The Solus is truly a "Freak" kite ... Roll up's anyone?

The input from yu guys is always welcomed.  Norm has been working with me on this for awhile.  I am so close to doing the Fade to a French roll over wrap.  Like I mentioned I have done them,but no Video.  Besides one or two is not doing "it".  Any luck I beat the snow on this trick... .

In the movie :Roaring Thunder with Tom Cruise he's a race car driver.  He and Devual have a problem.  He keeps crashing the car.  They figure out it's a matter of "Verbage" ... What does the Verbage mean.  Tug,pop,pull... That is the part that is confusing.  When I say I popped it.  What did I do
Is there a Kite Dictionary ....    Thanks for feed back.  Where's RobB

What hapen at 2:49 of the first video   I am just finishing a Fade and next I am moving horizontaly to the left and the Kite turns around  Very Strange ... 

I haven't a clue but I have been doing it since flying the Solus...

if your talking about right after the cut in the first vid thats an alternate roll up the solus likes to do.  You fly horizontal and do a snap turtle wit enough slack and it will roll up.

Awesome flying!
Im just learning too but what i find works best for me is to do your tricks near the edge of the wind window...that is if the wind is higher than optimum.
Sometimes you just cant give the kite enuf slack fast enuf
