Thanks mike! You do need to be careful tho when crashing with the kite at 12. Obviously when you crash there’s a lot more drag from the water and you immediately start to slow down from going downwind and what often happens is that the lines will fall slack, the kite starts to frontstall, fall down and then randomly catch wind again which can be quite dangerous in strong winds (I’ve broken a line before cuz of that pull). If I can I always put the kite at the zenith for as long as possible and right before I hit the water I steer the kite down a bit to remain line-tension.
That's a great point! Totally agreed!
This is a must watch!
Great video as always mate 🙌
Super awesome to have all this explained in one video! So many of us just kinda figure this out on our own (if we get lucky) so this video will definitely save some hardcore shredders!
Thanks bro! Stoked you like it!
Seen that video from Anton a couple of times and sure it is showing how stuff can go very bad very quick and how to solve it. Never thought on falling on my belly, another skill to keep an eye on! Keep it up Mike 🤙🤙
What a great video. Thanks a lot, Mike. Your video production is absolutely amazing.
What is about edging technique video? Can’t wait to see it!
I needed this so much, thank you Mike, quality content as always, keep rocking bro
Thanks so much bro!
Great video. Many thanks.
Very nice video!!! Thanks! I think it would also be super interesting to get any tips on how to learn to steer the kite in the air going backwards like in a slow roll or when messing up the takeoff and getting stuck.
This is funny that this topic is emphasized by a big air expert, as plenty of big crashes happened at the early stage of kite practice, and all along chaotic progression ! And as much as I know you are the first one to give tips on it on UA-cam … appart plenty of nice crashes compilations !
Thank you, it is never too late!!!😇
Haha yes I've had masssssive crashes. It's funny but at some point you figure these things out from this video and then you stop crashing hard. You still crash, but it's controlled. And my kite hardly ever tomahawks these days because I got better at steering it before impact 🕺
Really helpful dude! It’s cool that you are helping the community to reduce serious risks! Keep it up👊🏽👊🏽
Thanks for watching! 🚀
Allways good tips, see you in the Next challenge 💪💪😀
Never been taught to crash nor to use my security system by my 4 kite instructors from my beginnings.... so important to keep safe ... and alive . Another fucking great video: You teach like à pro ;)
And the one from your buddy about deathloop should be wide shared too
Great video dude! Very slick and well explained! 100% agreed with majority of our complacency around hard objects, all it takes is one accidental loop and its game over.
Bro, always leaving good comments! Thanks for being a supporter ❤️
best video you made so far. This should be seen by everyone. Thanks for making it!
Thank you!
Thank you for this. Another awesome and hilarious video!
Thank you for watching! 😬🕺
legend!
Thank you Mike! Your videos are awesome!!!! 💪👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Matt!
As usual very instructive video! thanks! 👍🙂🤙
Thanks Eric! 😬🕺
When you broke your MCL at 1:32, you appeared to do Board, Bum, Back. I guess this technique is limited to a certain height/speed, after which it risks injury? You always sneak in a disturbing clip which is funny as. I love your videos - thanks for these.
Hahaha thanks! It looks like board bum back, but I actually had all my weight over the board 😅😂
I'd like to add: one way to stay humble about crashing is to keep landboarding in your regular rotation of disciplines. It really forces you to be restrained and controlled. Also, I always wear a helmet and pads when landboarding.
Thanks for this! Taking lessons resulted in all of my early crashes being safely in the water. Jarring, but fairly safe.
Good job for doing it the right way 🚀
Great video, thanks😊
Thanks Thomas!
Just broke my ankle on 3 places during a kite session. I hardly took any risks, guess I'm an amateur haha. Thanks for the great hints! This will help me to prevent getting injured again
6:16 I almost broke my ribs on this one 🤣
Hi mike, i m a big fan of u from China! Highly recommend that u should update sooner, can't wait any longer！
And if there is any possibility u can do a jump tutorial video ( stance,pop and body posture)??
I guess it depends on your other experiences when you start, but these were pretty obvious to me even as beginner. The pain point are those crashes where you launch so badly you can't apply the techniques. I find the biggest problem for me has always been losing sense of direction and control of kite when rotating unexpectedly, though that's happening less now that I'm intentionally rolling more often. Might be a good idea to focus on spinning tricks before going for big air for minimizing the hurt.
Man where was this video 7 weeks ago, a week before I broke/bruised my ribs hahaha. Will definitely be taking this advise, thanks for the video!
Aaaah sheet I'm sorry bro 😓😅
Tell me about it… Just sprained my ankle 10 days ago crashing on my board… welcome to the club
Ahw damn!
Is it possible to quick release out of a death loop????
Hi Mike! Thanks for another great video.
A somewhat related question:
I find it easy to jump high (ca 8-9m) and land with my big kites (12m, and 14.5m). They always catch me.
However, I only land properly 50% of my high jumps with my smaller kite (a 9m Orbit, & I refuse to go high with smaller kites, as they move too fast for my current taste). The 50% of landings I crash have significant impact on my knees, and happiness.
Any tips one should consider when flying small kites? How to make those jumps work?
Some kite brands and models have much better catch than do other brands. A feature worth researching I find... you can start with Mikes shirt.
Re the knees, after three same brand super lightweight carbon boards after every jump session my ankle joints would be black and blue as well as the soles of my feet felt pounded. Even moving to XR7 kites did not help that much. Since a year I have moved to heavy freestyle rockered board with a displacement bulb on the bottom centreline line (thanks Youri) The weight (mass) of the board absorbs energy and as well I selected pads that seemed very stiff but they do not allow energy to travel up into my legs.
