Tricks | |
| Modern sports kites (dual lines) are
capable of performing amazing tumbles, turns and tricks.
There are some excellent videos around which short of
seeing the trick in reality, are the best way to learn. I
have the Prism series ("Way to Fly" and
"Advanced Way to Fly") which are very good
although I have heard good things said about the Dodd
Gross Series "Flight School". Rather than go into detail about individual tricks... there is a site which does it far better than I ever could (particularly as I'm only just getting to Axel!) so .... click here for Peter Peter's site which explains hundreds of tricks in some detail |
