If you go for a loop it is hard to judge if your height is going to sufficient. your loop will be initiated before the apex of the jump, so you will not reach the maximum height anyway. The height you reach has to be high enough to recover the kite and have it catch you. If this is not possible, things will go wrong, your landings will be very hard and might blow out your knee.
2: exactly. After a loop that is way to low you will see the kite in the sky in front of you stalling when falling down. I´ve done th mistake to land it on my feet and blow out my knee. Despite the fact that I shouldn´t have tried to go for the loops on that day, for the landing I should´ve just landed fully on my butt
3: the definition for all those loops is in my eyes ... messed up. I would say that a heli-loop is defined by the position in the windwindow that it is performed in. For me that is above the Kiter. I cannot understand to distinguish between a loop above you that goes either left or right.
The video material is a bit older and since then I´ve started to heli loop both ways after a kiteloop. This is quite handy because you can loop according to your body position. Lets say you body rotates a bit to the left after your jump. In this case looping the heliloop right will give you an instable landing due to the kite pulling you towards your heels. If your loop it to the left it wil shoot up in front of your and your landing will be way more stable.
If you are looking to go out for kiteloops I can strongly advise "Learning to fly: Episode 1" also the instrutions from kitesurf college. If you follow the instructions kiteloops are not dangerous. They get dangerous if you start to do things out of the explanations and on your own risk.
Beyond that kiteloops are easy and require just the courage to perform them.
@@Alexomator thanx a lot for the detailed answer and all these you mentioned. I do appreciate. Have watched many videos incl the above u mentioned also Sam Light that covers beginning to loop with small jumps and light winds. However your explanations are to the point and very helpful. As you mention someone has to commit and go for it. Thanx again wishes for fast recovery
Very nice, keep it up man, feel like we are at a somewhat similar level.
I´ve seen some of your recent videos. You should really watch out for those Kiteloops below 7m. They did cost me my knee, don´t make the same mistake.
@@Alexomator loops just feel so amazing
1:05 loop is solid !!
Is it necessary to do kite loops when you jump high?
I would rather say it is necessary to jump high for kite loops. There is a "death zone" between 2-7m (depending on the kite) which you need to jump above or below.
Cooles Video! Wo ist der Spot?
Das war auf Römö, eine der Sandbänke hatte einen Teil der Nordsee bei Hochwasser abgetrennt. Leider hat sich die Sandbank verschoben und somit gibt es den Spot nicht mehr.
C'est où ce spot ?!?
а для чего он делает кайт-луп?
я понимаю, что резкий разворот, даёт рост тяги...
вот он ехал-ехал, перевел кайт и одновременно выпрыгнул. поэтому и взлетел. отлично.
и тут он ещё делает кайт-луп. для чего?
Wenn Sie mir etwas mitteilen wollen, dann empfehle ich eine Sprache zu verwenden die ich verstehe. Ihnen stehen an dieser Stelle die deutsche oder die englische Sprache zur Verfügung.
Aus einer Übersetzung ihres Textes werde ich nicht schlau. Den einzigen Punkt den ich ihrem Txt entnehmen kann ist die Frage danach wieso ich einen kite loop mache. Die Antwort darauf ist einfach: zur Übung.
Nur durch Übung wird man besser, nur durch Übung gewinnt man mehr Erfahrung.
он учится их делать...когда научится и начнет прыгать с ними в сильный ветер, наградой за это станет + 100 к адреналину от каждого прыжка
Зачем вообще он это все затеял? Влез в гидрокостюм и ветренную погоду вышел из дому? Купил дорогущий кайт и портит его?
great location?
Yes, a very good location!
