Your video has definitely inspired me to just begin. Definitely going to Langebaan soon and going for lessons. It'll just be a sin not to utilise these perfect weather conditions here in Cape Town

I am also pushing the limits quite hard over the last years and love it, but started in 2015 - so no comparison ;-) The recent change to North Orbits is helping a lot. Just amazing kites for Kiteloops. Keep on pushing and always track your progress somehow in a diary or sth similar - this keeps up the motivation a lot! Regarding new tricks that I recommend besides the obvious next steps like boogie or late back: Do a high inverted frontroll (send the kite a bit over 12) and after the frontroll land with a downloop and a second late frontroll into transition - best with a big kite. Feels super natural and you will love it!

After that you only want to go higher and higher which will push you into wanting to learn more tricks. Most people are shocked of what you can achieve in 1 year of kiting when they see, the key to this is consistency and passion. I'm most of the time the first to arrive on the spot and the last to leave. A lot of work went into this which you'll see as a result. Loved the question and keep me updated on your progression!

So i decided to change my quiver after 6-7 months to '21 orbits and man do i love them. I was able to define my technique to go higher, feally trust the kite and how fast it is. It really learned me how to as the kite will most of the time catch me from 5m which most kites will do from 7m. Hopefully this helped!

That's great! Just keep learning to jump higher as you get comfortable with looping the kite. Try some downloop transitions to jump fownloop transitions and keep building up the height! Be aware that the kits most likely will not catch you in the 3-7m heights so either go slow or full send it! And why worry about can happen? It hasnt right? Just stay mindfull and know your limit. Looping the kite is something which i think is overrated as the pull dependa on the wind. Hopefully this helped!

I was looking for new boards with channels for grip and the boards i had in my vision where torque, atmos and eleveight commander. The atmos only had channels at the tips wich i didnt really see the point of at that time and the commander was in my opinion to much. So i chose the route in between which was the torque.

Respect man, dit motiveert mij weer om volgend jaar ook te starten met downloops :) Ik heb zelf nu dus een Gaastra Spark & Pure en twijfel om over te stappen naar een ander merk. Heb jij in je jumps & transitions veel verschil gemerkt toen je van Gaastra wisselde naar North?

Lekker voor gaan! Meeste denken dat het heel eng is maar dat is het niet! Helpt alleen maar met je progressie. Ik was over gestapt omdat ik de gaastra gewoon niet chill vind. Ik had de pure en die was gewoon voor freestyle wat ik niet wilde. Een kite die past waar je hem voor wil gebruiken helpt met je progressie. Kies iets wat jij wil gaan doen en test dan een aantal kites in dat dicipline. Dat ik met north vaarde wil niet zeggen dat iedereen deze fijn vind!
