Hey Toby!
Thanks for taking the time to send such a detailed reply, you’re absolutely right. Hopefully, you didn’t take my last comment the wrong way, I was being genuine in terms of acknowledging your experience with different trick names. My next video (I think) will be about a double back roll where the first rotation is inverted and the second no and I finish the trick with a downloop to tell me ride away on landing. The description is a mouthful
do you know if that trick has a shorter name?
Again, thanks for the feedback previously and for creating such an awesome place for viewing and sharing kite content.
Cheers, Nick
Hi Nick,
not that I know of.
But, I am sure it is a double rotation...not Backroll
They all write it wrong. I know, because many years ago I was in doubt too, and ask on the forum, and I was explained by english natives that a Backroll is more a real roll, where the board is a bit higher (like the first low rotation with a forward moving kite we all do in the beginning).
And rotation is where you use the kite to jump and rotate on the vertical axis.
Then going inverted is a a inverted rotation (front or back).
But, there is a Stiffy ! So Inverted got called
Stiffy when you stretch yourself all the way.
What you describe I do as Front...and I call it
Front 720 Stiffy Tail Grab Downloop with grabbing the Tail in this video.
Looking forward to see yours, since I found the Back rotation with Stiffy a bit tougher to make it look nice. A front rotation with Stiffy is more stylish.
But you might just go inverted without being stretched all the way.
So, post it and let me see !
