  8. Reverse slide

    in Beginners

    Posted

    Hello everyone. Thanks to your advice and a lot of work, I finally made my first reverse slide. It is not perfect but here is 3 hours of work and it is there. I still lose altitude from time to time, which I corrected so early but I have the trick .... Thank you for your answer 😁😁😜

    Hello, if I was walking I was doing it subconsciously. Because for me I found it easier to apply the right tension while remaining fixed. I can do it very well in both directions, but adding a rotation of 180 in between. Impossible for me for the moment to do it without this rotation. But I think I'll practice on small slides instead of wanting to go through it all at once. 🤔 🤣 Little by little ... Thank you for your advice, which I take with pleasure😁

    Yeaaah thanks for these videos. Indeed nothing beats work, patience and more work. I know what I have to do now lol. As for the figures, where could I find some sort of list with explanatory diagram? I know what you are going to tell me in due course, but I discovered the reverse slide completely by chance, and this while working my rotations😂 See you soon sportingly Stef

    Thank you for this info. The window of ve t is more than respected because like that I have the necessary tension.

    Regarding my lines I have 45 kg for 25m long. My environment does not allow me any taller. I even wonder if shorter might not be better for me. 🤔

    The hardest thing for me is to start from left to right ... You will tell me normal, you are right-handed ....

    I will continue to work over and over again ..

    Thank you for your reply.

    Indeed the only secret is the practice.

    Reverse hover has been a success for me on both sides since this am. I may have found the secret😜

    I will take your advice and try the same thing over a short distance.

    I also practiced on the clock.

    High position OK left position OK, low position OK, and the drama approaches because when on the right the kite falls like a stone.

    If I do it the other way around same problem on the left ... it's pretty frustrating.

    Hello everyone. This am I tried reverse slide. I understood the principle very well on the one hand but impossible to do it on the other. Leading edge to the left I turn 180 degrees and let slip until I find myself in reverse. So here I am, leading edge down, sailing from left to right. Once I get to the right when I try the impossible return. The kite falls.

    If once I get to the right I turn 180 degrees again the reverse slide is OK for me.

    Could you explain to me why?

    Thank you
