Quad line tricks - Spins
Rev Flat spin
Fly the kite right out to the right of the window
with the leading edge facing out towards the right. Push your right
hand forwards to let the right hand side of the kite (nearest the
ground) fall way back away from you. Then, with a quick flick of the
left wrist across your body and down to the left, the kite should
flatten out and flat spin (strobe?) across towards the left of the
window.
Stairway to heaven
Start by hovering upside down near the ground, center of the window.
Sharply pull bottom line in left hand. The kite does a "semi-flat"
spin counterclockwise. Catch the kite when it is again inverted. Now
do the same with the right hand. Catch it when inverted again etc...
The end result is that the kite does a "fountain" type move up the wind
window, as each "catch" would end up a little higher in the window than
the last. It looks like the kite is going up stairs...
