The S-Bend - Tricks of the Trade with Tom Court

- So I had a few requests for the S-bend over the last few weeks. Cant even remember the last time I did one of these, definitely didn't have one on film so I went out for my first session after #lockdown here in the UK and put a couple down for the camera so I could talk you through it. Its not the best example of technique, however here are some tips that will help you get started on it. The kite position is important, but to start with just make sure you have enough height so that you can make it round and get a feeling for the s-bend rotation...

Hi Tom, great tutorial(s). Can you do a tutorial of the F16 (a styled unhooked backrol kiteloop). Thanks 👍🏻
hi mate, haven't done one of those in years! Yes will get one done for ya! ✌️
@@tomcourtkite yes please ! :)
Hell yeah, go for it 🔥🎉
Good vid Tom! - I always thought the S stood for Shannon , Shannon Best. He was the first doing them behind the boat in early wakeboard days.
I mean, could be that! Ill ask him next time I see him ;)
I thought the same
Thanks for the vid!
If you doing some "... to blind" Video, can you also focus on whats to do after landing blind?! I land most of my Raley2blinds and back2blinds easily but mess it up after cause my kite directly starts to loop.
unhooked? I guess so... yes its about hand placement and timing... also making sure you land 'down wind' enough so as not to tension the lines to quick! Will make one
@@tomcourtkite yes, unhooked. I think my problem is, that I grab the Bar by the surfacepass to far on the outside.
This one looks like an unhooked frontroll. I usually make it from raley, with small delay before rotation. I'm sure you know how to do it right, but this one not the best example in my opinion.. Btw like your videos, cheers)
its different every time, post a video of yours!! ;)
@@tomcourtkite I'm not good as you in making tutorial videos)
@@likesyngates ;)
Before I comment just want to say I highly admire your riding style. On that note I just want to say this is more of a front roll. With the sbend, the front knee should come up and the upper body spins before the legs giving the “s bend look”. I think this has to do with your head position. The head should sniff the armpit rather than kick back. Your sbend looks like you almost stall out because your head is going back. Cheers brah, keep crushing it🤙🏼
yes it is not a perfect example for sure! First session back after lockdown tho... I will get a proper one off a kicker on film soon! ;)
This looks so cool.. I "kill" all the power in my kite after unhooking and going for a railey.. Any ideas bro... cheers.
It might be because you kite is over sheeting, try de-powering the kite before unhooking.
What kite is it??
@@tomcourtkite Airush union. Thank you!
And yep, back lines shrunk. Kick arse now... Thanks champ!
@@707rudo yes mate, lines shrink and not stretch… so always worth checking ;)
How to do A blind Judge and backside 313?
OK, will get those done!! Need a bit more wind first ;) Maybe today :)
Oops I left a weird bit at the end
Muy bueno
gracias
