Onze eigen Gijs Wassenaar laat POV style zien hoe Big Air eruit ziet in Zuid Afrika....
Op De Airush website staat een leuk artikel over de 10 meest gemaakte fouten bij kiters die Big Air willen gaan en hoe je ze kan voorkomen! Check de link onderin om ze alle 10 door te lezen;
MISTAKE 1 – RELYING ON THE KITE FOR LIFT
We often see new Big Air riders jump just because the kite is lifting them, although it is important to have a good pop technique. If you want to go higher one day, you need to learn what kind of pressure is needed for good pop, and how to not rely on just the lift of your kite.
MISTAKE 2 – STARTING THE JUMP TOO EARLY
If you start the jump without having edged hard enough, this makes you go forward instead of going up. A good way to practice correcting this is doing unhooked tricks with the kite low and popping over waves. This gives a similar feel to the pressure you need for good Big Air pop.
MISTAKE 3 – LOOPING TOO SOON
If you loop straight after your takeoff, the kite will give you immense pull, which will be very tricky to control as a looping beginner. The trick is to wait a little bit after takeoff, and then to pull your loop just before the highest point of your jump.
Once you improve and become more advanced, you can start looping earlier to get more power!
