backloops
tried a couple of backloops today, which went pretty badly.
Was trying them off waves, trying to keep the kite at around 11 oclock. Got half way round then landed on my back.
Main problem seems to be that the kite goes all over the place, I dropped it the second time, which was a pain, I know your supposed to
not move the kite, but that ain't happenin for me, and I don't feel i'm getting enough lift to get all the way round.
Any tips would be appreciated

Dude, when you get half way round on the backloop look over your shoulder and spot your landing...by turning your head towards the
direction you want to travle in your body will follow.
happy backlooping!

try tucking your legs as well as this speeds the rotation up, you can also flick the kite as in 11 to 12 and back, if still haveing
probs we will catch up and i'll show you how (to crash) with styleeeeeeeeee

cheers for that col and leo,
tried a couple more today, though was a little underpowered I think, crashed with style once!!
did manage some good tail grabs though and was getting some nice floaty jumps off the waves as I went out - yeehaah.
