GENERAL:

TIP: Backside handlepass Rotation is when you pass the bar from your front hand to your back hand.

Blind
The rider does not pass the bar so they land with the bar behind their back with their back facing the kite
Referred to like a "Tantrum to Blind", or "Front Flip to Blind"
Sometimes backside spins are mistakenly referred to as "blind" spins

To bone out a grab or bone out your leg means you straighten it all the way out
So I "boned out grab" is one where your leg or legs are straightened out while grabbing.

Tailbone
Bring front of board to your body by bending front leg & extending back leg

Kiteloop
When the rider loops the the kite while in the air.

Downloop
When the rider loops the kite down while riding and pops out of the water when the kite is passing the powerzone.

Flip (F)
The term can be interchanged with "Invert", but in kiteboarding a Flip is usually a term used to define a tip over tail upside down rotation. There are a few exceptions though.

Frontside Spin
A frontside rotation is where the rider rotates with the front of their body towards the kite first.

TIP: Frontside Handlepass Rotation is when you pass the bar from your back hand to your front hand.

Goofy Foot

One Foot
When the rider takes one foot out of is board, extend the leg in one direction and put the foot back in.

Board Off
When the rider take de board out of his feet, and put the feet back in the board.

Grab
While in the air, if the rider reaches down to the board and clasps their hand on it, it's a "Grab". There are lots of different types of grabs that can be done alone or added to other tricks.

Handle Pass
It's usually only used to referred to when the rider passes the bar behind their back.
We are calling handlepasses to all the “mobes” performed with the kite higher then 45º

Invert
When the rider goes upside down while in the air, it's called an Invert.

Mobe or Mobius
An invert that also contains at least a 360 degree spin in it.
We are only calling mobes when you have the kite at 45º or lower.

Off-Axis Spin
When a rider does a spin but goes off the vertical axis so the board usually gets up to shoulder level or above.

Progressive Edge
A progressive edge is when the rider builds the edge on approaching the jump so that the hardest edge is right before sending the kite.

A Roll To Revert is a Back Roll with a 180 causing the rider to land backwards, or Revert.

Roll
An invert where the board travels in an edge over edge rotation. However, some tricks that follow that rotation aren't called Rolls, and a Back Roll has a tip over tail rotation, so it's very confusing.

A spin is when the rider and board rotate around on a vertical axis.

Standing Tall
When the rider is about to pop they want to stand tall, which means extending at the hips and knees so they don't absorb the energy

Stomp
When a rider lands a trick in a smooth or clean manner, they have "stomped" the trick.

Common Mistakes:

KGB vs Backroll to Blind with airpass:
For the KGB you need to land your move heelside, otherwise you are missing a 180 rotation leading you to a backroll to blind with an airpass.

Front Mobe vs FrontFlip to Blind with airpass
For the Front Mobe you need to land heelside, otherwise you are missung a 180 rotation leading you to a frontflip to blind with an airpass.

313:
For the 313 with need a railey with a FRONTSIDE 360, if you do a railey with a Backside 180 its called a blind judge with an airpass, if you do railey with a backside 360 its not a 313 but that doesn’t mean that is worth less then the 313.

Flat3:
A Flat3 can be a Frontside 360 or a Backside 360, normally the judges would try to use BS3 and FS3 instead of flat3.
