THIS DOUBLE BACKROLL TECHNIQUE FEATURE CAN BE READ IN FULL IN KITEWORLD #111, OUR NEW FREE DIGITAL PLATFORM, PUBLISHED IN JULY 2021
The double backroll is an accessible and rewarding trick if you can already do a single backroll and perform jumps with control
The first trick that most kiters learn is the backroll as it is a very natural rotation from the take-off. It is not uncommon to over rotate your early backroll attempts, spinning you into a second backroll as you lose control. There is however a method to the madness that makes this trick more do-able and a great addition to your trick arsenal.
Where the double backroll initially differs from the single backroll is in the take-off. The take-off for a single backroll is more of a pop, whereas for the double backroll you need to send the kite up to gain some height and make the second rotation possible.
For this reason a big factor for success is good kite control.
