location?

[@kzterminator]

common mistake so true lol. The first time I tried to imitate others doing the kite loop end the kite up on the water :D

[@AntonBrazhnyk]

Transition itself is just a half loop, right? It means that after it steering will be in reverse and very confusing. Does it make sense to turn the bar in advance while you in more control to avoid reversed steering later when you might need quick corrections?..

[@alwayswindykite]

Yes correct, its half a loop. But dont worry about the bar so much. untwisting the bar comes at the end, once you finished the loop. You can always ride away with the lines crossed, that will not affect the kite. Do not try to rotate the bar ahead of the transition, that will really not end well.

[@AntonBrazhnyk]

Thanks a lot for your reply. I tried just the half-loop after it and it turns out that it was me and not the kite to blame. It was me who turned the bar with the kite during half-loop and were putting myself in trouble with reversed steering. :D
