One year into kiting I was sending boogies- learning through crashing mostly. Four years later I’m scared of sending it despite being a much better kiter.

Here’s why➡️

Yes I can land baby boogies 1-2m high but gaining height… everything falls apart.

I’d take at least one bad crash each session, but kept pushing, thinking one day I’ll get it. Then a (boogie unrelated) injury occurred and I had to be much more careful. No hard crashes allowed anymore.

So I stripped back the move ➡️ what was the fail point? The height.

Why pull the loop when I’d never even tried doing a high inverted front roll?!

I was so shocked, for someone who breaks everything down into smaller chunks, I had missed this?!

I did this until I was bored of it, gained time to ‘think’ and relax during the trick, and very soon after the loop became easy! Still scary but landing 90%

Precision always pays off in the long run💪

And always question “what is the weak link?” And “how can I break it down?”
