I already paid so much on top, never mind my time I put into it.
Free only if a big sponsor steps up!

All these slide tricks usually perform with a slow kiteloop performed when the kite is on the opposite side of the wind window, just before you are powerless. If performed this way the loop has not too much power just enough to keep on riding...

Nice one!

Really Toby?

I see a dozen difficult technical moves here, not just a "light loop", if that's what you call a quick change of direction in the Windfensterrand. I've seen you perform live, unlike the others who are commenting and it looks HOT. But it's obvious that it takes a lot of practice and precision to generate just the right amount of power for this combo and to achieve optimal hang time. A loop would be too messy and too quick for that. The kites you learned on were way more lethal than anything today, so you may have to explain to us new generation kiters how to fly a slow 18m positioned in the "powerless" zone at 20+ knots as prerequisite for the technically difficult -- but beautiful -- moves in this combo. And don't say you looped it. You can't loop a kite this big in the lagoon! Not unless your goal is to land in the ocean on the other side!
