THE SPASM

I Used a 15m g2 on an airush bar. Worked ok but stalled alot. Not sure if that was just due to the kite. The safety was in the wrong place mind so i wouldnt advise it

Any1?

I have a storm 18.5m for sale. Kite only. Great for low wind days. lots of float. Im not sure how much its worth so make me offers.

Sounds fair enough. What are spinning spreader bars like? do they work?

Im just starting to do rotations. what can i do/buy to stop my leash twisting round my depower rope? I currently have it hooked into my spreader bar. Im using a waroo bar

Yea. think its all cleared up now. There were a lot of rantings! insane in the membrane.

I know. I only went a month back an im still scared about goin back. Think il wait till i can afford a helmet and rashy. 70 sheets are better spent elsewhere. come on blackpool!

So just to check. noone releases the bar at any point whilst in the air? Dont know why i do. Feel like im swinging round the kite too much.

OK. Ive been pulling jumps for a while. Started doing grabs and trying rotations. but I dont feel like my jumping technique is right. I always come down real hard. What i am not sure about is when to release the bar. at the mo I pull the bar in hard at 12 o clock. then when i start to decend I pull the kite back again. At this point I always seem to releace the bar and then pull in again just before i hit the sea. Should I have the bar pulled fully in all the time whilst i am in the air?

Cheers all. Just been out. grabs are fine now. and today ive managed to do a few back 360's. Only a foot off the water though. That the best way to learn? How do transitions work? cant figure it out. currently i either flip toeside and carve out or slide. dont know how to jump at the end of a run then go back the other way. any suggestions?

That was easy! cant believe ive been messing about with 2 fingers either side of the rope. Ok whats the next one after grabs? backloop?

Ha. My appologies muppetdude
