Spence Watson Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Well, I don't want to call the second one the jump rope, because it is only part of the jump rope, and not the whole thing. As for the videos, does your computer have speakers?Is the sound turned up on the speakers? Is the volume turned up on the computer? Is the volume turned up on YouTube? Is the computer on mute? Are your speakers plugged in? Are you able to hear other things from your computer? I know some of the questions seem really stupid, but it happens. I'm able to hear things just fine.

After that comes the quadline Tricks Party format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job on the video. Check it out Spence, Standing on the chair is easier then sitting on the chair to fly the indoor rev. More windless window. BB Penny ~who better get to work.

Jynx Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Well, the reason I call it a pancake is because in my mind, a flic-flak involves the kite becoming completely inverted, while a pancake involves the kite simply going flat (parallel to the floor). Plus, I have heard other people call it this. Most things I don't really know the name to, so if I don't know the name, I just make it up. Like the pancake catch and axel catch, I just made up the names. I know, I know I'm pretty clever and original XD We always made up our own names too. My names for some of my moves like the guillotene and can can.. You just call them what you want.. maybe you'll make a new catch word. BB Penny I feel better knowing that you create names for your manuvers too. I thought I was the only one! I have what I call the "Oh NO!", the "S**t", the "Braaaa-ther", the "How did I do that?", the "dang", the "What?", the "Huh?", and the "I give up I'm going home!" ...and a few more I'll keep to myself.

wen Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 i figured out the fade part the first few times i picked up a indoor rev but couldn't get it to spin, just recently i give it another try and it worked it looks great on long lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John F Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 It is nice to see the young ones starting to define REV flying. Think what they will add over the next year. I will learn from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Lingenfelter Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 missed this one in you toss&catch vid Fantastic Wen, I thought when I saw it, "Oh, that's kewl.. I do that sometimes." If you do it once you know you can learn to do it. Doing something on purpose and knowing how to do it are two different things. It takes practice.- physically and mentally challenging. At the gym last night, I tried.. hahahaha Then I worked on trying to do it an inch off of the ground. Wow, those tips want to flip up. So.. I am waiting patiently... (patience means wait nicely) Please, lets get that tutorial out there you two. BB Penny ~who loves watching the kids coming up and who can pancake now. Thanks Spence!

It is easy to get to the fade. I still don't understand how you get out of it. But while playing with I can imagine a lot fancy things might be done from this position. It is like the fade on the dual line, platform for more moves. Have you tried this outdoors. If you could spin a half turn in the you might be able to pull out from there. If you did then you are doing JL's with a REV. Then the REV has gone tricky. Or if you do a full spin it would be equivalent to a back spin. You might have started something here.

wen Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 hmmm thats an idea i tried it a few times with no success but that was a long time ago about getting out of the fade, i think the rev can't be too slanted, it's gotta be leaning back just a bit. kinda like a backflip on a dual. or just keep trying. i don't even understand what i just said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Watson Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 John, I think what you are asking is how to toss the kite back after the fade. Is that right? If so, After the fade, you are holding the kite by the LE with the Rev Logo and the lines away from you. Then you just sort of do like an under-hand toss with it, so that the kite is floating out with the lines and rev logo on the bottom, then the kite will end up inverted. Does that make sense?
