How to Trick, Freestyle Stunt Kiting
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ธ.ค. 2016
- This video was made for a friend but it got popular. I'm showing some of the basic tricks and exercises from different angels and on short lines (the kite looks bigger closer to the camera).
This is not a typical "How to" video. The idea here is show you the movements and to see how the kite reacts. If you practice stunt kiting alone it's better to record yourself, analyze your posture, reactions and movements. This will help you improve your technique.
Check my other How to and Tips videos on my channel.
Kite: HQ-Maestro II, upgraded & modified
Wind: 2-15km/h (mostly 4-5km/h)
Music: Miniman - Opus in dub minor (2006)

dude can i just say, holy shit, thanks alot :) this explains so much... especially the amount of forwards backwards movement of your body, i was doing it all wrong with the best intentions. i will be returning often to this vid, probably even on the field while practicing. like was said before, pure gold!
Thank you for the nice comment :)
this brought a smile to my face, keep on flying brother
You are the absolute best I have ever seen do this. I always want strong wind to zip around but the true beauty and grace is in the light wind! You are making this bird fly Mother Nature helps sometimes..goals, Thank you for this video!
Thank you for the feedback! Comments like this make me think it's worth to continue upload videos and share info.....
Six months ago this all seemed mysterious and magical to me. Now started the click and my own flying is improving greatly thanks to videos like this
Thank you!
The wife and I keep coming back to this video every few months. It's Is valuable resource.
nice clear separation of moves with repetition just what I need. Nice axle turns and floats.
backflips, lazy suzans etc. lots of stuff here. thanks for posting.
Tomorrow I go fling my kite and I will remember you're moves. This how to trick training is explaining a lot with no words. Many thanks for share!
Have fun! GoKiting!
Mesmerizing and educational. Thank you for sharing. You are truly gifted and skilled.
Outstanding! One of the very best instructional kiting videos I've seen. Really nice to watch and a great sound track. Also, a great perspective on the moves. Well done!
You make it look so easy, performing those amazing, advanced, magical stunts in light wind. I will attempt to mimic your moves and hope I have some success.
Good luck and have Fun!
pure gold. thank you!
I'm glad that you like it!
It’s been around 10 years since I’ve flown a stunt kite, and I just bought a new one, and I’m about to get back into it. 👍
Absolutes amazing…I am a Bit afraid of trying These Tricks,it Looks so adictive That I maybe cant stop Anymore once started.Great Video,love it
This was fantastic ,great bskill and control, inspired me to get out and have fun and improve skills .
Great song. Great flying
Thank you!
Yesss! the best!
Awsome! never knew there was so much to this, thanks for the video
They are 2 playlists with how-to/tips on my channel ;)
Nice Flying bro!
And an extra sick soundtrack
You’re good at this.
Thank you! Check the "how to" playlist. Actually, in many of my videos there is a small "how to" part. You can Subscribe, if you haven't already.... GoKiting!
I'm taking my fathers old kite (must be like 30 years old) out next week with my son. never seen this type of flying before this month...I was watching videos on how to repair bridle strings and saw a tutorial video on stunts.... (seems my dad wasn't that good with the kite)..I've now watched 8 hours of stunt videos and have to say that for some magical reason your video with no words or closeups describes it better than any other.
seeing body movement and hand speed work together and being able to see the kite in real time react to the pulls does the trick
ps. my fathers kite is a "Top of the Line" Hawaiian Team Kite. released in 1985 (in very good condition).
rare as heck so I'm kind of on the fence about trying tricks on this dinosaur she's very valuable to me and apparently the rest of the world (very rare now days)
so i may have to buy a prisim kite to learn these things.
I mean this thing is amazing. I was born in 1990 and I know he had it before I was born so it easily is 30-36 years old (he is not around to verify exact age for me because...life)
but this thing blows everyone's mind when I go to the popular kite field in Puerto Rico.
Thank you for the kind words. On my channel you can find 2 playlists with How-to's and Tips. Actually, on many of the latest videos there is "how to" part with real-time explanations. N-joy watching!
Top of the Line, wow! :)
Just keep in mind, it's a Team kite, not a modern/radical Freestyle kite. In general - Spend more time to polish basic stuffs before go for crazy tricks!....
One of my favorite Stunt Kiting videos. I am envious of this master!
What are the upgrades and modifications to the kite? Do you recomend buying the new Masetro III ?
Hi, I don't have notes about the measurements and already sold the kite. To be honest, I don't recommend you to get M3, the default settings are awful. If you can find M2 and modify it (search for Pimp by PAW) it will be better. The mod is relatively simple to make.
Simply fantastic, thanks for share.
I been flying prism kites, but I really don't like to much, what brand do you recommend for fly inland that I can find in US ?; I'm in Mexico, and here there's nothing... 😪 I really want to improve my skills, any help is appreciated, thank you.
Hi, I would recommend you

