In addition, it gives you a feeling of pure enthusiasm and confidence.<\/strong> <strong>The IBS team has defined &#8220;3 rules&#8221; you can follow. Just see below!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"heading heading--epsilon heading--uppercase type--semibold\"><strong>1. WHAT YOU NEED IS A BIGGER KITE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First of all, for jumping high into the sky you need a bigger kite than you would take without thinking of high jumps! <\/p>\n<p class=\"heading heading--epsilon heading--uppercase type--semibold\"><strong>2. WHAT YOU NEED IS SPEED<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most essential thing you need for jumping\u00a0high is speed. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">But please be careful:<\/span> you shouldn&#8217;t lose control over your board when getting too much speed. <\/p>\n<p class=\"heading heading--epsilon heading--uppercase type--semibold\"><strong>3.\u00a0WHAT YOU NEED IS\u00a0POP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re going out and practice in waves you can use them as a kicker. But if you practice in flat water conditions you need to load your heels strongly for getting boost. Then it is very important to keep your speed and send your kite to 11 o&#8217;clock when pulling the bar towards your body. After that,\u00a0you really need to fly your kite, otherwise you&#8217;re falling down! Keep the kite above you, take the weight into your lifting gear and be aware of how high you are. <strong>NICE TO KNOW:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It sounds obvious, but it is very important that you\u00a0learn to control your kite\u00a0when you&#8217;re up in the air! If you&#8217;re aware of balance and control you&#8217;re able to add tweaks and grabs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Source of Header: pixabay<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>You might also like<\/h4>\n[custom-facebook-feed]\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inspiredbysports.com\/en\/action-sports\/\">Benedikt Langer<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">STATEMENT<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are aware of all these steps and tips, your high jump is going to be huge!<\/p>\n<h4>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to do a trick &#8211; a high jump is the basis.
