Surviving The Death Loop. Episode II of kiteboarding tutorial on stopping an auto-kiteloop.

[@peter-alanalchin1025]

Hey Anton thanks for these videos. I have been kitting for 6 months now almost every day I can do a whole bunch of tricks but I never paid to much attention on safety till recently when one of my budies got into some serious trouble. I ended up watching your video and as fates may have it last week after an 8 meter jump I landed hard and immediately went into death loop in 25 knots with my slingshot 9. I say in all confidence that I would not have known what to do if I didn't stumble across your video. I just grabbed the furthest line/ handlebar and pulled it in this slowed me down to untangle my bar and I was good to go. Thanks Budi

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Hey, Peter! Thanks for your story, really really great to know, that these vids help! I put a lot of effort to create them. Thanks, man. Take care!

[@ev304]

Basicly the same thing happened to me. It's scary for someone who is beginning. Amazing video

[@matthoevet]

Well done. Vol 1 and 2 are both extremely informative and well produced. An excellent public service. Thanks.

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Glad to hear that! Thanks for taking time to say it, really appreciate that!

[@ABESuperKiteDay]

Outstanding video. Must watch for all students and experienced riders. Amazing work, great perspective on this controversial matter. Can't argue with this video. Loved all of it. Super good job Anton.

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Your comments make me go further, bro) Thanks for your words man, they mean a lot to me!

[@OneLaunchKiteboarding]

very good job and dedication to help out. a lot of patience patience and work to show people why there are wrong. The line cutting experience is very well made. this video is a must seen.

[@antonchernyshov8759]

I had a feeling, that guys don't trust me much, when I just say something on some forum page, for example...So....I think filming it was the only option.

[@danieldiazgranados6343]

thank you!!

[@aybo836]

yes yes and yes! I totally agree! Thank you so much for this PERFECT video! Super uber helpful!

[@yenerakdag2300]

For a beginner like me! Till now i Saw many kite vids on YT but non of them explained clearly how to handle in a deadloop. Keep up the great work 👍

[@JulioParigi]

Thanks for sharing and proving this amazing knoledge. As a begginner kiter, I had never been warned of this situations and couldn't imagine it beeing possible. I was remaining naive with the "in case of any poblem, juste relase the kite". I feel like I'm a better kiter now. I'm gonna practice that as soon as possible. Thanks again.

[@chemafernandes]

Quite speechless after this... 😮👌🙉 had seen the 1st one and loved it! But now you went all out, even damaging your gear ... will share this for sure!! THANK YOU 😊

[@MisterSkeptic]

Thank you for taking the time and sacrificing some of your equipment in order to show this ESSENTIAL kite safety information 👍

[@lenniemcmillian9451]

Best Kitesurfing Tutor on youtube hands down!!

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Doing my best) May be I don't release them too often)...Just trying to make them as good as I can!

[@o0oTEXASMADEo0o]

Thanks for posting this. I really wish they would teach this in lessons. I watched your video when learning a little over a year ago. I'm pretty sure this video saved my life twice. I was able to identify what was wrong and stop the loop. Thanks man keep up the good work!

[@vannibombonato4180]

Thanks buddy, this should be mandatory when learning, and then mandatory every 2 years. The killer scenario is when activating the chicken loop release does not do anything, that truly makes you panic. Learning how to survive that can be not only kite-saving, but more importantly life-saving.

[@antonchernyshov8759]

True! People just don't not what else to do, in case of QR failure! They just wait then. While they still have a chance to fix the situation pretty easily!

[@philmarch171]

Fantastic video! I always try to lean techniques that I would need in dangerous situations, even if I never encounter them. This is incredibly valuable knowledge. Another very good technique is how to handle a kite inversion while on the water. There is a way!

