hey eppo, as I said you practice these when theres barely enough wind to jump with the kite. you can do these on a good turning 12m. go into the apex of a jump and pull the back hand as you are half way through your back roll. youll only go 3m off the water and the kite catches you on the upstroke when you time it right. if it gets too hot, let go, remember your unhooked, so no damage done. Its a great way to feel the lines being tensioned through the loop. My avitar, is an F16.

bar in, sore legs.... im learning im learing.


Edit: I wanna try 20m lines.

just do it ..... and close the eyes ..... I found by jumping keeping the kite a little past 12 and then really crank that bar at the apex, and tense the stomach muscle helps u pull the loop off , nice pic underoath .

Although many may disagree.. for me the easy answer to most of the above is the higher you are, the safer it is. If you get the kite all the way around the loop, even if it yanks you hard, and you have enough room below you... pushing the bar out should get the kite back above your head to catch you every time. Even with the kite catching you and correct timing on your downloop, you're still going to land fast downwind simply because it's such a high powered trick but with correct technique it is safe.
