You sure can. Advise you getting the Progression DVD, comes in 3 levels, teach you most tricks in the books better than any others we have come across.

Hooked in requires better lower movement to land them right. Unhooked (with the kite perfectly trimmed), however, leaves the arms free to pull in and more rotational movement in the legs to land better. Downloops(opposite direction to kiteloops) are much safer, but require more practice on the timing of edging and popping when the kite starts to pull. I am loving th feeling of downloops right now, and the combos are endless.

Pull... the... trigger.
Try underpowered first. This sounds pretty 'kn stupid, but loopng the kite is easy, its the landings youve got to worry about. Once youve sent the kite into a loop, your prtty much a passenger, so just concentrate on getting you're feet in the right place to land. If you can stick it, its kind of irrelvent what happend to the kite - the first few times you may forget to finsh the loop and ditch the kite, but as long as you land, it wont hurt (too much). Then get higher and faster with confidence.