[@oscar200]

Thank you very much Anton for your hard work preparing these videos. I'll share here my death loop experience , which happened just yesterday. The wind stalled and consequently my Core XR3 10m falled into the water in the downwind direction. Then I began to try to relaunch the kite but I noticed that something was not ok. It took me a while to realize that one of the direction lines had entangled with the tip of the kite. A sudden gust of wind later, I was being dragged downwind as the kite started looping uncontrollably. So, despite having seen these two invaluable videos before, I entered in panic mode and committed two near fatal mistakes: first, I used the QR, which of course worked as there weren't any lines messing with the bar or QR system but left them out of my reach without stopping the death loop and second, I hesitated in using the leash as the wind blowed right into the beach with a lot of people, including little kids (WTF?) there. By the time releasing completely the kite was the only option, I was being wildly dragged downwind in and out of the water grasping for air and not being able to find the damm leash, which seems easy but under that circumstances it is not. Luckily, I was close the the shore, with onshore wind, and a very brave dude was nearby and stopped the kite with his hands and the kitemare ended. Other wind direction or further from the shore and that was the end of the story for me. Lessons learned: with a Core kite, death loops can continue after QR despite their BS claims that their safety systems are superior, and more important TRAIN IN YOUR HEAD AND IN REAL LIFE THESE SITUATIONS so you react correctly when needed the most. If I had pulled the correct direction line as in these videos, or released the kite without hesitation, I would have saved myself a really scary experience.

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Thanks for sharing your story! Do you remember, how exactly the line went over that tip? I was thinking about discussing this case also in the future. And also the leash topic, yeah probably a short video needed. Now they start producing very short leashes and even in the kite user manual (Core) they say to fix the leash right to the metal spreader bar of the harness, near the hook, so that the QR is always close to riders hands.

[@thomasbennett9155]

Anton both of these are excellent. What hurts most in a death loop is panic, either freezing up and getting dragged hard and disoriented, or just grabbing randomly at whatever line is closest. Having a set of simple methods to identify the correct "lever", and depower then stabilize the kite, is better than having 10 knives. And there's just enough in the videos to actually "self configure" both common death loop inducers (centerline cross and bar cross) and get some practice dealing with, neutralizing and correcting both.

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Yeah, that's the idea. To prevent guys from useless panic. They still have a lot of thing to try with completely failed QR, and a knife, forgotten at home)

[@biketwat825]

You should ask for some donations to pay for all those lines!!! Great informative video, thanks.

[@antonchernyshov8759]

I tried, but it didn't work( After 120K of Surviving the Deathloop video, I've got probably 5 people, who donated like 15-20 USD each. So, I've removed the banners. Hey, thanks for you comment) Glad, you appreciate my work!

[@CroLarus]

Yes, this is golden. More people have to see this.

[@htimst1967]

New snowkiter here. This is a brilliant video. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit and for the sacrifice of the line you accidentally cut. Cheers!

[@antonyck5141]

Thanks Anton....a must watch video for new kiters...

[@bennolad1]

That's a great video Anton lots of questions answered - THANKS!

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Oh, great, thanks. This second part is really not very popular though(

[@ev304]

Your video have saved my life I don't this I would have known what to do without this. Thank you

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Take care, bro! Hope you'll never need it again! Thanks for letting me know, that my work is useful. It saves my life as well sometimes.....

[@lightning9279]

Thanks for sacrificing your lines for us.👍 Great video.

[@gizzleshnizzle9834]

Amazing, super useful to know - I've been kiting for 4 years and still didn't know that, just assumed I'd have to let go of the whole lot! This makes way more sense

[@justcommenting4981]

Testing and showing what happens in all the whatifs. Great!

[@helipilot727]

Hey man this is GREATLY appreciated. Ive been kiting for a long time (since 2006), and had my share of death loops, but seeing exactly what happens in these circumstances instead of guessing at what would happen is extremely valuable. I've seen people take some ambulance rides due to being dragged backwards by suicide leashes during death loops. Sorry you accidentally cut the real line : | ouch

[@grigv.5205]

You are awesome dude! And a very brave man! Красава! Thanks for risking and sacrificing the equipment for us!

[@etiennedescombes9165]

I have never kytesurfed before but I find your video very interesting. I had always been kinda scared of this sport but you have made me want to try it !