My experience shared
Whats up??? Nice vid -again ! Stoked! Yewwwnnnn! ☄️🌈🔥 pro’s too gets hurt tho, as you well know, but they are taking much higher impacts too that average Joe, i guess :) peace!
I needed this video in my life
Haha thanks Bobby! ❤️
@@gethighwithmike video idea stretches for blokes that mess up there bodies in the way you just described! Haha ♥️♥️
Most of my crashes are head first and can't do anything about it 🤣. I got the Ride Engine Defender HF Impact Vest they say it is for foiling couldn't find an Empax that would ship to where i live. Do you think the defender works or better get the Empax?
Ahhh just the video I needed; thanks Mike!
Just Monday, I suffered a grade 2 concussion while practicing a backroll in slightly stronger winds and had full blown amnesia for about 30 minutes- not fun!
In light of this and once I recover, I’ve been considering getting a helmet, as I have zero intention of ceasing to absolutely send it as often as possible.
Any thoughts on helmets? Simba Sentinel 1?
Best,
Franz
Hey Franz, same here, have been wearing a helmet for last 4 years ever since blacking out on beach with a head impact. I started with a Pro-Tec, but have moved on to the Mystic which is lighter and has a clever magnetic clasp.
Hi Mike. Thanks for the useful video. How about crashing with boots ? :) any tips ?
Thanks for watching! I don't ride boots because it's suicide for big air 😅
Ive just fucked up my ribs trying out a double front crail grab, wrongly timed AND mostly important my impact was resting on the beach! First time that I get out with out it .. and bam, got wrecked 😵💫
Thanks mike! You are always a legend 🤘🏽
Aaaah sheeeet I'm sorry! Heal up quickly bru!
Welcome to the club. Here take that seat harness.

молодчина что поднял этот вопрос , все очень понятно
I needed to see this video before I hit up floras lake and busted my ribs brotha man 😂😂
Sorry bro 😭Better late than never 😂
@@gethighwithmike haha allllll gravy baby, all healed up and ready to hit it again. Keep crushing it my boy on the videos 🤜💥🤛
Great tips. I’ve found that my worst crashes happen when I get fucked up by a loop and land on my side or on my back.
Any tips for when you know you’re gonna land on your back other than trying to get the kite as high as possible?
Yes absolutely! Great question.
Answer is 2 things.
If you're jumping left: Start to realize that your right hand steers the kite "back where you came from" and your left steers it "towards where you're going". That way you don't think about "steering left" but rather "steering forward"
Does that make sense? That way when I'm upside down or backwards I don't think "steer left". I think steer forward and know to use my front hand (my left hand)
2:
Get in the habit of thinking where you're gonna steer your kite during your trick before you perform the trick. Every trick can be planned before you even go for it. It's a routine at the end of the day and we practice and develop that routine.
Just hurt my rib today in El Gouna while helilooping too early (im still learning those fuckers). Thanks for the video :D subscribed, maybe the vest will save me next time!
Sorry bru! Tip: learn sent jumps with back hand heli loops. Helps a lot!
Not getting the kite back above your head after a take off/rotation gone wrong is definitely one that can hurt. Totally disoriented pulling the wrong side of the bar = involuntary, slow, big-arc kiteloop while flying backwards and/or upside down makes a for a pretty hectic landing that will knock the wind out of you...
So true hey! It's so easy to mix left and right when you're rotating, so I realize the tip sounds 'easier said than done'. But I think people let go of the bar too often in stead of learning how to steer their way to safety
So Mike I have the older model CORE bar with the twist quick release. Only had it misdeploy once while body dragging with a surfboard. What are your thoughts?
It just happens with those sometimes, no biggie
I liked the old twist QR as much as the new one hey! It was a bit harder to put back together but I had confidence in it.
@6:17 LMFAO
What are your thoughts about the strap thightness? I have broken my foot because it remained stuck in the stap While the other one went out. Since I started boardoffs (landed it, thanks for the tips in the vid:D!) its alot looser, and now when one foot shoots out the otherone has room to rotate if the board flips away. Feels alot safer.
That's a great question! I think that it's safer to have at least a little bit of wiggle room so your feet can come out.
The other thing to consider is that if they're too loose, you're at risk of one coming out more often.
At the end of the day, I recommend getting good at ditching the board 🙏🕺
And sorry about your foot!!!
Hey bro... I have difficulty to do spins as I jump higher, I get a bit lost with the kite position and eventually loop it unintentionally.... any tips?
Yes sure! I suggest riding with your hands right in the middle of the bar. Also it's good to start mapping (in your mind) that your left hand is going to steer the kite forward, and your right hand steers it back (when riding left). The alternative is to think front hand steers it forward and back hand steers it back, but this mapping is incorrect when you're half way through a rotation. Does that make sense?
Don't forget the game before the game. Strength and flexibility will have you walking away from the same spill. Yoga will keep you pliable. Ask LeBron James
NNYEWWW --- SPLAT!
😂
Thnx for the tips
I once got 1 foot stuck in the footstraps and landed doing a split
Hit my dong pretty hard and couldn't walk for 2 weeks
Damn! So the dong was bruised, but the board was broken? 😂
I’ll blow my safety if you so much as look at me wrong, BOOM pull it! it’s fun! 💥🤙💥
😂 That's my guy!
