These jumps with a double pull up from the kite are incredible, never seen them anywhere else. Probably only possible with foil kite. It opens a lot of new trick possibilities, but it is probably not easy to anticipate the effect! I admire how fast and easily your feet go back in the footstraps, key to success. A real source of inspiration 😊
Thank you, yes for me it's definitely something I could never give up. Foil kites add so much more training options for any level rider and should be available for everyone that wants to progress.
Yep 100% agree. Tom Herbert's 'Tom's Kitchen' series were a great example of style over technically difficult tricks. For me that's why I can never fully appreciate wakestyle, it's so technical to the point that it looks robotic. Keep it stylish 😁
Nice Footage. I like your "handwork" on the bar. How fast they go from the inside to the outside of the bar & depower inbetween your jumps. This kite likes you, too😀
You've got super sick unique skills.. It's like magic. Cranking loops while spinning like a top would be disaster for any other rider, haha. Amazing kite control when it looks like kaos. 👌
What you do is amazing. I wish I could see your kite. I’d like to learn from you. Maybe a split screen? That shows what your kite is doing. But incredible. Keep on doing, Jamie!!
Thanks, I hear you but my main focus is on the tricks. I know a lot of people would like to see the kite movement also but it will not help in copying what I do, there's years of training involved that got me to this level of control and you'll have to put in the hours and get one with the kite.😉🤙
Thanks, it will always be personal preference what people like more. I like to do both but for proper kite loops you need 30+ knots wind and we don't get a lot of that in the Netherlands. This is a perfect way to make good use of the majority of days with less wind not suitable for kite loops
How high do you need to be to heliloop that 15m and/or how do you make sure it loops above of you? At what moment in the jump do you slightly depower the bar and what is the sweetspot on the amount? Thanks and great stuff!
Hard to explain it's for me more like a reflex, exactly feeling the feedback the kite gives me. It's the result of trail and error and years of riding and training on foilkites.
Doesn't matter, it's all about technique/take off and feeling the kite response. Most important is getting the kite above you instead of in front of you.
I really don't know bro. I don't know your skill level or experience with ram air kites. I probably would ride a 15 in these conditions in the low end and from 20 knots on size 10. 15 on a 62 cm race bar and 10 on a 55 cm race bar. If you want to do tricks like me you will first need a lot of practice.
@@janoshconte7719 it's a race kite that's why it works best with a race bar and yes when riding overpowered you definitely will need that much depower when the ding upwind.
@@sejalipe thanx for your time bro;) Why do you choose the race kite when there is a Chrono mad for bigair? Do you have even more loft or why do you prefer this kite for this kind of style?
Ok, you've got skills for sure and you've proven many times you can perform loops on the highest level... BUT I dont understand why young riders think this type of riding counts as big air and more over is cool in any way. This is 100% airstyle and what Toby Brauer was pushing years ago. At that time it was also the most laughed at and hidious style of riding you could choose. I don't think it's stylish, I would say it's random and it has more common with circus tricks rather than a proper boardsport that kiteboarding should be. Again how come this is supposed to be cool in 2024 when 10 years ago Toby's airstyle was the biggest joke???
no comment on your comment...you are one of a hundred...and yes it is cool also in 2024! Almost all people are absolutely stoked to watch this and I love it!
Think outside the box bro this is training for the high technicality of big air. Current big air is nothing else than a mix of airstyle and added kite loops. Like it or not it's an essential part of training.
@@sejalipe true point. Multiple rotations, board offs need to be trained somehow and this is the most effective way, I get it. However it's a bit alarming that competition bigair is slowly turning into hardcore airstyle and adding all the nonsense (I mean how many tictacs or board flips you really need in a megaloop?) rather than just improving the qaulity and extremity of the loop. If S-loops and dbl loops will win 2024 KotA that's all good but if you will have to add a stupid boardflip to every loop just to qualify for the final that sounds like a bad joke.
@@truekejner to some point I agree, but let me explain how it works. Riders follow the trend and perform what the judges want to see and what scores. It's all about how you make it look, low kite angle, 20+ meters and showing extreme control and technical ability gets my respect any day.
This comment made me laugh. I too think Toby looked a bit ridiculous but mainly because of the ballerina-like act with the pointy toes, coming from a big man and not because of the tricks themselves. It looks awesome! As long as we dont go full ballerina mode 😂
As a rider who can't get any pop from toeside and can't even ride blind, I can't even begin to fathom how hard it must be getting that amount of pop from blind. 👍🏻🦿🦿
