First fully powered kiteloops
I just learned them today on my 19m charger. they aren't as scary as i thought theyd be. Once you reach the apex of your jump crank that bar hard
twist your board so its facing downwind for the fast landing/roll away. that's it, oh yeah and COMITT! I landed it first try today, i was so stoked

i can't imagine trying it on a 12m in 30mph winds....that's gonna be scary. that 19 is so smooth and floaty, so you don't get that whippy lift or
acceleration. dang, its no wonder people love it so much. I think taking your feet out of your bindings for a one footer or a board off is harder.
this is just all committment. I gotta give credit to Carltb for giving me the trick tips for it though. :bigok:

Mood: slick as a leopard!!
looping the 12 in 30mph winds is the exact same technique. to start with, loop it at the apex or when you start to decend. its all about the body
position. get that right and you can handle any loop.
when you feel really confident you can start looping the kite on the way up!!!

Nice! Loops while in the air on land must be freaky, I haven't even considered trying.. i just cruise on the landboard; must be getting old or
something. You blow it you'd smeared on the ground :o Congrats on giving it a go AND landing it!!

here's me on the atb , doing kite loops, first one at 00 :20 straight running jump and at 00:55 with a back roll.
http://vimeo.com/28390968
decent breeze 15-20 the unit is a Venom 2 13m.
really adds a nice down wind thump at the apex. really fills in the nicely if its light by placing them higher in the window for extra float.
