To all the other forever intermediate OTD kiters like me - give the popping thing PMB describes a try - great fun totally different feel to my usual send the kite dangly jumps - feels much more floaty the complete opposite of what i expected.. ...works really well when the wind is really cranking everytime you pop you release the really wound up energy so it sort of helps keep everything under control - bloody good fun

agreed, thanks for those great tips on the POP. luckily i've been workin on this from the start, gleaning key info from instructors early on. now after finally getting up the shiz to try back rolls.....i'm amazed at how easy they were. after two sessions sticking them in both directions! so i've got two questions:
-if i want to try to throw a loop in my backroll, should i just super commit to pullin on that back hand?
-early on in my attempts, i almost landed toeside on my backroll. if i want to stick this extra in, how should i focus? more rotation?
