How Lincoln Loop Got Its Name: A Journey from Ski Slopes to Django Development

Ever wondered what inspired the name behind Lincoln Loop? Surprisingly, it’s not a nod to tech terms or web development jargon. Instead, it has roots in our founder Pete’s passion for skiing. The name pays homage to a legendary maneuver—the "Lincoln Loop," a sideways flip performed in a vertical plane, created by freestyle skiing pioneer Eddie Lincoln. This iconic trick emerged during the “hot-dogging” era of the 1970s, a time when skiers challenged convention with bold style and technical innovation. Though nearly 50 years have passed, the Lincoln Loop remains an impressive, stylish move, and a foundational skill for many of today’s complex off-axis tricks.

The Lincoln Loop embodies mastery, control, and creativity—all values that guide us in our work at Lincoln Loop. Just as Eddie Lincoln needed precision and courage to invent a move that would become foundational in freestyle skiing, we bring the same finesse to every Django project we take on. Like the Lincoln Loop trick itself, our approach to web development relies on a balance of classic skill and fearless innovation. This balance enables us to take on ambitious, mission-critical projects, blending reliability with an openness to explore new possibilities.

As our team expands, we continue to see the principles behind the Lincoln Loop reflected in our work. Each project offers the chance to push boundaries and refine our craft. We don’t just dive into development; we bring a strong sense of purpose, resilience, and a thrill for the challenge, much like a skier carving fresh tracks. For those seeking a development partner that values mastery, boldness, and a timeless sense of style, Lincoln Loop is ready to tackle even the toughest slopes of web development.
