Nice breakdown of tricks Steven…very helpful

Legend!

Great video mate!!!

Sick video bro!!!!! Jew them comming. Learned allot from the heli loop clips. Going to play with that more

Very nicely explained video

Awesome, really enjoyed this one. Thank you!!

Rotations mid-air are mostly a matter of angular momentum. If you want a visual representation, look up "Slow Motion Flipping Cat" but the explanation is: You start with a large moment of inertia, react against that, and then reduce your moment of inertia to spin quickly, increasing it again when you are done with the rotation. We do have a stable force vector from the kite, and we can contort our body so that it provides a torque around our rotation axis, but you don't need it, and even if you rely on it, you need to manage angular momentum to place yourself in the right orientation for the line tension to spin you.

Immer Top und super Analyse

Love the new format!! Definitely enjoyed it a lot 🙌🏼

Steven Akkersdijk number one!!!This is a GREAT idea!!!more of these pls!!!

best videos in the game

This video is perfect and well timed! Thanks for all your efforts Steven

Thanks Steven, great video!

Thanks man 🎉 Good quality work

Steven, Love the analysis. Great perspective.

Great video, thx! But Heliloop is heliloop, not a downloop. Can be forward or backward. Maybe one can say there is a kiteloop (backhand), downloop (front hand), Megaloop (high kiteloop backhand) and Contraloop (high downloop fronthand)

03:03 following this definiton some "double loops" you see are not actually two kiteloops because the second one is initiated after the apex of the jump. I really like this definition because some people tend to call everything "double loop" where the kite goes around twice. And I also saw in competitions that the rider was letting the kite fly a little towards 12 before pulling the second loop which looks boring compared to a real double loop down in the power zone.

Steven, Love the content. Always look forward to your vids

Would love a tutorial on doing a late rotation on the way down. I have not been able to find one. Thanks for the great vid and footage.

Super nice video, taking it to the next level with reviewing the technical details 👍🏽👍🏽

As usual, pretty interesting to watch and listen. A very good way to confront our point of view with yours so as to see if we understand situations the same way. Thanks !

Good job Steven! I love the analysis.

Nice , thats a great break down , well thought through criteria and great analysis 🤙

Awesome format. Getting the insights is top

Very interesting ! Thanks

Brilliant content bro - thank you. I can only pull those tricks in my dreams / nightmares 🙂. I like the analysis and can apply to just a standard jump. Thank you!

Well done Steven - so much to learn from - just need to get back on the water sometime soon🌊☀️😊

Great video ! More of Angely, especially when she laughs 😃

I like this kind of explaining videos. Your way of explaining the technical background including aerodynamics is great. Keep up the great work. Respect to your ground spiral 😉 I do paragliding for more than 20 years, do SAT etc., but never dare the death spiral.

The best!

Amazing knowledge and videography bruuuu 🔥🔥🔥

Cool video, Steven! Could you maybe explain how to do a backroll/frontroll when already having a decent hight. Basically is it possible to do a 'late" roll without a kiteloop in the air?

Per usual, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. You're an excellent communicator!

The type of content everyone is waiting for 👀

I LIKE IT ;)

great content as usual, they make it looks so easy though....during a jump, do you look more at your kite or downwind? the timing on the heli loops is more out of feeling of the kite or because you watch its position? when I jump over 8-9 meters I totally lose track of the kite cause I freak out watching down XD - thank you

Danke

Sent jump ONE footer tips please!

Thanks for your video! I would like that you make a video specific about the heliloops for jumps without kiteloop. In my case, when I jump more than 10 meters but less than 15, i feel that i need it. But I like to land in the same direccion and same foot beheind as jumping. So, I have the feeling that pulling the front hand heliloop is not good idea. Sometimes and step by step, I try to move first the kite to the other side of the jump and then the heliloop with the back hand. Problem? Scares me a bit the feeling of moving foward the kite ajajajaajaj specially if I think that I will not have enough time for a soft landing. Probably with experience and good advices can I progress. I hope I have explained good my feelings. And could be great to recive your advice. Thanks!!

Teach us late backroll kiteloop please

Isn't it Luca at 6:30? Just want to be sure ✌

Should you let out the bar abit when helilooping when I do it I get a loud whooshing sound not sure if it helps or makes it worse

Great knowledge sharing like always. Your name is missing in "iksurfmag best vlogger of 2022" but you have my vote anyway
