How to Send It! Your first KITELOOPS | Get High with Mike | Big Air Kitesurfing

How to Send It! Your first KITELOOPS | Get High with Mike. After hundreds of hours of coaching people just like you, I’ve discovered 1 big skill for you to practice that serves as a stepping stone to big kiteloops. It’s called a Sent Jump! No, I’m not talking about doing a big jump that impresses your mates so much that they tell you later over beers that you were ‘sending it today!’ I'm not talking about that awful movie that's just been announced either! Haha, no, when I say ‘send it’ I’m talking about sending your kite forward into the window. The process of sending it and pulling a kiteloop are so similar, yet the sent jumps are way safer, making them this ideal stepping stone. Not only that, but they’re also hella-fun!

I once saw @GetHighWithMike do a MASSIVE jump after which he came out to pick up some trash that was left on the beach. Then went back in for another epic launch. What a legend.

[@gethighwithmike]

Ah thanks bro! Very kind of you to say

[@JustGoKitesurfing]

Mike! You are a f.... genius 🤩 After watching this tutorial we went out with my buddy and SENT IT!! Completely changed our perspective of boosting and building confidence for our first high kiteloops. Huge respect for your tutorials! Keep them coming - meow 🐈‍⬛ 🤣😂

[@gethighwithmike]

Thanks so much! Stoked we're growing together!

Excellente!!

[@TKM11370]

In the UK a big air rider has named them 'fast fowards' because you go fast... Forward. 😂😊😉

[@gethighwithmike]

Haha that's brilliant!

[@biancavoget6315]

So happy I watched this before trying my first loops! Very well structured and useful information! Can’t wait to try this on my next session yewww! 🤙🏽

[@gethighwithmike]

Thanks for watching B! Happy sends!

[@MatDGVLL]

SEEEEENNNDDD IT 💫💫💫 Thank u for this masterclass

[@gethighwithmike]

Thanks for watching bro! 🤘

[@Kingrob2211]

Man, i am sitting in Tarifa, one more work-meeting left. There is wind at Tumbao for my 9 XR6. Kiteloops are my next goal, i did about 200 at 2m height to get the brain to understand to never stop looping. These "Sent Jumps" are exactly the next stepping stone i was looking for. Thanks Mike for this Tutorial coming in at EXACTLY the right time :).

[@gethighwithmike]

Loops, 9m XR and Tarifa! Those are 3 things I love to hear 🥰 Thanks for watching Robert

[@renanmonteiro8123]

Great video Bro! Take care with that airhead crashing in the first scene!! uha! See you in Brazil this year?

[@OneLaunchKiteboarding]

Very cool tip to train students building confidence. I never used this exercice with them but it makes total sense and therefore I will. I will alsogive it a shot for myself to improve my loop board off. Thx for the tip !

[@gethighwithmike]

Thanks for the great feedback! Always means a lot coming from you bro

[@OneLaunchKiteboarding]

@@gethighwithmike pleasure, keep up the good work ;)

[@robboerman9378]

Good stuff. I did not find the mailinglist signup on your website for the ebook. Where can I find that? Keep up the great vids

[@karoldrze6815]

Love this move! Thanks man! does it take longer for the kite to recover when sending deep then looping?

[@danradford1570]

Great info Mike, it's going to take me some practice to get over my muscle memory of heli looping the other way from this. I'm guessing it's going to be sketchy practicing sent board offs like this as if you don't get your back hand on to the bar in time to correct the send you are going down full speed! Any advice with this?

[@konstantinosmakrykostas5267]

Dude!!! Yestesday I was watching this video with my best friend and today we fucking SENT it. What a sick feeling!!! Thank you for your amazing tutorial!!!! Keep them coming!!!!

[@docsalsa6429]

Nice video! But what’s the difference between the “sent” jumps and downloops?

[@Jaque8SDSU]

Can you still heliloop ultra large kites? I’m usually riding 12-14knots on a Core Nexus 17M/XR5 19M, haven’t quite figured it out yet. But your videos really help!

[@yveslucas5212]

thanks Mike! great video as usual, isn't that working as well if you send the kite in the opposite direction that you've been jumping and land with a front hand heliloop?

[@majcyy]

In principle it’s possible but I think you won’t cover as much distance. Unless you’re doing a transition where you kill your speed on approach, you will end up having some ground speed that you will work against if you send the kite towards your back hand

[@LifeWithPaulLorena]

Great video Mike! My first sent jump resulted in bruised ribs so it's going to take a bit to get the confidence back to try it again! Lol! At 57 I don't heal as fast as I once did! Are you still in La Ventana? I've been kiting all winter in Baja and it's been awesome!

[@gethighwithmike]

Ahw dang I'm sorry to hear that!!! Get back out there Asap. I'm in New York right now and soon I'm gonna be in Hatteras. Been bouncing around a lot. La Ventana was amazing, I've gotta say

[@k2thiago]

Thiago Martins My next step bru! I finally dialed those heliloops with a normal jump, now I am gonna throw them sending. Question: when you send forward, should the heliloop necessarily been done with the back hand? Or depends of the height (Jump-send- swing under-heli front hand if time allows)?

[@gethighwithmike]

Epic brother! Can't wait to ride with you again in Brazil! Yes it should for sure be down with the back hand if you're sending it forward. When you send it forward, the kite will be slightly over to the side of your front hand, so in order for the loop to happen above your head, you need to pull it with the back hand

[@GreggerKBR]

F#cking loving your energy boet 👊

[@gethighwithmike]

Haha thank you bro 🙏🫶

[@jasonreilly1350]

Awesome tips mike!

[@gethighwithmike]

Thanks Jason 😁🤘

[@Monkey.Trades.Futures]

Mike we need to get back to the chupitos in tarifa Haha

[@gethighwithmike]

CHUPITOOOOSSS! Haha yes bru! Soon as this COVID kak is behind us

[@FRv4S]

how would you pronounce Yiaou? pishhuuu or ehhhhhhooowwww?

[@gethighwithmike]

😂😂 You can say it however you like! Maybe nyeowww or nyiawww or nyaiuuu or whatever really 😛

[@johnnykhawand]

Wait what? I thought the Heli Loop you do it by bringing the kite opposite the side you are traveling then loop it with the front hand. Do both work? or what you demonstrated in the video is the only way?

[@gethighwithmike]

A heli loop is a front OR back handed loop that happens above your head :) There's no textbook on this, but that's the way my mates and I look at it

[@johnnykhawand]

@@gethighwithmike Cool thanks!

[@beire1569]

Bzzzzz bold

[@driekeervieristwaalf]

Neoowwww

[@voncap7426]

Bruv, you fly high and travel ridoculous far but you have an unfair advantage! Your Mohawk keeps you flying straight and further! I already contact the FIA (Federation international of awesomeness) to appeal your hair.

[@gethighwithmike]

😂 It's not my fault! You gotta shave 1 too!

[@andreaspoke8273]

Nice but here in Thailand we got maybe 2 days a year with 20+ knots. I guess it's not relevant if kite in 15 knots on 12 meter.

[@gethighwithmike]

I still send it on the 12m actually! Give a try. Sure you're gonna love it!

[@LeuchTe_StriKe]

thats Bullshit. You can practice a Loop with every Kite by Lower Wind. to much HighLevel for Absolute Beginners.
