Default F16- Not!

I was doing some reading and came accross the following descriptive of an F16:

"Edging hard with your kite at about 45, slowly bring your kite up towards 12 o’clock. Move your lead hand under your trailing hand to one side of the bar and grip it like a baseball bat. With a firm grip on the bar, load up your edge and point your bar at the kite. As the kite starts to pivot, pop off of your edge and throw your back roll. As this is happening, hold on for dear life. If everything goes as planned you should complete your back roll as the kite is coming out of the kite loop. Bend your knees and prepare to land very hot!"

What I saw on Weds. at BH wasn't this- more like a Piper Cub.

(Ok, it was kewl, but what is it; loop transition?)
