The pilot was practicing touch and go landings on an east/west turf runway in the unregistered Sorrell Aircraft Co. HiperLight SNS-8 biplane.

The pilot reported that the wind changed while taking off to a left crosswind.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during takeoff roll resulting in a ground loop. A contributing factor was crosswind conditions.
