Backloop Spin into Frontloop

Combo trick: Backloop spin followed by a frontloop

Aleks Acherer performed this jump at the GWA event in Tarifa: a backloop spin into a frontloop. This move is more commonly seen as a variation with a frontflip instead of a frontloop. Unlike a flip, a loop is not jumped over the flattened wing, but rather, as seen here, sideways past the leeward side with the wing rotating upright.
