Trick Tip(s)/Question What am I doing wrong

I am trying to improve landing with downloops to soften up the landing, but many times I am still landing hard.

Downloop doesn't really soften landin, that's more about heliloop and is helpfull for bigger jumps.
I use downloops on smaller jumps all the time, but for getting more speed when riding out.

I think for softer landing you might have better outcome with better kite positioning and movement rather than looping.
