description

execution

Fly right to left to the edge of the wind window. As the kite is about to stall, push with your right hand, and then snap it back. Use just the top hand and a slightly exaggerated motion. The kite will roll onto it's belly and continue over on it's back, and then pulling up on it's lines will cause the kite to snap back into flight. This move can be done to a landing as well. When the kite is rolling down, just as it turns on it's back, pull up the lines to plant it on the ground. In a good landing both wingtips get planted at the same time !. While the kite is rolling over, the lines should be slack. Find out how far down the kite drifts usually before you can pull it up to plant it on the ground, and set your initial horizontal line accordingly. Deep sailed kites have more difficulty doing this trick. The hand movements that start this trick are similar to the movements of the half axel, only the top hand pull is harder for the rixe
