HOW TO KITELOOP TO MEGALOOP
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 чер 2015
- This video is part of the EPIC series on HOW TO do kiteboarding tricks. So if you are interested in learning HOW TO KITELOOP then watch this video very closely. I am 99.9 % sure that after watching this video you will be KiteLooping like a pro. But be careful out there especially for the Mega Kiteloops.
P.S. I tried my best to keep this video under 6 minutes but there so much info that needed to be shared in order for you to make sure you understand what to do and what not to do. Actually this video was 28 minutes long and was able to cut it to 12 minutes and of course left a lot of footage out. Enjoy it.

i've watched many videos on kiteloops, but this is the one that got me doing them. thanks
Love your videos, you explain the moves with clarity and passion, thanks for sharing and happy kiting!
Awesome that you explained it on the water! From that viewing angle u see it way better
Best first person views, as you always do. Thanks a lot.
Best explanation of looping....thanks bro!
Great video, I'm surprised this is about the only mega-loop instructional worth looking at on UA-cam?
I absolutely love your videos, keep them coming!
I think this is the best one I have seen online to date. Kiteloops can be dangerous, so the progressive nature of the tuition is great.
Dimitri we love the kites and the videos especially these instructionals. Keep up the good work! Could you do one about board offs with the gopro? Thanks :) Epic rocks!
Thank you Dimitri! I learn how to jump watching your tutorial and now continue to learn how to looping!
That's great.
Excellent explained.
tks Dimitri
The NORTH DICE is a great kite. You should try the SCREAMER kite model and see what this kite is all about.
Hello MVBattle. Once you are done looping the kite and you are on your way down it all comes to where you kite is located in the air and the feeling you have on the bar, plus the surroundings you have around you and the hight. But you have to make sure to bring the kite in front of you if you are very high up in the air. You can do 2 things to make this happen.
1) Continue looping the kite the same way you did by pulling your back hand
or
2) Once you loop the kite and you are on your way down, redirect your kite the other way so it goes in front of you.
All you want to do is keep these lines tight and these 2 steps are the only way to do it.
It's very hard to explain it but you will understand once you get on the water.
I really like the first person pov camera and live commentary.
Great video, specially for a beginner like me, didn't know that you can start with step 1 just testing with looping the kite without having to do the full trick.
Thanks man, last week I did my first kiteloop in 6m and landed :).
Dimitri, when you do all the small kiteloop to the big kiteloop, how far is your bar? Is it all in, just where is the sweet spot or depowered? Thanks for your great video!
Great explanation, thank you!
are you even edging upwind, when doing the first loop in the video or is it enough to keep the riding direction and just pull the back hand?
great vid, keep it up!
Firstly, I luv the way you make the extremely challenging moves look & sound so easy. Please excuse my ignorance, but is the kiteloop a functional or a flashy manoeuvre? Don't get me wrong, I'm totally impressed. Keep the vids coming please!
Thanks for this !! :)
Thanks! I just tried and landed my first kiteloop jumps today😅
I totally understand what you are saying Mr. Dakot Sioux. English is my 3rd language.

