thanks kitcho, I haven't been hurt too bad on the backie loop transish as I'm getting really good at landing on the sand nowadays.
r u gonna back loop or front loop for the sarkslide and are you gonna transish it or stay on course? cheers



If you're landing on the sand you might need to start a little bit deeper pattie

ok been attempting loops now... confident going down wind and even managing to downloop out of front roll transitions....

tried looping on small jumps. jump a small height and on my way down i pull hard on back hand but im finding it just pulls me off course and the kite doesnt loop quick enough and i end up slamming into the water..

im thinking i need to jump higher and pull the bar with back hand but not pull the bar in to allow the kite to loop at the top of the window. does this make sense??

Nice video Glasstraxx, i love just watching regular kiters doing their own thing, that double back roll looked nice and smooth. With jumping and looping i find committing is the hardest thing, i always pull with the back hand and the kite sheeted in at the pinnacle of my jump, not that i am any expert.

I was at mullaloo yesterday trying some jump transition loops, first couple didn't turn out so well but once the confidence is up and you commit you'll be fine

on my 7m razor looping all weekend, was a little scary at first but crazy fun when I landed them and not eating a big D. I think I much prefer looping my 9m, I think the power is a little more consistent rather then a sudden quick pull that the 7m gives!

Thanks for the feedback. Will give it a go on my 8m park which might loop quicker and will keep the bar sheeted in while pulling HARD on my back hand....

please do that **** further out, just incase you cock it up and put a kite on the road or houses . Good on you for nailing a move but you don't have to showboat. Do it out the back

Yep was trying to keep cautious staying far enough out to still get a video of it.! Will keep in mind

Hats off to the guys out yesterday on the river throwing the massive kite loops it was EPIC!

Hoping to get some loops dialed today on the 10m

sooo...... after breaking the swivel on my naigh park trying to darkslide i laid off the loops for a little while as it really knocked my confidence..


however, was out yesterday on the zephyr and i was trying to kite loops... funny enough i was able to jump about 2m and back loop the kite a couple of times.. i think the trick is to do it on the way down so nearly all the power is gone... anyways its a start!!!
