Atb kite megaloop ( not a challenge, just curious)

I have been watching videos of kite boarders doing megaloop where the rider is above the kite. Has this ever been done on a land board. I was thinking of it being done and realized if you mess us you risk serious injury or worse. But it would be a cool thing to see. You would have to have so much space downwind and have a very fast kite. I only know of maybe 3 people, and only one by name that might be skilled enough to try it.

Again this is not a challenge to anyone

I don't think he's above the kite, but I just ran across this video and he's doing some pretty massive loops.

yea kris and the frinton boys are the people that could do it if they haven't already done it.

another way to do it would be to use shorter lines
