Thanks Tom - great instructional video, more please! You mention Heli loop also before landing but didn’t expand or show this on the video, Q1… is this a backhand kite loop again just before landing with kite above your head? Q2… And for learners like me who can jump quite high now but never looped during a jump maybe try a Heli loop just before landing initially? Appreciate your really great videos, as always! :)
hi mate, stoked you like the vid. So the heli loop can either be forward or backwards, depends a little on where the kite is and what you are comfortable doing. Yes I would say if you have never tried a loop before then its definitely worth trying some on landing first (warm up heli loops) I will do a video on that too!! 👍👍
@@jackdehert1159 I would say that may be because you need to keep your core engaged, lean your upper body back a bit and don't let your legs drop into the landing too soon!!... hard to say without seeing it tho!
Thanks for the tip with little hand movement prior and prefeeling the loop!
🤟🤟🙏
Sic quality instructional vid! 🙌
Yeww nice one! 👍👍
Thanks.. i loop 10 qm with a catch.. is it possible with a 11qm dice sls? Dies he catch you? 12 i never loop..
Great video! I tore my ACL recently on a kite loop and am looking for a good brace to use post-op. Any recommendations?
Yours looked like CTI customs but I couldn't really tell...
Yea I am using the CTI customs at the moment, I used to use Ortema from Germany which are next level too!!
Amazing flat. What spot it is?

it also doesn't need to be a 'loop' it can also just be a big dive... but I will go into that in a separate video!!
@@tomcourtkite I'd like to see a video on this, I think its a pretty underrated skill to land high jumps and loops with just a dive
Hey Tom, Nice video as always! I'm just starting to learn kiteloops but I keep getting pulled Sideways when I try to go higher. Got any tips?
When you say pulled sideways, what do you mean? Rotating under the kite? Landing on your side?
@@tomcourtkite Yes, so I rotate while swinging under the kite and land sideways or on my back.

@@tomcourtkite Thanks for the tip!
@@jackdehert1159 no worries bro
