I'd like to learn a "pimped" transition (hooked). Which do you think is the best looking and not too technical to do?
Back role kiteloop transition. cool thing is your lines are not twisted at the end of the transition.
Back roll kiteloop is good as long as you pull the loop as you take off to give you maximum height and speed when landing....
How does one execute this "death trap transition" or otherwise known as backroll kiteloop?
I think this video demonstrates the key points well but not the down loop. A good starting point though.
Thanks guy's, I'll be giving this a go asa I can!
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Another move I'm trying to figure out in my head before I try is a Tantrum

Good Luck
love tearing into the shallows and launching myself over the dunes or beach then looping back into the flat water, feels great when you time it right feels bad when you dont, not that technical but takes decent kite control so you dont plant yourself, you can see my take off point and this is my landing point that i focus on
Back roll, land to toe side, carve straight back to heelside to head the other direction, as you transfer your weight to heel side load up and pop another back roll. Pretty simple and once you get it dialed it looks like one fluid move that mindf@&ks people watching, and you cruise off with no twists in your lines.
An old Lou Wainman move from 2 line days.
Pimped Transitions
1. Toeside 540
2. Toeside backroll!
Coolest feeling popping out of toeside!
Add in a hand plant or grab for a more stylish look.....
Oh, and make sure you commit 110% to the kiteloop
I've already got rasher on my arm from doing this in shallow water and not landing properly.
