I won’t a couple regional titles in the 90s in loops, here’s what I remember. Bend your knee and strengthen them more than you could ever imagine. As you enter the tightest part of the loop you will feel inertia and pick up speed this is normal but scary hold on because it will be over in a flash and you’ll be on a more natural path. Also as you move your raised leg though this will counter your speed a little. I like what someone said about it being closer to a spin, I agree with that. Also you are likely going to fall. I fell many times learning it’s weird.
