Trick List

Hey Everyone,

I have been kiting for about a year and a half and recently started to try to find some new tricks. I don't really know what to do, so a lot of the time I feel like I just go up and spin till I either land or crash. LOL. I am very comfortable jumping, going up wind, relaunching, blah, blah... The only real tricks I know are back rolls in both directions, pop to toeside and learning front rolls. I really want to find a list or some sort of tricks I should try in order since there are some very difficult and some not as difficult. If you have any suggestions, that would be great.

Thanks.

from easy to difficult somewhat in order go upwind, jump, ride toeside, backroll, front roll, grabs of all kinds, one footer, railey, front and back rolls to blind hooked in, pop to blind, surface handlepass, surface kiteloop, hooked in low kiteloop with back and frontrolls, complete board off, land to blind or wrapped and handle pass, dark slide, dangle pass, blind judge, jesus walk, air handle passes like kgb, slim chance, front back mobes

I'm not listing megaloops because that is not really technical but learning how not to get hurt on it.

don't get stuck on any particular trick, if you are having problems try something new

Doing grabs is fun for all levels and looks good with every trick.

Thank you very much everyone. I think there might be other people out there that are in the same situation as I am, so I think I might try to make a list and find some where to post it for others to begin.

EDT,
That is exactly what I am looking for. I will start with that list and hopefully. I am already half way through the list, but think the second half is much more difficult. LOL.

Toby,
I have yet to hook in, but I think I am ready to start trying to, probably start with a railey.

Also, does anyone know if Progression DVD's are anygood. I don't really know where to learn and the beaches I ride, most of the people don't really do many tricks.(Boca Raton, FL)

Ongoing list easy to difficult;

go upwind
jump
ride toeside
backroll
front roll
grabs of all kinds
one footer
railey
front and back rolls to blind hooked in
pop to blind, surface handlepass
surface kiteloop
hooked in low kiteloop with back and frontrolls
complete board off
land to blind or wrapped and handle pass
dark slide
dangle pass
blind judge
jesus walk
air handle passes like kgb
slim chance
front back mobes

I was just wondering, because you posted in the wakestyle forum...

Will move it to kitesurf instead, since your list contains hooked and unhooked tricks.

It's called a RALEY you toolbox. Give some respect. The guy that invented the trick (Chet Raley) practically lives in your backyard! You also can't land " to wrapped" unless you're a kooky kiter.