[@delko-c6m]

Thank you so much for all this content ! I'm gonna get back to kitesurfing after +6 years (only got as far as a few waterstarts though), and knowing how to react in critical situation definitely make me more confident about the safety.

[@martianmuppet]

Thankyou very much matey for taking the time to show this. Very well explained.

[@normsbigwindow9379]

Thank you Anton....a really high quality bit of safety advice.

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Tahnks, hope you don't need it too often) take care

[@HolgerH1967]

Kudos for trying a deathloop in these conditions ;) Once I had a deathloop with a Core XR2 when one of the front lines snapped. Thank god I could release the safety then. The XR2 didn't react as nicely as the kite you tried it with - I was feeling like Flipper the dolphin, sometimes under water, sometimes above... Never happened since, thank god. So it can happen with certain kites. I guess the trim is important too.

[@maximlg253]

Оличное видео. Я пережил уже два таких случая, в одном я удерживал кайт пока он не уперся в набережную (сэфти не сработала после нескольких вращений), в другом - отпустил кайт совсем, потому как мой hydrofoil застрял среди тяг и все выглядело опасно. Если бы я только знал про этот трюк! Спасибо

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Ого, приличный стаж!) А про гидрофойл можно поподробней, что за тяги? Да, трюк помогает зачастую, единственное до чего руки не дошли, это проверить сколько нужно вращений кайта, чтобы и он не сработал. Конечно, после 6-7 проворотов можно спокойно это проделать, а вот дальше надо пробовать.

[@jankowalski2652]

Amazing, thanks for that! Especially with cutting the lines😮

[@Dmitriter]

Thanx Bro for outstanding video ! I never even heard about death loop malfunction after several beginner sessions in different countries . Thanx and hang loose !

[@kiterJ]

Fantastic educational video! Huge BALLS for doing that on the bandit!!! Looking forward to jumping episode 2, episode 1 was great!

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Yeah, man, that little 6 m was a tough one! He didn't like me much) Huge power when it loops) Thanks for your words about "Learning To FLy"! I'm cooking the Ep II in the way to be really exciting)

[@kiterJ]

+Anton Chernyshov :) :)

[@kiteboardingwithTom]

Much better second video, a must watch!

[@tofmoule7114]

Chears for your vidéos Anton. That's so useful to know.. THE thing they should learn when you get in a kiteschool! Great job in here!

[@tonyb8612]

Thanks Anton, for taking the time to make these type of well informed vids. You're the man dude....

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Still hope to make the world a bit better, man) Some more interesting and useful stuff on safety topic is yet to come! Stay tuned, bro!

[@cossackreverse603]

thanx i think knowing how to control and stall a kite is a better... faster option than cutting. thank you for the demonstrations

[@jief85l42]

I agree, it's definitely a great video. Thanks. I'm surprised you don't have more comment. I've a question : why it's a hook (where the bar can stuck) and not a closed ring ?

[@kniefi]

Thank you for your great Video on this topic! Also great you commit so mich to your videos, as in that you really get yourself into action and not just talk about it but show it to people - priceless to actually have video proof of the stuff you say/teach! I agree on not relying on one safety aspect completely, However I must say that I always wear my kite knife - eezycut from trilobite. Tried it several times and it cuts through up to 10mm climbing rope easily as through butter - so it might depend on which knife you actually buy. Also tried it with an old flysurfer depowerloop line. Rated for 500kg with an inner dyneema core rated for another 500kg. Cut through that thick rope like butter, even two loops of it and with some force also 4 times that thick rope!

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Thanks for your comment, really interesting. Well, I think, I had quite a good knife when filming, and well, yeah, it can probably cut a 4-5 mm dyneema, but when it comes to plastic covered ones... no way, I think. But the most important is that mess and action around you, when you caught by a deathloop. Probably you need a weekly kite knife drill, to get your instincts ready.

[@GPMcGee]

really great to see the line snapping demo! Thanks for sacrificing a set of lines for us all to learn :)

[@antonchernyshov8759]

) I've heard some guys saying, that it could initiate a deathloop and being pretty much concerned about it. So, just to keep them calm)

[@matr1tde]

Thank you very much man, i am grateful for your willingness to educate others and help make the sport safer for all through sharing of information and experiences.

