MOVE: S-Bend-to-Toe

RIDER: Sam Light

PHOTOS: William Milne

That's right, you heard! Go and sniff your armpit! Not because you've got odour issues - this is just one of the priceless tips PKRA rider Sam Light dishes out in this explanation of the S-bend-to-toe.

Before attempting this move you should be comfortably knocking out unhooked raileys, front rolls and to a certain extent, S-bends. Done well this trick can look sick, and you can put cool grabs in such as an indy before you land with your right hand in the centre of your toe-side rail. Once mastered this trick can lead on to loads more, such as an NIS (non inverted slim), an S-bend shift to blind.... I could go on forever! For me personally, I find it easier than a normal S-bend as you don’t need as much pop as you do for an S-bend.

• Approach the trick as you would go into an S-bend or railey; by edging and releasing to get some good pop and keeping your kite steady at about 45Ί.