:)...at 0,30" of this video you speak about three things beginners must have before to try kite loop.....and because I don't understand the words that you pronounce ( ...is my fault that I don'understand, sorry ) , I ask you to write this tree things. Thanks! .....second, I ask you where is the place of the video and if there you have a school where to come and learn. Thanks again
+dakota sioux
1. guts (courage)
2. balls (even more courage :p)
3. you need to commit (never stop steering the kite in the middle of the kiteloop because you are afraid)
awesome vid dimi! but you should do a voice over in a quiet room where u can talk freely and slowly :D anyways love ur style!!
Nice video 👍. Those crickets are dam loud 😂
This is THE most helpful kiteloop tutorial thanks man!
Nice Dimitri! thanks!
Thanks for a sick video Dimitri. You rock man!!!
very great I 'll try it tomorrow
Hi Dimitri, really good video, where is your school?
Nice video!
Dimitri, that's S I C K .. thanks for posting mate
I'm becoming comfortable with helilooping and low kiteloops (powered loops or whatever they call it). But I wonder: Is the strength of the kiteloop determined by how close to the apex of the jump you are?
So for example, if I loop the kite just before the apex --> kiteloop (powered). But if I do it at the very apex --> heliloop (slightly powered). And if I wait like a second or so after apex --> heli loop (weak loop, soft landing). Does that make sense?
great videos
Dimitri, where are you from bro ? your tutorials are really great .. you teach ? where should i go to get some presencial lessons with you ? Thnx !
+Sebastian Deluca Thank you Sebastian. You can GOOGLE my name: Dimitri Maramenides and you will find pages and pages about who I am.
Love it man that was sweet. thanks for the vid.
can this be done on a landboard with a foil kite?
Dimitri, I really like your tutorials.
Can I use some of your words, sound tracks or extract some sequences to incorporate in my movies ? I will give credit to you (quoting you at the end of my little movies).
I just find some of your words very inspirational, very relax, showing mastery and humility.
Thanks, Laurent
Laurent Hayem Yes you can but please Credit my name and my brand.
DIMITRI MARAMENIDES You are a star ! I will credit your name and your brand ! thanks. Laurent
Awesome
Thanks man!
Can you explain a little bit more about controlling the right direction of a kiteloop, since you're making a huge horizontal swing. You don't want to end up on the shore, other obstacles and kiters. It all seems a little bit uncontrolled sometimes. Especially when you're in front of the kite and you have to steer it back.
Hello Luuk. In order to do a MegaKiteloop you will need lots of space. So make sure you have no one in front of you for at least few hundred meters. Now if the conditions are on Shore, then you will need to go way up wind so you don't land on the beach.
Awesome video man ! I wish it was as easy as you make it look though =). Big balls is the prime ingredient I guess. How far into the loop do you depower so the kite can raise up ? Or do you not depower at all ? Thanks !
Hello Fabian. You never depower the kite but you need to keep the bar in the middle of the throw where it's the most power. But then once your kite has looped this is when you can spin the bar in which it depowers the kite for few seconds until you grab the bar again. But never depower the kite.
DIMITRI MARAMENIDES awesome tanks for the tips and for posting the video 🤙🤙
Στην αντιπαρο τραβηξες το δικο σου tutorial?
My english is not so well, could you write the three conditions that you speak we need before to make kite loop? I can't understand....sorry :)
Hello, I would like to ask you if a core impact is a good kite for kiteloops, I use à 9m or 11m. Thx
Yes the CORE IMPACT is a good kite for Kitelooping. But if you want to go higher then get your hands on the SCREAMER model.
DIMITRI MARAMENIDES ok thank you very much!
What is the footwork in stage 1?
Easy on the Achilles too... Been a while D. Good video. Call me sometime. Gator
when you stop ... it hurts... know i get it...
Nice
All of this is so easy on screen, but when you go to water it is all different.
How To redirect the kite after the loop ?
I'm always falling down because I'm in front of the Kite
MVBattle MPE , must make after that downloop..
What do you mean by that!!!! If you are coming down hot its normal after a KiteLoop. But this is when the kite is at 12 o'clock above you. And if you are still way up and the kite already looped then you need to continue pull on the bar so the kite can loop again so the kite is always in front of you. If the kite is seating still in front of you that means you are in deep S&*$%. First of all in order to make big KiteLoops you want to make sure you are not doing them in gusty conditions. 2nd of all you want to have a kite that is able to do nice kiteloops.
sick
Is it possible to kite loop up wind?
You have to edge up wind the last minute so you can make the lines tight for the kite to respond better.
serious? xD
Location??
You need GUT, you need BALL, and you need COMITTT

QUIERO EN ESPAÑOL---POPR FAVOR
But won't this rip my arms off? O_O
Ya don't want your kite to loop lower than you are, or you'll eat it... Prove me wrong, if ya feel like it>
Although, only in deep waters please!
Its getting off my arse is the problem
Какой бесявый звук но заднем плане ) что за звери