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Hope to make the world a bit better)

[@gustavosessa4375]

congratulations man!!! very good video! wish I knew it earlier! will definitely share it.

[@Tavdog]

Very well made, and great sacrifice in cutting all those lines !! Are you making a learning to fly part 2 ?

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Hi! Thanks a lot! Yes, part II is in the making, was planning to complete it around end of November, but still filming more footage. So it's delayed. Will do my best to bring it online as fast as I can!

[@slavenbilich3585]

Спасибо, Антон. Благодаря твоему видео успешнл вышел из похожей ситуации.

[@sebastienjurkowski]

Man, thanks a lot for the efforts, cutting your lines just to show us what happens! Very instructive. I would donate if there was a way. I once went under my lines after landing straight downwind, the kite was behind me for a bit and lines getting all around me under and above me, then saw the kite slowly getting tension again. I realeased everything i could realese before it got fully tensioned again.

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Hey, thanks! It would be great if you tell about this vid in your kite forum or something as a donation to help promoting it a bit. Yes, getting wrapped with the lines is the question I'll cover someday in the video. It looks and feel terrible, but if you're not in a crazy rush and the kite is getting back into power slowly you can still fix it. Just choose one line among the others, the one you can tell which side of it is pointing towards the kite. Then you just start pulling that side of the line, several meters of it, so that the kite would create tension in this single line only, when it's blown down enough, so it won't tense all the lines around your body, but just one, that you're holding in your hand. It will make the full re-power impossible, the kite will stay hanging on one line, flagged, with no power. And you will be sure, that the line is not wrapped around your neck, since you'll be holding it in your hand. That's what I do myself, hope you'll never need it) Take care! Anton.

[@brougri]

@@antonchernyshov8759 hey thanks man for answering this comment that's smart and helpful I've always been scared this situation ever happens to me. And for the deathloop video thanks for your contribution to safety much appreciated

[@rorymorrice9192]

This video is fantastic. Had a pretty scary accident where one of my bridles snapped creating a death like loop - slightly more powerful than that shown when you cut your front line here. The effected bridle was the safety line so if I had chickened out I would have the same problem but now with the bar at the end of my leash. Your techniques saved my ass! Many thanks and happy riding!

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Hey, thanks for the story! I hear more and more of them from the viewers, but haven't had anything like this. I think I will post a small additional video about those cases, I was reported. Could you let me know, what is the kite and bar model you had your issue with. Glad, that my work was useful for you! Cheers, Anton.

[@rorymorrice9192]

Hey. It was an RRD Vision 10.5m on a 4-line 2014 Best bar. The bridle snapped where the pulley had been wearing away the bridle line and sent it into a death loop. It was the left bridle that was snapped that is connected to the safety line and so chickening out didn't help. Cheers for your reply. Think it would be the same for any other 4-line kite that has a safety line attached to a single front line.

[@martin87jonsson]

I had a similar experience on my Cabrinha Switchblade 12m 2013. One of the front lines snapped just at the bridle and I was dragged in a death loop over a km while trying to figure out what was wrong. The snapped line was wrapped up around my leg and my bar all over the place so I had no idea what the cause was. I tried to find out where the wrap was but the loose line really confused me and scared me since I was thinking that it might get tensioned suddenly and cut my leg or hands. After the kite hitting the surface and throwing itself front and back I could see the loose bridle with the help of a fellow kiter. I did not want to release though since I was scared that it was the rescue line that was cut. Only later did I learn that both front lines acts release on the Switchblade so it would have been safe to unleash. If I pulled a bit on any of the three remaining lines the power and tendency to spin only got worse but at the end what did the trick was relly committing to pulling one of the steering lines, so similar to what you teach in the videos. Thank you for the videos!

[@JulleHimself]

Thank you so much Anton for making these tutorials, they are life saving

[@frozonev]

ThAnk you so much for taking the time and recourses to demonstrate this !

