Sick mate! Love the 4 step naming system and its awesome to see the judging guide tool!

Thanks David!

[@ericpouliotfrechette9702]

Very nice video... as usual! Clear and perfect explanation of the tricks. You help us to have a better sense of comprehension of the tricks. I will look the tricks differently now. Thanks! 😜🤙

[@gethighwithmike]

Thanks Eric! Stoked you enjoyed it!

[@TKM11370]

So glad the name I coined is now in circulation. Fast Forwards. Cheers Mike

[@dpwild328]

This was awesome!!! More visuals/examples of tricks you're describing 🤙🏽. 🤔And make sure Adrian & Collin get this - I think they're coloring outside the lines a bit when they try to put a name to some of these 😉

[@verruckterspinnerlp4572]

your vids are so good ty bro

[@axarothfiefa6676]

Hey Mike, great vid, hoping you do more Brazil coaching weeks in the future. I'm bummed I couldn't make the last one. Nyoooooooooom!

[@gethighwithmike]

Hey Axaroth! My Brazil clinic is bookable now and there are only 1 or 2 spots left (1 guest from last year is still confirming) :) check it out on gethighwithmike.com

[@olegta4581]

well done, did you sort out all the questions right? Please do the technique of jumping from the kicker wave , otherwise there are questions how to get the maximum effect of a springboard ?

[@vikingh3008]

Great video Mike 🤙

Thanks bru! 😁

[@yannickbougard8706]

Good job Mike. Much needed structure for the tricks. Maybe Colin and Adrian will finally stop complaining or making stuff up. Though knowing them they won't stop. What's the name for double kiteloops tricks?

[@maciejtyrcz]

bad ass mate !!!!!

Dzięki!

[@gethighwithmike]

Haha Yyyyooongg! :D Love it

[@gethighwithmike]

Let me know how the practice goes!

[@RafCenterMyself]

Hey Mike, cool explanation! In my opinion your names make a lot of sense. I would have named the tricks the same way, after watching a s*** load of videos 😂

[@gethighwithmike]

Glad you agree Raffael!

[@MrGatoMena]

Nice video, great job. Where is part 2? But for now thank you. Me, miles away from making any loop in the air, and fact maybe too old to try. I enjoy the jumping and want to get higher. I just want doble digits Working progress..

[@jordanferreira7615]

Just in time for me to understand what's going on at Lord's of Tram, thanks Mike

Hey Mike, your progress it so insane, Hui is currently giving me the ITC training and he told us all about you and your progress from when he gave you the atc training. Big love and keep it up 🤙🏽

[@gethighwithmike]

Aaaah thanks so much bru! Hui is the man! We couldn't ask for a better teacher

[@thomwiersma6519]

@@gethighwithmike for sure man!

[@ericpouliotfrechette9702]

What's up Mike?!! Just a small request: You know, the condition are not always perfect to edge perfectly before a jump as many place we ride are choppy water. It happend many time the launch is sketchy and not well alligned. Can you make a video or give us some tricks to recover in the air when the position is shitty? 😜🤙

[@roadnkite]

Hey Mike, Which min height is considered as a big air jump?

[@gethighwithmike]

As long as the kite is over your head at the peak of the jump it's a big air jump in my books :) Whether it's 2m or 20m, both riders are doing big air if jumping is the goal!

[@atoa1776]

Could you also make a video like this but for freestyle tricks?😢😢😢😢😢

[@gethighwithmike]

I barely know the basics of freestyle 😂😅

[@grantmayo8443]

inverted backroll kite loop = sushi roll

[@gethighwithmike]

Boooom! Should have included you in this video 💪

[@grantmayo8443]

@@gethighwithmike :)

[@christopherwright3586]

To replace the name "Front-roll-board-off-spin" how about "Spinner Dolphin"? Since spinner dolphins can't usually jump too high, but the more spins they do, the more impressive. If people start getting good at these, just add a number equal to the degrees of spin: "spinner dolphin, 720!!" I'm sure eventually it'll be shortened to just "Dolphin ###".

[@gethighwithmike]

Haha I’m gonna call them that actually 😂🙌

[@bernardkriel1]

late back roll foward added rotation to blind heli looop

[@gethighwithmike]

😂😂😂😂

[@Sebbesebastian]

it should be late backroll an super late backroll!

[@stuartcollins8447]

Why can't you buy a surfr board mount?

[@gethighwithmike]

They're still in development. They've been having issues with production. I've used the prototype though and it's sick!

[@KITEFORUMcom]

yep, the small differences make it different! Please don't give it crazy names...no one can remember all. Just name it what it is! And don't forget the INDY and STRAP Boardoffs ;-)

[@gethighwithmike]

Haha yes I thought of you when I said "and more" 😂😂😂

This stuff is way out of my league. I'm Definitely NOT BAKL material. But you promised to make a video about edging. What happened?

[@gethighwithmike]

It's coming Jon! 😅 It's difficult because my video editor and I are split up at the moment. He's in Poland and I'm in New York. Sorry for the delay 😥
