Double Backroll Transition

How to

1. 1

   Approach at medium speed

   Ride with low to medium speed and edge hard upwind with the kite at 11 or 1 o'clock.

2. 2

   Send the kite across

   Send the kite up past 12 o'clock toward the new side as you take off.

3. 3

   First roll going up

   Turn a flat first backroll with your feet under you and finish it while you are still rising.

4. 4

   Throw the second

   Use that momentum to start the second roll early, throwing your head back and tucking your knees hard.

5. 5

   Dive and land

   During the second roll, dive the kite down in the new direction and land riding downwind.

Common mistakes

• Too much speed

  →Approach slower so you can stop your momentum and go the other way.

• Late second rotation

  →Start the second roll straight after the first, while you still feel the kite.

• Late kite dive

  →Dive the kite in the new direction during the second roll so it pulls you out the new way.
