MOVE: Back Loop to Toe-side

RIDER: Pauline Boussard

PHOTOS: Randy Hereman

Keep a low profile but feel good with a hooked-in powered back loop to toe-side. This is an ideal move if you've got a head for heights as you can really get some nice floaty air-time, or if you're more about a fast rotation, just enjoy popping off those little kickers.

You can start to learn this trick with your kite high in the window for more float, but it's a good trick to start learning to get your kite lower for more powered tricks. Try to work your kite down to 45 for the whole trick. Your crashes may be a little harder as the kite will be pulling you, but it'll be more of a tickle than a full slap.

It's all about the pop, but don't be put off as pop practice will transform the mix of your riding and you'll be popping little styled-out airs from here to eternity. A back loop like this is easier than blasting off into a sent kite extravaganza, so if you follow these easy steps with care you'll have completed this back rotation before you know it.

• As this move is driven by pure pop, you need to keep your kite at 45.

• Slide your hands to the centre of the bar to avoid any unnecessary kite movements.

• Approach this move with moderate speed to generate some good pop
