Hooked-in, the back loop is likely to be one of the first rotation freestyle tricks you'll try. Once you move on to unhooked riding, it's again one of the first moves you'll get to master. Jeremie Tronet dials you into both techniques here

Hooked-in: • Approach with good, steady speed and slowly drift the kite up to 11 o'clock or 1 o'clock (depending on which way you're heading - 11 o'clock in Jeremie's case). A higher kite will make the trick easier as you'll get more float. Unhooked: • Going into the trick with the kite higher will again give you more time to learn the trick. Approach with good power and get ready to unhook by trimming your kite so that it will fly correctly when the bar is sheeted right down to the chicken-loop ie: riding unhooked. Generally, you have to pull on quite a bit of depower. Bear downwind slightly just as you unhook.

Hooked-in: • Keep the kite at 11 or 1 o'clock and move your hands into the middle of the bar either side of the chicken-loop so that you won't over-steer the kite while going round your rotation. Unhooked: • You should aim to use the pop you get from your board to get you round this trick rather than the lift from the kite. Again, keep the kite at 11 or 1 o'clock and move your hands into the middle of the bar.

Hooked-in: • Carve steadily into wind by pushing with your back foot on your board and throw your head to look behind you over your front shoulder as far as you can. Unhooked: • Unhooked you need to carve HARD into wind, pushing down hard on your back foot. You also have to be aware that the kite will be pulling through your hands rather than your harness, so your body position will be much more laid out as you spin.

Hooked-in: • Push off with your back foot and keep those eyes looking around ready to spot your landing. Unhooked: • Same as above but keep your arms a little bent so you still have some control for later when you'll need to pull the bar back in underneath you.

• Bending your legs will help speed up your rotation; extending them will slow things down.

• Keep those eyes looking for your landing (rather than winking at the camera as JT does here!).

• Keep those eyes looking for your landing.

Hooked-in: • Once you spot your landing, straighten up your body and focus on that point. Unhooked: • Start thinking about pulling your bar back into your hips which will straight up your body for landing.

• Allow your body to naturally drop towards the water, extending your legs to meet your landing and pointing your board towards the kite for a soft landing. • You should also now be pulling on the bar with your front hand slightly to get the kite dipping into the power to pull you out of the trick planing rather than sinking.

• Get ready to bend your legs as you soak up the landing.

Hooked-in: • Land heading towards the kite and sheet out while you regain control of your board and bend your legs to soak up the impact. Unhooked: • Head towards the kite so there's less pull in the kite lines, allowing you to hook quickly back in while the chicken-loop is naturally close to your hook.

• Engage your rail to get tension back in your lines before you run out of speed and head back upwind.

PROBLEMS: • If you're over rotating, straighten your legs to slow your spin speed. • Another reason you're over rotating could be that you're not stopping looking over your shoulder once you've spotted your landing spot. • If you're under-rotating tuck your legs in to speed things up. • If when you unhook you find there is immediately too much bar pressure, remember to trim the depower first and to head downwind before carving upwind to relieve a lot of the pressure and power. • If you're spinning out on landing you're not pointing your board towards the kite when you land and are trying to land on the rail straight away. • If you're losing power when you land, dive the kite harder as you come in to land.
