snap turns

On the Rev site techniques section. it instructs you to perform snap turns to perform some of the exercises. i can't find where it tells you exactly how to do a snap turn.

is a snap turn a one handle snap or two? pull back or push forward?

thanks for the help

I think you would do a two handle snap, while pulliung, then push after the turn to keep the kite from moving forward.

I may be giving you a totally wrong description though (I'm not good with all this kite lingo.)

I consider a snap turn a 180 turn on spot. Using your thumb to push down.. the equivalent of a push turn on a dual. It's quick, so you wuold have to snap the turn and hold it.

thanks.

I'll give that a try next time out. It would be better if they did'nt assume previous knowledge when when teaching.

Do you mean a reverse up and over indoor?

Ray

Was this question meant for me? Sorry, the format is a little confusing.

Not a reverse overheasde, but flying behind you and chaning direction left to right.. right to left.

And if you start spinning make the agitatior a goal. Spin body and kite right, spin body and kite left, right left. :) More challening indoor move then just spinning. BB Penny

OOOhh Whidby Island, Sat. this weekend. The club is having a fun fly. Possible buggying and if weather is bad... indoor. BB Penny
