 Mon Jun 29, 2009 7:37 pm Looking for advice on riding blind |
 |
|
I have searched for past posts but could not find any info or helps for riding blind.
Does anyone have any pointers on this. I am fairly new to the sport (started last sept) but have began doing small air kite loops and downlooping air transititons so I dont think this should an impossible next step. Seemed to help to take the kite up to 11 and then switch to blind and then lower the kite and dig in (although then I messed up and dumped the kite in the river ripping my kite and bladder). |

| Start riding toe-side, your body position while riding blind is the same except you're riding in the opposite direction. |

| ask Geno, he is the riding blind master. I kind of suck at it. Well, not kind of, I do suck at it. Try loosening your harness a little so it can rotate to the side of your hip |

| thanks for the tips, as for toe side I have been doing that since early on and now starting to land jumps toeside, I will try loosing harness next time and not jumping; I thought I might have to ride unhooked but that is a better idea since I have not even attempted unhooked yet. Also why would anyone want to do anything but mow the lawn? well because thats fun for about 15min. |