[@federicogarcia5814]

Great job, bro! Keep it up. Your videos help a lot to have an idea of what to do in dangerous situations. I only had one experience with the death loop, but the kite touched the water by it self, so i didn't have to do anything. Good winds!

[@antonchernyshov8759]

God, make all those deathloops as self-resolving as the one you had) Take care, bro!

[@DisneySK]

Thanks for the great video, as a beginneer I have been in this situation several times. Where exactly in Philippines is this spot? I've been to Boracay last month but this seems also great

[@wernerherbst6858]

My kite (10 meter) went into a death loop and could not get it to to stop using your technique (18 knots) wind. I had to pull my chicken loop. Do you have any other techniques if this one falls...but thank you for sharing your experience with us have learned a lot.

[@Ivann8801]

thanks so much for putting so much work into this video. I'm sure it's not easy. Really appreciate the education and the sacrifice of some kite lines. :)

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Yeah, man, I felt so stupid with that line) And it was actually BEFORE I properly cut ONE of the lines for the video. I was pointing the knife upwards, that was the mistake) You're right, it was pretty challenging to film such a short video. First loops at around 40 knots were hard to perform)

[@francoiskaram]

Thank you Anton! Be safe!

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Thanks, man! Take care)

[@terrencestimson1784]

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Yep, unfortunately this part (part II) was not really popular for some reason!

[@erikiida]

Really great video! Shared with my local kiters!

[@Grze9898]

Thanks, you very brave doing this video.

[@danikala5237]

I had also a Deathloop as my lines tangled up as I did a lunch from a Lagoon from Holbox/Mexico. I noticed the lines are not good so I wanted to land my Kite and out of a sudden I felt so much pull, that I got pulled up 4 meters High and it pulled me 30meters across the sea next to the beach, there were even some rocks. I was unconcious for a minute. But then I pulled quickrelase and after a time my Kite got pushed down luckily. What should I do in Situations like this ?

[@PHNX0]

Takes some Cojones to do what you did here Anton. impressive stuff. Cheers

[@Kelvin555s]

Thanks a lot for the video. Was really helpful. I had a dead-loop experience last week. I haven't seen this video before. Things happened so quick, I was wondering all the time why safety didn't work. Now it explains. I jumped and my chicken loop came out of the hook. I didn't notice that but when saw my bar is far away in a dead loop and connected with my leash only. Was scary as I didn't understand what just happened. I can see if I had a short leash I could probably reach the bar. Is there any way to get out of it if you are on a long leash?

[@SeaSpiritAu]

Those two videos were excellent. Personally I haven't had this one happen to me, but have seen videos of it. What I have had happen a few times is a line going across the canopy (so pulling your steeing line in as well) this causes the same outcome, it would be great to extend your videos to include that. I would guess that your same technique of pulling other steering line to reverse land the kite would still work in this situation?

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Hi! Yeah, I had this idea on my mind. Though it's kinda hard to "simulate" this situation, especially in high wind conditions. I'll see what I can do.

[@adriantagart3677]

tres bonne video ! tres bonnes explications ! merci

[@antonchernyshov8759]

S'il vous plaît) My daughter studies French, but I still don't know much anyway)

[@jibouzzz]

Hello Anton, super important video I always recommend it to all my kiteboarding friends. Would you consider the possibility of letting users contribute translated subtitles? Most of my friends don't have the english level to fully understand everything you say so I would be really happy to contribute the French subtiltles for episodes I and II of surviving the deathloop.

[@simonjordan2523]

Superb vid mate well done your a star

[@hanssvenssn2516]

Thanks so much for making these Videos!

[@vlaaady]

This is exactly what happened to me: I transitioned too fast getting into unintended jump and on landing my kite started to loop. I did not see any entangled lines but maybe I was too stressed. Eventually I had to release it.

[@flaviosanguigni8783]

Great video. Thanks

[@MARCELLO6859]

Thank you for the lesson!

[@jhuncarandang6417]

Thank you Anton for taking time and effort on this. Your contribution to the kiting community is really highly appreciated. By the way, where in the Philippines had you took that video? seems a very nice spot. Im from Ph also BTW :) Keep up the good work, Cheers!

