When jumping with good speed and reasonable height, is it important which direction the kite is looped? Natural footer traveling from right to left, kite at ten o clock, edge, send kite to 12ish one, jump...kite loop in which direction?...land softly, regain edge...repeat.
If your just after a soft landing from a high jump and not an actual kite loop, always downloop, around 2m above ground i normally downloop. I find the best thing to do is go out with some of your locals who are landing tricks you would like to learn and get as much tips as you can.
