Caution!!!! SARCASTIC RESPONSE AHEAD.

Wait a minute, I thought bow kites were for beginners and sissies. Must be some kind of fake video. Yes, that's it. It has to be fake. No way does a bow perform like that!

might seem like a silly question but how does the kite do that loop circle at the top of the window?


as opposed to theother loops lower in the window

After picking up horizontal speed from the first kiteloop the rider swings towards the kite so the second one loops at the zenith. Not simple. The rider must concentrate hard on bringing the kite back up at the right spot and timing after the first loop before hitting the second one.
