Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2022
- How difficult is it to learn a darkslide? It’s one of the most stylish kiteboarding tricks, but learning how to do a darkslide isn't easy - and usually involves a lot of face plants. Our group of kite friends spent a two sessions in Hatteras attempting to learn darkslides - check out the video to see how we did…

Love this guys! The group learning bit, and showing the actual learning process... Finally, someone shows how it really is to be learning these tricks. Love the energy of this film! :) Keep it up!!
Thanks so much :) glad to hear you enjoyed it!
The person dancing on the little green island was a nice addition. Great fun!
Had a smile on my face the whole time watching this. Respect well done. Love the small island.
That's awesome, thank you :)
I have no words... You guys really don't know how lucky you are to share this experience and have this quality of memory recorded for us to enjoy it as well.. you are absolutely awesome! Cheers from Spain!
Thanks so much :) cheers from Canada!
So nice to see you guys having so much fun learning together, so different from the seriousness and narcisism we see too often in "cool" or "extreme" sports. Cheers!
Great stuff guys. If you aint crashing your aint progressing 😁.
Had an awesome week in Hatteras with the crew. Will continue working on the dark slide this summer.
it was such a great trip! can't wait to see the progression :)
Still the most enjoyable video from @ our kite life. Learning and laughing watching this.
Hope you're reading this. Please keep up uploading videos like this 😅
You are so friendly and positive! I wish to have a chance to ride with you. 🙂 This video motivated me to try darkslide when I'm on twintip
Hopefully someday we'll meet on the water :) good luck with the darkslides!!
Very cool video. Love it.
Fun group to try this trick! thanks for this video. I bet everyone can do a backroll now. . .I saw the video a few years ago when the group was learning that trick.
Great video, and fun memories. Thanks for nicely putting it together 👍🏼
Glad you liked it! 😁
Awesome video! Great music and editing. Hatteras is an incubator for learning new tricks.
Thanks Fred :)
Super cool love you guys
Great content and inspiration. Looks like great Hatteras fun.
Thanks so much! Hatteras is the best 😊
Your videos are always very entertaining, informative and a real motivation boost to try things out. Really nice to see how you inspire yourself from the tutorial videos we all watch and try it out in real life. Overall a lot of fun to watch. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much :) happy to hear you enjoy the videos!
Yeah but this video was especially fun and well done!
What a great time with you guys! Loved every minute, and would gladly do it again! ❤️😎 Still worn out from watching! Lol….
it was such a great trip, can't wait to go back! :)
Great video. I think I may take up your challenge when I'm there for 3weeks in June. The video quality was amazing BTW!
Thank you! You should definitely give it a shot - it's the perfect place for learning darkslides :)
You guys rock!
Fun crew you have there to kite with! Dark slide is next on my list, thanks for sharing the video.
Yeah we're lucky to have such a great crew :) good luck with the darkslides!
Позитивное видео! Очень качественные съёмки, спасибо!
A couple of folk are trying to drag the front of the board, not the back. I got mentally stuck on that too. I named this variation on the trick "The Daftslide"
Yeah more of this please ;)
Cool video, your group should make a video learning a raley to blind or wrapped, that would really interesting.
We debated learning raley - next time!
Great video!
Thanks!
Was in the OBX at the same time as you guys. Was hoping to bump into ya. Oh well. Dark slides are sweet and they unlock a bunch more tricks ones ya get the kite movement down.
Nice! Hope you had a great time in OBX. Maybe we’ll see you there in the future :)
It's so funny and positive!!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed 🙂
Thank you, great content! Now I know what to expect when trying first time 😂😂 but what I recognized is, most of you had both hands on the bar, tending to oversteer. Maybe results get better with the back hand at the middle of bar and the front hand holding the tip of the board up. I know it’s said easy when not experienced in darkslides. 😉
But it looked like you had a lot of fun and progress 👍🏽👍🏽
Good point - definitely something to keep in mind for next time :) thanks!
So much fun! What do they say? The beatings will continue until moral improves!
Watched your downloaded Noobs video on flight today from Dakhla to Casablanca - it was very entertaining - great commentary from the team. I loved your green rock island base hangout as well. Can’t wait to try but I think I need more room for errors- were some of the spots not a bit tight ? 😊 Thanks!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video 😊 ya - it was sort of tight going into the flat water spot in front of the pier - not a ton of room for error. It looks closer than it was on camera, and thankfully no people or kites crashed into it!
Красавцы! Так держать!)
Great vid
Thanks!
Love it, love kiteboarding (are you guys selling merch?)
Thanks! We aren’t selling merch. Maybe in the future though!
Hi i was wondering if you could give some advice.
I recently bought a 11.5m 2011 (i think) best kahoona kite
And a 2012 9m fone most wanted bandit both with bars and lines. The kites themselves look structurally sound but im concerned about breaking lines or the chicken loop not working 'under preasure' they both work when tested.
Should i replace them? And if so with what? Can i simply get new lines? Do i need to check anything else? Not a lot of people kite around me and the nearest kite shop is about 100miles away.
It’s hard for us to say without seeing the kites in person. The best thing to do would be to have more experienced kiters take a look if possible
@@OurKiteLife thanks for the suggestion
Putting the Canadian in Canadian hole i see!
Finally 😅
Kook's learning?
