Learning tricks

Postby kitesur4 » Fri Sep 14, 2007 1:38 am

Does anyone know of a good resource for learning tricks? I mean from the basics on up.
I'm kinda tired of the exteme DVD with overly loud rage music. I'd rather see something like the book "Tricktionary, The ultimate windsurfing bible", but for kites.
Everyone learns differently, might be just me, but I like to see someting broken down.
Good winds.....Doug

\check out http://kitefilm.com/eng/index.asp for free clips, and maybe the progression series for tricks...

If you want to learn the tricks step by step and not just watch pros say "here's the bla bla bla" with no explanation, then hit the Fat Sand "Progression" series, lots of great instruction all the way to kiteloops & handlepasses. Plenty of breakdown, if you can't do it after watching the video, then you left out something they told you to do.

They even have a downloadable rental, so if you don't want to shell out the DVD then for $4 you can watch it for a week.
