About the straps challenge... this is not fair... it'll take ages until I can get any close to doing the AVFF...FFF !!!!
Can't I get only one set of wrist straps for, say, a backspin? I still haven't started to try it even...
Cheers.

Sorry, no Wrist Straps for backspins, but with just 3 AVFFF you can win a pair. I think this trick can only be done with a Talon UL  ;) ;) ;), so you have the right equipment. This trick is easy, because the easy ones are all I can do. I am NOT an accomplished trick flier.

I loaded Windows 8 two weeks ago.  Last week taking it out.  I lost my C file and all my summer videos.  I always video when I fly to study.  Gone.  I was putting together a clip with all my FFF's from the summer gone.  Ara looks like me doing FFF's.  Running around.  hehehehe .

I found a couple clips of FFF's.  I like this one a lot but a little shaky !!


FFFF

Concerning the grip... argh. I tried to have the loops in my hands and one afternoon I lost grip off them twice... with the corresponding crash of the kite.

With a pair of these Split-Finger Straps you won't have to worry about the grip.

Yes, you've been flying a lot longer than Ara and you have an accomplished trick flier (Devin) to help you with ALL of your tricks. Good Luck Joe you only need 4 AVFFF's.  ;) :D

Hi!
(from Milano, Italy. I'm on a work trip and just arrived to the hotel... Imagine how insane I am that I'm already looking at the GWTW Forum!!!!).

Wow thanks! A challenge especially prepared for me!
What an honour.  ;D

I guess I have no way of escaping now...  ???
I have "the right equipment"...  ::)

So I have no excuse right?

OK, I've never rolled the kite on purpose, so I guess it's about time I start.
However, I cannot get the kite to fade yet...  :-[   :(

With the TalonUL I dive the kite, I flare it and when I try to pop it to fade, it stays in the flare...
This happens if I make a deep flare.
If I barely give slack and then immediately pop without allowing the kite to enter the flare, I can sometimes get the fade.
But doesn't last long.
So I guess I'll have to wait a little to get my set of straps...  ;)

But start preparing them anyway!  :D
