    Thanks, this happened to me once and i am a beginner. I walked lines out again, but now that i know this i do not have to do that anymore !! Thanks so much!
  • @as_the_dodo_do
    Mike you are a GURU and an ASSET to the community! Keep styling brother
  • @oliknowles7645
    The amount of times i do this to my lines while setting up is distressing. THanks for showing a way for me to fix it quickly
  • @RalphMelis
    Have had this happen to me while out on the water a lot of times, very frustrating. Obviously both the back lines are twisted then so now I know I need to tackle it 1 by 1. Thanks
  • That twisting the bar trick is what my life was missing. Arohanui from NZ
  • @giorgio4660
    Wow great tutorial Mike, it seems so much harder to fix back lines inside the front ones with a core bar compared to my north with a low V 😜❤
  • @lego720
    This video isn’t right. On low v, no problem doing bar magic. High v, easier to rerun 2 outside lines than screwing around having someone hold your kite forever for you.
  • @stokakrishna
    prefer low V bars. so much easier to manage than Y bars. great tutorial. however try doing it in 40 knots
  • @AdMAN2008
    i did that many times, lost my kite doing it in the water once, obviously no one holding kite so lost it! Was holding chicken loop and it was ripped out my hand, swam my ass off and caught the bar thank god. Lesson dont try in water with loads of power. Rather go in and if you have a friend yah if not just run the lines again. Same session staight after i sorted that mess out my kite bud broke his fib doing a double backroll 😩😩 I got him to hospital but it was a super shit session with amazing wind! One of those after work rushed missions.
  • @peteribs5643
    don't see your method if 2 back lines are inverted with 2 front lines (2 backs lines), Am I right ?
  • @turntup4906
    Can I do this if I don't have someone holding the kite ?
  • @benclammer945
    Thanks Mike. Any tips for how to handle is on the water?
  • @GaetanoCrisci
    absolutely great, thank you Mike! and what about if I'm in the sea with kite in the water? I believe I can't unhook and do this right?
  • UMMmm ~ Could you be a little more EPIC !?! Asking for a friend lol
