Awesome video! a few keywords make such a major difference: popping is about the legs "pushing hard on the back leg while riding upwind". Been trying to unlock preload pop and got stuck because wasn't keeping low enough and then not really pushing on the back leg while going upwind too at the same time. Such golden words Mike thanks!
Mike, awesome, thanks a lot. Always so great to watch your riding style. Maybe see ya in one of your clinics in marocco. Was in Essaouira last year and the first 3-5 waves out there where really challenging. I started on a day training there where the apps reported a shorebreak of 2,7 meters hight. It was awesome ;) I had to learn verrrrry fast to get through this line of death ;) Riding back to the shore was like watching a truck hitting the ground. Very spooky and days I will never forget. Stay safe & happy to see more of your great tutorials! BR from Munich Daniel
Hahahaha, great content and love the tongue in cheek tone. I thought you were going to sell energy crystals for a minute at the beginning 😋 Looking forward to the jumping higher one. Can you include a section on how to jump high in 15kts? 😋😂 Not everyone lives in Cape Town.
Thanks mate! Great video! A question I have which has been answered by two really good riders with opposing views is. When riding towards your jump, should your kite be low to water (provides max edging) and then yank it up to 12 to go really big. Or do you keep it at 45° and just get better timing with the pop?
Good question Garrick! Based on my countless hours testing this: You definitely don't want it too low to the water, or the kite will pull you off your edge at a suboptimal point (before the kite has managed to get above you). So I recommend riding with the kite between 35 and 40 degrees - still allowing you to have decent edging and good timing.
@@gethighwithmike thanks Mike! I'll be sure to give it a go next session. Your advice helped heaps in the waves today - I've started pulling jumps off smaller waves and it really does make a difference 👍
Mike and Anton, love the videos and have definitely improved jumping and other tricks with your videos. Well explained... My question is related to jumping. My current best is 43 feet and want to push 50 feet by end of this summer. I am 6' 3" and weigh 230 lbs. Am I pushing the limits of how high I can really jump because of my weight? I know I'm getting good speed and edging hard. I keep pushing myself to go faster and edge harder to gain as much tension and timing. I am improving because I do get more 30'+ jumps in a session, but maybe my 43 feet is just the acceptable best given my frame size. Looking forward to your response.
Watch Anton's Video! 👀 th-cam.com/video/1_HRI6IMTtw/w-d-xo.html
Whow! With Anton, the grandmaster of kiteboarding... Kudos to him!!! And to you Mike
I like that you want to add value with your video and thus also work with other kiters or TH-camrs! great video!
I appreciate that Marius!
There are no good videos on how improving hang time, if there are any secrets there, you are the man to kill it with that progression video 🤙🤟
The secret is to get a foil kite! Sonic 4 12m specifically and go to the spit in NZ and be Hugo Wigglesworth haha
Nice job, I was always saying, that you are super-talented!!!
Thanks bro!

Beautiful video, the only one that explains the targeted and essential content. Thank you
Hey Mike - love your technique videos ! Keep the energy flowing and take care of yourself , YEEEEYEW !!
Hey Bruuuu! Videos are getting just better and better! 👊👊👊👊
Thanks brother! Largely thanks to Michal 'The Board Off' Jagniatkowski!
Just love your professionalism and look forward to future training in super Big Air.
Great Video ! are you going to be at Brazil this year? Where? Nos vemos !!

Hahaha okay sure, how to jump high in 15 knots will be included just for you 😂 thanks for always watching!
It looks like you are boosting well before the kite gets to twelve. Is that what I should be looking to do?
Yeah I'd say the sweetspot for liftoff is around 10/11, with the kite approaching 12 super fast. The faster it moves the more it lifts ⚡
You are the man, definitely interested in your Brazil clinic 🤙
Yewww thanks Scott! Hopefully Brazil opens their doors to us 😛
Super nice edit ! Very cool to see you so hyped :)
Well Done top shelf
Awesome. Bad luck the poor rider footage is me, but hey you fixed it. I’m killing it now like a legend.
You sure are killing it now! ;)
Great video, those tips will help a lot! Thanks Mike. Now need some wind :-)
