Shuttle Loop is an offensive technique, and a racial perk for Rito. As such, a Rito can choose to gain it as a perk upon character creation. If a Rito chooses to gain this perk at some point after creation, the perk costs 15 rupees less than the listed cost. Any character needs Winged Flight to use this technique, however, and thus will likely need to be either a Rito or a Aeralfos.

To begin using this technique, the user takes a moment to crouch down and concentrate her power. A moment later, the user abruptly rockets into the air, usually with a vicious uppercut from her weapon. At about 10 feet (or 3 meters) after this stellar high jump, the user sheathes her weapon (if necessary to fly) while performing a backwards somersault, and then enters winged flight with a gliding start.
