Kiteboarding: How to Darkslide - Ride with Blake Vlog 45

[@KITEFORUMcom]

Nice video! I would like to add that you are doing a Kiteloop, not a downloop. The kite loops backwards over the zenith, so it is a Kiteloop. If you loop the kite forward not over the zenith, it is a downloop. You also don’t need to loop the kite, if you are well powered you can do it without a Kiteloop. Enjoy!

Thanks Toby, I meant to film this with a downloop to pair with the interview portion. I dropped the ball on my wide shots. We'll probably do another more detailed variation in the future focusing more on the loops and ways to approach the trick. We'll have to consult you when planing it out for a little airstyle technique. ;) Thanks for all the shares! - Rygo

Thanks

[@MACkiteboarding]

You're very welcome, Eugene-thank YOU for watching. 🤙🏽

Kite loop not down loop lol

[@MrJamesohh]

That was insanely confusing

[@MACkiteboarding]

Sorry we weren't able to keep things clear for you, James. Any feedback on how we can make it better for next time?

[@MrJamesohh]

@@MACkiteboarding Hey guys. Usually I love the content that Blake does, but this one was just all over the place. It was like he made it up on the spot. Like someone else said below, write the bullet points down and then talk to them. Also as this move requires decent kite control and movement more wide shots of the kite movements would've been really helpful. The North Academy did the same trick a while ago and I found it really helpful - kzbin.info/www/bejne/roGcXp55jqurbck

As if that's a darkslide loooooooooooooool

[@kristobahl]

How many bong rips did he do before he started this explanation 🤣🪴👀

[@MACkiteboarding]

Ha! 🤙🏽 No bong-rips, but several concussions for my friend, Blake. Most people could only aspire to be half the person he is. Good vibes only. -Aaron
