How to do MASSIVE Backroll Hand Drags & Stop CRASHING | Kitesurfing tutorial | Get High with Mike

How to do MASSIVE Backroll Hand Drags and STOP Crashing them! I've met a lot of people who can do a small backroll hand drag in light wind, but as soon as the wind gets stronger, their technique is flawed and they crash SUPER HARD! Having been there myself and figured out what it takes to do longer drags and do them in strong wind, I decided to make a tutorial sharing my key points!

[@024322929]

Nyyeeow🤙🏻 super sick Video mike! Already learned to do sick darkslides and got a lot of probs for them! Always told them to have at your video:D I did insane progress cause of them. What I definitely take with me from this one is, not to pull the loop to early specially in strong winds (learned that the hard way:D) and going in with even more speed to slide longer as well!

[@gethighwithmike]

Legend! Thanks for coming back and sharing your experience bru!!! Nyeowww :D

[@davidflusin5705]

Great job once more. You seem to always zero in on exactly the things I'm struggling with. I'm definitely every guy crashing at the beginning 😂

[@gethighwithmike]

😂 I know because I've been there too!

[@Kostia]

I know how to do these on my Dice but everything he said at the beginning of the video on how to improve, makes sense to me. I will take note to yank that bar later to prolong the slides. Fantastic that you took the time and effort to include and comment on other submissions, respect.

[@gethighwithmike]

Thanks Konstantin! Please come back and comment how it goes 😁🙌

[@MatDGVLL]

Amazing video bro. I can't wait to try it.

[@gethighwithmike]

Please come back here and comment how it goes 😉

​@@gethighwithmike I'll be back 🤙🤙🤙 And here I am 🔥. Bro I kinda became obsessed with this trick because of you 😂 Got it in POV video if you wanna check one the progresses kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2qYaXWnj5ail9E Nyyeeeeow 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@richardhamilton1436]

Passing this around. Will help at the local spot! What happens to me in high wind is when I pull too early it flings me hard to the kite Slack line and kite inverts. pull later Is key for me as it’s the best feeling when nailing it and there are consequences if pull early.

[@robertfiedler421]

you learn fast when you pull too early though :D :D :D

[@esqucimenaosei5482]

Great video!! Always with good content and comentary. Can you make a video about introduction to unhoocked tricks??

[@gethighwithmike]

Thanks so much! I'm not the right guy to do that at the moment as I NEVER unhook haha! But if I ever get into it I'll be sure to make a video about it
