Hi J. Frazer...
Chickenloop is something it comes from the local kiters of Hawaii. Kiting is a very young sport and it's about 4 years ago, that kiting becomes more popular.In that time very professional kiters at hawaii think about how they could have the possibility, to depower the Kite in dangerous situations. This is what you do with the chickenloop. You steel the Kite some power. Because only angry peoples Kite with a minimum power, they called it chickenloop. It's not so easy to explain it for me, hope you understand me.
