HOW TO: NO GRAB BACK ROLL
If your having trouble figuring out the front roll
then it may be worth trying to learn a back roll
first. For most people it seems like one or the
other will be easier at first and for me I actually
figured out the back roll first.
Although its not completely necessary if you
have a bit of a freestyle background, it will make
this trick easier. Ideally you want to know how to
do a back roll with straps and have some understanding
of the basic rotations at least. Although
the rotation is different, the more freestyle skills
you have, the easier this will be. By now you want
be pretty comfortable with some basic strapless
tricks and have a good understanding of how to
pop without using the kite too much for help.
This is another trick where strong wind is better.
The more wind there is, the easier it will be
to keep the board stuck to your feet as long as
you keep the bottom of the board constantly
