BACK LOOP          Rider: Francesco Ventura         Location: El Cabezo/ Tenerife

 
1
Choose a steep ramp and go for a very vertical jump.
 
2
Jump into the wind, and try to go high, instead of rotating immediately
 

 
3
As you reached the highest point, it´s time to rotate.

 

4
Open the sail and look down to the point, where you expect to land.
 

 
5
Leave the sail open and give pressure on the mastfoot, to prepare for a nosedive landing.
 
6
As the sail turns through the wind, get ready to handle the sudden pressure!
 

 
7
 
Very important: jump high and rotate slowly!
