To preform this trick you need to be able to do a Railey and it would help if you can do a Railey/Pop to Wrapped, because than you know how to make the rotation.

Keep your kite during the whole trick at an angle of 45 degrees. It’s important that you have speed, because this will help you to do this trick in a fluent movement. It’s easier to do the trick with a small Shifty (tweak), before you go for the pass.

Pop off like a Railey only don’t let your front leg swing back, let the swing of your board go into your back leg. The board will tweak behind your body, this is called a Shifty. The Shifty will help you to get a faster rotation, what makes it easier to pass the bar.

Now you can use your body movement from the Shifty, to make the 360 degrees rotation to Wrapped. Throw your back leg around and let your body turn into Wrapped, at the same moment you let go of your front hand and make the pass behind your back.

As soon as you passed the bar prepare yourself for the landing. The landing will be pretty hard, because your kite is still at a 45 degrees angle and you will still have a lot of speed. Bend your knees to absorb the landing and keep your board pointing with his nose downwind.

* If you have problems with keeping the kite at an angle of 45 degrees, grab the bar with your back hand pointing finger and middle finger around the depower line.
