Just a few tips:

1. Keep the kite pretty low, it helps so the kite won’t fly way over head and stop the rotation.
2. Make sure to get a strong load and pop
3. Once you pop go for the front roll
4. Look for you landing
5. Pull a little on your front hand to bring the kite down as you land. This helps finish the rotation and land with more speed.

I hope this helps!

I guess what I meant to say was pull with your front hand. Very Happy
