Fade to pancake to fade to pancake .. is called flic-flac.

What about If I get the kite overrotating from the fade position? i.e. fade to backflip to fade to backflip.

The only way the kite is going to make this transition without passing through any other position or violating the Laws of Physics is with a Backspin-style rotation.

If you continue with a same-axis rotation past the Fade you're wrapping the kite, one way or another.

Sorry, my bad.  It is not a backflip.  I do not know what that position is called.  It is in a turtle position but with the nose pointing toward me instead of the wing tips.  So, when I overrotate my kite from the fade position, it will pass the pancake and get into that position.  It is much like the wap do wap without a spin.

That's still a fade position, though. It's just wrapped. Unless there's a specific name I don't know about.

Isn't this the same trick vertigo has been perfecting for a while? I think it was determined that it didn't have a name yet.

Yes it is, I just call it a 3/4 roll up and unroll, but everyone has multiple names for it.

There is no name, it's just a Wap Doo Wap without the rotation.
But, if you chain it, it's like a Flic Flac with a reversed Turtle (not easy to do).
Do you chain it or just make the first mouvement of the Wap Doo Wap ?

That is a Flip Flap (or Reversing Flic Flac).
