How To HELI LOOP / DOWNLOOP / LANDING LOOP FOR BIG JUMPS BIG AIR Kitesurfing | Get High with Mike

A heli loop, downloop or landing loop, is the loop you throw before landing a massive jump!

This is the maneuver that encouraged me to start coaching. Let me know what you think or drop questions in the comments! N’yeowww!
