Am I seeing someting wrong? He's coming in on one tack and lands going the other way, which looks like a 180 backroll transition downloop?

I think his body completes a 360 in this sequence..his back is facing the same direction at the end of the trick. It may seem like a downloop because he doesn't leave the water 'til late? (I'm no expert in this matter) It sure seems like he's getting pretty darn catapulted for a downloop. Looks like he has a choice to ride it out or head back where he came from for a transition. I dunno.

Nice addition to the site:
I suspect he pulled the first quarter (up and over the top) kinda slowly while cranking up wind (look at his tracks) and unhooking so in a sence he did do a "kinda" down loop thangy.
All I can say about this rider and the shooter is Well Done!!
