I was just clicking around a little bit on the ol' interweb and came across this new thing that they're doing on the SportKiteDesign site called Sequence of the Month.

I'm pretty sure this is the same pilot featured in the Seven promo video, I am just amazed by his flying. I dream about flying like that, but I'm afraid my mind doesn't work that fast. Flippy & Floppy, but doesn't look sloppy !

The pilot Adrian Bickerstaffe and he is the one from the Seven promo. Mad skills and also a great bloke.

Super cool, Rob! I really like how he gives a blow by blow so you could work on the sequence at your own speed. ITs kind of like a monthly program of study. A guy could just learn part of it, too, a couple of moves to get some different combos going. And as you said, its pretty fast. Great stuff, thanks for posting!

Adrian seems to have taken much from Wardley. Most tricks center around the backspin. In almost all his entries he enters the backspin from a downward flight and not the typical broken axel or flare out - unusual. I notice also which I will try is the lazy susan stoppage at on a particular multi-lazy rotation at 180* then backspinning to a his next trick combination. The stoppage of a trick with half revolutions seems to be something we see in Stoke in the Park. It seems these videos CARRY-ON this tradition very well.

I also expect him to be left handed? Great hand speed. At 61 I trick for 30 seconds pause for 30 seconds, etc. you need slo-mo for sure with Adrian. :ani_giveup::ani_giveup::ani_giveup:
