How to do MASSIVE Backroll Hand Drags and STOP Crashing them! I've met a lot of people who can do a small backroll hand drag in light wind, but as soon as the wind gets stronger, their technique is flawed and they crash SUPER HARD! Having been there myself and figured out what it takes to do longer drags and do them in strong wind, I decided to make a tutorial sharing my key points!

Amazing job Mike. And the videos at the end.. one of the first time I see so many in a tuto. For the intro, I think I prefer the old one.. but glad you kept the music at the end 😉

I think it very nice you put down the clips from every body in. So you can see in every situation end explain how we can do it better. Very nice video.

Passing this around. Will help at the local spot! What happens to me in high wind is when I pull too early it flings me hard to the kite Slack line and kite inverts. pull later Is key for me as it’s the best feeling when nailing it and there are consequences if pull early.

Mike you are totally killing it with these vids, great work my man! Looking forward to the boogiloop vid, maybe you can help me land that one more often. Cheers from the Dutch Caribbean!