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Hey! Thanks for your words! It is Cuyo island, between Palawan and Panay island. The ferry goes from Ilo Ilo city from Panay, or a small plane from Puerto Princessa, Palawan. If you have a chance, visit that place, you won't regret.

[@alexeykoroteev2719]

Спасибо за видео! Очень полезно и наглядно!

[@владимиркуликов-ч1у]

Антон добрый день. Не давно у меня случился(смертельный луп). Тяга такая, что невозможно подтянуться к планке и ухватить рулевую стропу(ход планки большой). Была секунда когда кайт коснулся воды и я дотянулся до рулевой стропы, но с такой тягой вытянуть ее оказалось невозможно(что я только не делал). Выход один полный отстрел, со всеми последствиям

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Добрый день. Ну вопросов нет, если полный отстрел возможен, то надо не думая бросать тряпку. Просто если рулевая захлестнула за крюк, то он попросту невозможен. Однако при этом вся система управления близко и можно тягать любые стропы довольно легко. А что это была за модель кайта в Вашем случае?

[@владимиркуликов-ч1у]

Anton Chernyshov это griffin Argo, но планка от другого старого кайта. В общем они совместимы. Планка просто запуталась так что страховка не смогла вытянуться

[@kiterJ]

This video is excellent

[@uguryalcin5933]

Great video thanks for the effort

[@trexinvert]

How about this? If the bar end get's hooked into your harness and you start getting dragged. What if you lean back into a "feet first" drag position? Then the hook opens and bar comes out, and the kite depowers. That would work, right?

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Hey, didn't get the idea) I've never tried to body drag with feet in front. They are experiencing a lot of water resistance, is it ever possible to bring them in front of the body?) Well, it could work maybe, but the hook is rotating, since the belts are not rigid. It is always pointing with it top to the power source. That's why you don't get off the hook when doing a deadman trick. Hope I've got your idea right!) Thanks. Anton.

[@Manfred3047]

Awesome video ... thank u for that

[@willtschosch]

being a beginner and not sure if the problem resolved itself after the loops, i wanted to proceed with self rescue and wrapped up + secured the steering line on the bar. (.... 1-2 bar lenghts early as i noticed later). a gust came in, the until then stable kite flipped, the tangled line around the bridle on the other side freed up and the kite now looped the other way around. Without any chance to get to the bar now and somehow with the leash under or around the my hook, blocking the last millimiters needed to release completely. stupid as i tend to react in these situations i was really optimistic to be able to get out of my harness... i ended up cutting the rope at the beginning of the safety leash. would it make sense to flag the kite with the safety / one of the front lines instead once it's possible maybe?

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Hi! Sorry, I didn't get it right, maybe. You've flagged the kite using one of the steering lines, started to wrap em up and then the kite relaunched? But what actually happened from the beginning? The steering line wrapped around the hook? Or something else, what caused the loop? Yeah, for sure, using the safety line to flag the kite is still the best option. However it depends on how it was tangled, you probably may have some problems also wrapping the safety line, if it crosses-and-blocks with some other lines underwater. Anything possible with 24m of floating ropes! I think, it's really important, after the looping stops, to untangle the lines or any ropes from your body first and be ready to release it completely. Well...however you should always go through that procedure, if you fall and mess with the lines a bit...

[@JeromeLoman]

Thanks for video. My last deathloop it was bridle caught in wingtip. I remembered you video and tried to pull steering line but I pulled wrong one, kite was looping left and tried to pull left line and wasn't able to backstall it, later on I noticed that I should have pulled in right line instead. Pulling left was too hard with power. It had looped only once or twice I think. would I be able to back stall it from a bridle wingtip? Anyway I ended up releasing whole thing because quick release didn't flag kite.

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Hey, thanks for your question. Well, I think that pulling the "other" line will also work when you have a bridle twist. (By the way, what was the kite?) The idea should be the same. Your jammed line increases the angle of attack on one side on the canopy (left side in your case), so if you also increase the angle on the right side, the wing will go beyond the critical angle of attack, will lose the connection with the airflow and stall (lose the lift, in other words), like an airplane wing does. But, yeah, it doesn't jam your QR, so...) it's ok anyway. Well....may be I should film a bridle jamming case also?) Why not. A bit harder to simulate, though....

