yer just dont send the kite too far, or if u are doing a backroll remember not to pull on the backhand when mid-roll. i used to do it heaps when i was learning backrolls.
...but i know how to kiteloop propper now, i am so stoked its the best/scariest feeling ever.
..if u do want to do a kiteloop (intentionally) then ride well powered up on a 7m (preferabally a c kite), and send the kite just passed 12, then pull hard on u'r backhand like a second after leaving the water(depends how big u wanna go..if you wanna go bigger then wait 2 or 3seconds before looping it). maybe look at the kite for ur first couple (then after when ur more experienced u can feel where the kite is), when the kite is on its way up let the bar out about half way for a second then let it go over ur head (just a little) then downloop it and land straight downwind at 100km/h
its easier going on your opposite stance
thought i might just add that incase you want to learnt them intentionally
have fun.

SFB

you pulled your backhand before it was at 12

this makes it rorate too low in the powerzone - thus you were only as high as the kite was at waterf level just before you got clangered

wtf is this guy still here for?

(for sboye)
do you not have friends of your own? do you crave the social interaction that you get out of this so much that you don't see yourself as unwanted or really just a joke? Sboy, this is the internet-it has 3 main functions; ****, checking the weather/event dates and maybe facebook. facebook is only any good for letting everyone know how **** your current lecture is though.

What I'm trying to say surfingboye is that in being a troll to the magnitude that you are shows that you are so desperate for someone to talk to (it's a key board though and people write LOL so it's about as close to talking as metal is to jelly) that you miss construct the truth that your just having people get pissy at you to be a social interaction. Continue to do so if you must... I'm not as phased by it as I am benevolent to your plight.

now that i remember why I don't go on here any more I'm just going to f back off until my email says someone wants to ban us

A kite loop isn't really a trick so to say...

A kite loop back roll
A kite loop KGB
Even so a kite loop transition
etc...

Back to the original question:

To control the kiteloop, you should pull it sooner. if your jump has reached the top, the there is no longer any downward weight on the kite and the loop gets pretty scary.

Also, make the kite loop faster. If you're unhooked (which I'd recommend) then trying the 'fishpole' technique is not a bad idea. The harder the you pull the kiteloop, the faster it will loop and it won't travel through the guts of the power zone.

You can't megaloop by accident, its not possible.

Being lower than the kite doesnt make it a megaloop

If you can consistently pull kiteloops as you say then surely it is evident to you why your kite got below you? Because you didn't loop the kite fast enough and allowed it to go below you DER! If you have the kite control skills you say you do, then it should be obvious to you and in light of the other crap you post on here it really makes you seem like a 'troll'.

That and so much of your post is devoted to describing how 'extreme' it was rather than being pertinent to the question you are asking, it doesn't make you seem genuine.
