I'm only doing kiteloop raleys... no backroll yet... I want to land a blind judge and a few other raley tricks before I try the F16... also want to try a mobe (backroll fs 360? w/ handlepass) I've got it down on a bar in my frontyard... the bar I put in a tree about 9' up... it was hard for a while because I've gotta completely pull myself up because the bar is too high.

And josh, the mobe IS a lot easier then the boardpass/handlepass whatever it's called as far as pulling it off on a hanging bar.

And about looping the kite too low, you've really gotta loop it at 11 when learning. I've been starting to loop it a LOT lower and it's a ton harder of a pull and I get MUCH higher. If you start it at 11 or so, it'll be a lot more "user friendly."

I wouldn't know which is easier between the hooked or unhooked kiteloops though... never done a hooked in one :?

Josh, Sbend to blind yet? or what tricks to blind are you landing solid?

for me the boardpaass/handlepass is alot easier on a hanging bar then a mobe....

yet i tryed a front mobe on the water, and should be able to land it next time i'm out... i got the pass down and everything, could have landed it but board fell off.

as of right now i have no tricks to blind, haven't tryed any yet... but soon will have a handfull to blind garentee.
