Chapters
0:00 Intro
0:37 1 Standing straight and following step by step instructions, practice the loop. Reach your hands to the sky and then throw them and the paddle forwards drawing a half circle in the air with your hands. Bend forwards all the way. Next, fold your wrists forward and lean all the way back with both your body and the paddle at the same time until you end up leaning backward. Practice with and without the paddle.
1:04 2 Using a mattress, do a forward roll
1:07 3 Using a mattress, do a forward roll and at the end slam your feet to the mattress elevating your hips and pushing off your shoulders.
1:16 4 Laying on your back, bring your legs vertical above your head. Do a dynamic throw of your legs up into the air and bring them up over your body again.
1:25 5 Sitting in the basic position – holding the paddle in front of you, lean slightly backward looking up. Throw your hands up drawing a half circle forwards and down going directly into the leaning forward position. Fold your wrists forward and lean all the way back with both your body and the paddle at the same time until you end up laying on the ground.
1:46 6 Do as above, but after you land, bring your legs above your body and kick them into the air, landing with your knees bent and hips high.
1:57 7 Sitting in the basic position in a kayak, do as in exercise 5. but focus on going all the way to the front and all the way to the back.
2:06 8 While in a kayak, lean forward and roll over to your back. Put your hands behind your head and after pulling your bow tight to your head, kick your legs up to put the bow vertical on the tail. Pushing with your hands, force it through the tail and land into the basic position. The first time do it on the soft ground and with assistance.
2:29 9 Ender from the bank – „Potato” - Set up on the bank and slide down with your boat between angle 60-80 degrees leaning slightly back. As the boat starts to bounce up, lean all the way forward. Avoid getting your paddle blades under the water when you plug.
2:46 10 Loop from the bank - Set up on the bank and go for a plug as in the previous exercise. Once you fall in, wait till your boat goes as deep as it can and continue with the step by step execution of the loop.
3:12 11 As an exercise to work on the final part of finishing off – roll down and lean all the way forward. Put your paddle perpendicular to the kayak at your bow with your hands folded to the inside, so the blades catch as much surface as possible. Throw your hips up by pressing on your hands and trying to go all the way to the back. With practice, it is possible to get the second part of the loop coming up.
3:37 12 Set up flat in your boat and at 90 degrees to the hole line. Lean all the way forward, watching where your boat goes. Plug in straight
and stay leaning forwards on the bow, let the water take your bow and try to complete a fully vertical end falling in upside down.
3:53 13 Do the same as the previous exercise however, try to work on your plug
here – sitting in the basic position, push your feet down and try to complete an ender in the basic position.
4:14 14 Do a proper plug as above. Once your boat becomes vertical, look at the sky after your boat starts to move upwards. Then throw your hands up, drawing the half circle in the air moving forwards and downwards moving directly into the leaning forward position and kicking the rotation for the boat. Finally, fold your wrists forward and lean all the way back with both your body and the paddle at the same time until you end up laying on the stern. You will then come back up to the basic position.
