I can already boost and backroll, and I've got something to work on in high wind. But in light wind I need something to work on, I don't have a talent for looping, so not that. And I don't want to try any of that risky stuff that the better kiters do right on the shoreline.
And I don't have a light wind kite.
I feel like I may have just answered my own question,
U don't need talent to loop a kite....
Start off with downloops (fronthand) on your transitions, this gives you more pull through the turns and is a great way to start looping.....u will get spanked a few times when start to do full kiteloops (backhand) but if u want to progress with ur tricks, it gives u the power and more time in the air to nail those tricks.....
Also, with the light wind stuff look for a big kite like a zephyr etc....this helped me progress very quickly because the big kites are slow and docile, it gives u more time to practice and learn more....
Good luck psycho....

your PSYCHOjoe so just go for the kiteloops, doesnt really take much skill, just committment
I really went for it with the kite loops a couple of years ago, mostly I just ended up getting hurt A LOT.
I've got the downloops fairly well dialled, and there's absolutely no budget for a light wind kite.
Thanks for the suggestions so far.
backroll transition. Backroll transition with kiteloop. Backroll transition to toeside.
I find darkslides difficult when not powered so wouldn't recommend them for lightwind if you don't have a big kite as you'll end up needing to commit to a big loop just to get about 0.5 seconds of darkslide action (okay exaggeration but you know what I mean)
Get the Duotone app and dig through the tutorials. Plenty of stuff to play with.
