The Megaloop Three

The Megaloop 360 is definitely a scary one in the beginning.
You first want to try some normal backroll kiteloops and get comfortable unhooking mid-air.

It’s all about timing and speed, just like any other move? Gheghe!

So let me explain what to do.

-You take off full speed, try to edge hard while you pull the kite up and around.
-Throw yourself into a fluent backroll with your stomach muscles tensed up and keep pulling the kite around
-Once the kite has come around and you?ve completed your backroll you keep looking over your left shoulder and pull yourself towards the bar.
By rotating you? ll turn your hook out of your chicken loop.
-The kite will have speed and will go up so concentrate on your handlepass.
-After completing the handlepass make sure you hold on and get your second hand back on the bar.
-Spot your landing and enjoy the feeling ?

Sometimes the chicken loop will stay in the hook, so then you can’t pass and rotate further.
Try to recover by just turning back and control the kite?

  5. Hello Ruben,

    My name is Walter, am a Dutchie, 45, I know, that’s oldddd, but have none fear

    I kite a lot, 8 years now, do some old school, with looping the kit, which I like most!

    Questions…yess.

    1st) I Make a nice high jump, but then..During the kite-loop ( backwards) I do not get really lift – like you do.

    2nd) I can only make in shitty light-winds a backroll-kiteloop. With strong winds it really punishes me.

    Do you have some tips for an (old) kiter who loves the sport…

    thanks en lots of succes with your adventures.
