Re: Will double loops become possible?

As you said first loop pulls you downwind fast and loose tension and can heliloop on side of window counter to travel direction for smooth landing. I think closet you could have a second loop somewhat powered is to do first megaloop high on back side of the window after jump so you don’t go straight...

Re: Prevent body rotation

Leave it off centre and you'll find it easier to put your board on: This video covers it (watch to the end to see an example of the problem you described) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zU4VeGuRnc&t=180s +1 IKO determined that keeping...

Re: Line lengths for mega looping

That’s right, Short line kite will catch you a bit better but will be more aggressive. As far as learning I thought bandit 24m line was pretty hard to learn to loop on, I probably didn’t have great body position, it kept yanking me into Superman and tended to stall, I had tendancy to sheet back in q...

Re: Anyone else dodging "flying fish"?

hit a few fish in Florida last time I went down there. It was pretty freaky, each time i would land a jump, fish will get scared and jump right into my chest.

Re: Core xr5 slow

Make sure you sheet in all the way when you steer it, I did notice that you need to be quite powered for it to be responsive since at teh bar it's on / off when sheeting in and out.

Re: Mouth Mount for GOpro, high probability of injury the face?

i have had a bruise over my cheek bones, definitly can't let it hang around your neck on tether, after landing a jump it will swing and hit you in the face and it hurts :o :cry: :lol:

I bring one of those on vacation but usually i try to fit a helmet.