I haven't tried them but I think they are good kites!
Spend more time to learn well the basics (to fly nice), than freestyle... :)
You can check the other videos on my channel (How to Move).
Good luck! GoKiting!
Too dope, I'm mesmerized and inspired. Thx brother❣️Gotta find out what kite will work where I live. Sporadic and turbulent winds. But I just learned Abt ultralights??? Please keep this vid up. Brilliant teaching, plus jams. What could b better?
turbulent winds.... than go for bigger, more stable kite. Fly basic stuffs over and over again...
Very nice video.... best regards from Turkey
Thank you!
It's a fantastic feeling to fly a kite
You are the best🙂
Thank you! :)
So great man! Can anyone recommend a beginner kite that I can advance into with time?
On the market they are many Ready to fly kites with carbon frames up to ~150 euros. They can do tricks but this not necessary means it's everything easy to learn on them. If you get more balanced kite probably you will progress faster. Some "beginner kites" are just too difficult to trick and without someone to teach you it can take you years to understand some basics stuffs. Of course, if you are complete beginner get something around 50-100 euros (like Yakon II), learn straight lines, turns, stalls, landings and than... It depends on many factors: Where you gonna fly (beach or inland)? what style, avg wind speed, how much big kite, how much long lines,..,...
I have some used kites and prototypes which fly well, if you are interested...
@@gokitinggr Thanks so much for taking the time to answer. Great information and really helpful. Really excited about learning. Please keep in touch if you decide that you are going to part with some of your used kites. Keep flying.
@@todd92371 I can offer you HQ-Maestro 2, HQ-Zebra, HQ-Stratus, HQ-Yakon 2..... and kites made by me (New custom or Used) depending on your needs and personal taste. You can contact me: www.gokiting.gr/en/contact.html or Facebook: Kostaa Flykites
@@gokitinggr hello. Thanks for the great advice. What are the prices for the kites you mentioned? Happy flying
wow, this looks really soo professional. amazing. i just started to kite 2 weeks ago with the X-dream delta kite. and tried around to fly stalls and also the half axel.. but it was really kind of impossible.
what wind speed did you have approx at this session? it looks like not too much, was it?
-greeez and keep on flying ;)
PS: HOW did you "upgrade/modify your kite??? :D (if i'm supposed to ask )
Thank you for the kind words and welcome to the sport! Yes the wind is 2-15km/h (mostly 4-5km/h).
The X-dream is more of a Speed/Power stunt kite. Some tricks may be possible but it's not designed for Freestyle. Learn to control the speed in straight lines, make long horizontal and vertical lines. Watch my videos with Fazer XL and Little Arrow, they could help you to understand how these kites work. Good Luck! GoKiting!
on this kite I made the PAW's settings with upgraded Leading edges and connectors. Also, maybe lighter top spreader....
@@gokitinggr nice, thank you very much!!!
What length of your lines? thx
I can't remember exactly.... I think 25 & 17m (or 13). The sort lines are to see better the kite response on the video.. ;)
Where can I see these modifications for mine? I recently found a new one for 30 euros in my region and I would like to be able to modify it like yours :)
This one is based on Peter's (PAW mods) + lighter LE's, some connectors changed and fine tunes....
If you are lucky to have fond Maestro 2 make the PAW's settings.

@@gokitinggr yes I already have it at home, the truth is that it has been a very good purchase for the kite that it is, thanks kosta! I will try to contact him so that he can pass me the tuning guide :)
好厲害
What’s the ideal wind conditions to practice these moves???
In general, low wind. Some tricks are easier in very low wind, some others need more pressure in the sail. Practice tricks at ideal conditions first ;)
@@gokitinggr awesome. Thanks
Is it possible for you to make videos for beginner explaining each kite tricks ?
Thank you for the comment. I have a lot of footage from the last years which I want to share. I may add more "How to" videos, if more people are interested and even make an on-line course. It's funny, I just anwered to a similar comment on another video...
@@gokitinggr Yes it will be a really good idea to make "on line courses" for beginner, filming your kite, your hand and gesture, the name of the figure, with some passage in slow motion it will be very great for beginners as mee
What kite is it? Interested in buying that one or similar
Kite: HQ-Maestro II, upgraded & modified
It's all just a trick guys, you can clearly see he is using strings!
