Tips and Tricks
Megaloop Frontroll? This is how you do it!
Trick Update:
1- Make sure you have enough speed
2- Spot your take-off place
3- Just before you take off you put your kite from 9 to 11…
4- Edge really hard, kick your board upwind to take off smooth and pull consistent to get most height possible
5- The harder you edge against your pull, the higher you go and the faster the kite will turn
6- When you release keep on pulling and chuck yourself forward to get inverted
7- Tense your stomach muscles and pull in one knee to hold nice position
8- Throw in a grab when you feel comfortable
9- After completing rotation and loop check altitude and kite position
10- Spot landing and bring kite in good position by maybe looping it again or just send it down
Good luck with trying this move!! Let me know if you have any questions, comments or suggestions.
Peace!

I’m used to do the backroll kiteloop, but in this move while you’re going with your left leg forward the kite must loop in the right direction.. so it’s an inverted looping??
eehhh.. you forgot to mention 9 years of experiance and the mental inaballity to feel any fear… aside from those two points you naild it!
pleaseee just need change camera man, he can keep up with the rider, beatifull sky shots on both tricks… hahahaha
Yo Ruben and Arron, been hitting the mega loops proper powered 7m and boosting big, can easily throw the mega loop but having difficulty on the landings as I always outrun or fully butt check..do u bring the kite back round after u’ve landed or before u land? I’m landing with loads of speed so maybe bring it back round hard before i land? Hope u can help laterrzzzzzz
How about some suggestions on doing a megaloop?
I have started trying kiteloop backrolls, and I am landing so hard due to not enough height…
What is the minimum height for kitelooping and being able to land smoothly with the kite behind/above you?
