Is any one out there trying actual wrapped tricks ? I use a small second handle which I connect to the chicken loop and can land a few spins but not having much luck yet with inverts like remix's or wrecking balls.

Done them for a fair while. Off kickers they are totally doable, wrapped Slim or Dum Dums seem to be the hardest for me, wrapped KGB is by far the easiest. I was trying to do some wrapped tricks off the flat from Toeside recently, It's almost impossible (for me) haha.

p.s. You can make your handle the chicken loop if you're super keen (just hook into it), that's what I do if I'm serious, usually I don't bother though.

Nice, thanks. Will try kgb's next time I'm out. The handle chicken loop is a good idea, I like the extra length on the added handle cause I find I can keep my body in a better position than just holding the loop.

If you have a big loop or a long throw it's not really an issue.

Best thing you can do is setup a sliding stopper ball to lock the power on, then have a seperate line that goes through the bar to the depower strap that you can connect to and still de-power the kite when you crash (that's how I have it setup in that video).