[@JeromeLoman]

+Anton Chernyshov it was 9m bandit. You can see video on my KZbin channel: "my first deathloop in 30 knots"

[@JeromeLoman]

+Anton Chernyshov "kitesurfing deathloop in OBX" is the video of my deathloop with bridle

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Yeah, quite a famous video, I've seen it! Well... Hard to say, you've released it soo quickly, man) I won't say, the you shouldn't have done it (otherwise, I'll get hurt a lot by safety fighters))) ), but I would play with lines a bit, if I were you...I haven't spot any obstacles in front of you, was pretty safe. But you did a good job. You've managed to clear the inside-out issue, right? Yeah, I see, the kite cheated you) The bar was looking like the white-side-of-the-bar line is shorter, but in fact, the other line was "shortened" by the bridle. It's a pity....I think you could handle it, if tried the other line...But, yeah...That was not the easiest case!

[@JeromeLoman]

+Anton Chernyshov next time I'll get it, it was good training ;)

hi Anton, today something happend to me and i ended up with a cuncosion and a fucked schoulder because the kite death looped, dragging me from the water onto the beach. once it stopped i looked at the bar and what i saw is the following. the power lines were somehow (under the safety) had twisted once around the bar. i had 2 questions, 1: how is this possible? 2: any advise on how to stop it?

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Hi, Milad! I haven't got it clear enough. Was it the main depower rope, or those thin lines, those located above the depower rope? What is the bar (manufacturer) that you had the issue with?

[@elfaransis]

Hi anton. It was the maindepower (best t3). However. The kite also was flipped inside out. (It was gusty wind, it had dropped and the kite was stalling wind picked up again, turning the kite inside out. So main depower was around the bar. And the steering lines around the power lines. Using the 2014 best T3.

Спасибо большое, Антон! Очень нужно и полезно. Как раз в межсезонье обсуждали подобные случаи. А можно ли попросить сделать для двух видео дорожку и на русском (как в видео с укладкой кайта), а то не все английский знают. а так мы бы и новичкам всем показывали.... =)

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Спасибо на добром слове!) Хорошо, в течение пары дней постараюсь записать дорожку и собрать ролики.

qmoroz учите терминологию, господа и дамы. Иначе вас только на родине поймут, а за бугром не сможете о любимом деле с разделяющим интерес человеком поговорить.

[@qmoroz]

Do you really wanna talk about it? I'd probably give a lot of professional interpreters a good run for their money. That doesn't mean that this video wouldn't be even more helpful as from my kite friends less than a half know English even in a basic level let alone special vocabulary.

[@grigv.5205]

qmoroz this is how you learn. learning the theory and proper technical vocabulary is just as important as practical part. This is communication. Might be very important in critical situations or when you need help.

[@qmoroz]

We are like speaking different languages. I'm talking about people who live in Russia and once again the least of them know English. Are you telling that in order to progress in kiting they need to spend good several years learning English even though they don't go abroad? As for me it would be easier just to share this video with my friends if it was in Russian. Wind conditions and busy traffic in our spot in SP don't allow to show this technique in the water. So I really don't understand why you are so willing to prove your point....

Today i saw a kiter dying by a kite loop. 45kn/ offshore wind. They tried to rescue him but it was to late. Location Fuerteventuras/ Pajara/ 10 july 2022

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Oh, man... Got it, I will have a look.

[@tobiaskrauss2911]

Nice Video!!!

[@skaniarbata]

great video!!! thank you!!!

[@jamesdean2704]

Is it easy to replace the ropes after you cut them?

[@antonchernyshov8759]

I kinda sewed in an extender to repair that cut)

[@6whiteshadows]

Does this technique work in every death loop situation?

[@antonchernyshov8759]

Hi! If the steering lines are not blocked completely for some reason and if you don't have other issues (thick gloves or something), it will help - from my experience.
