monkey Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 hey there, how about practice it over and over and over again? Okok, thats pretty simplistic so here's what I did (and continue to do) With the kite on the ground, leading edge down, practice simply coming up about a foot, and then holding it there for a period of time. Slowly drop back down, and repeat this, over and over. Another thing that can help is to move the connection point on your handles a little closer to the handles. This gives it more reverse, which makes the learning curve a little easier. See below for an article on handle tweaks : http://www.kitelife.com/archives/issue43/r...ons43/index.htm Finally, one thing I do every time I am out as a warmup, I cross the window from left to right in reverse, and then back across, right to left, as slowly and as unwobbley as I can. Hope it helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Monks, want to simplify that a little? Alejandro's English is not as strong as ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrunya Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hi i'm having some problems with the Reverse flight, how i can improve this, i'm new in rev fly. Alejandro - ATEMOC.com This is fairly simple... I just practiced hovering the kite in the air for a while, then start t do a little bit of movement.

KiteLife Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Exactly Watty, best way to learn. There's some info about hovering in the new B-Series DVD insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Any idea when the DVD will be available John? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 It's going out with B-Series Revs as we speak. Just became available last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdenny Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Is this the dvd with the advanced stuff in it? I would like to get a copy. Should I just call Rev? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Is this the dvd with the advanced stuff in it? I would like to get a copy. Should I just call Rev? I'm 99% sure he means the B Series specific DVD. The new Advanced one is slated for later this year. However, I've seen the B Series DVD and there's some great stuff on it.

KiteLife Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Monkey is correct... This is the B-Series insert, not the "big" advanced DVD. However, I do cover hovering, bicycle rotations, clockwork turns and the axel in this DVD... And there's a ton of HOT footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdenny Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 All good stuff but where do I get the dvds? Rev direct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidsol Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I need to get one of those video's my B-series didn't have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hopefully they will be available Sidsol. I am waiting for my B's but am fairly sure will not have DVD as they were despatched a couple of weeks ago. Wonder if there is any chance of having them sent out like back dated or should that be forward dated? to those who didnt get them with the B's.

Stephen Hoath Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Hi Alejandro, are you going to the festival in Valencia in a few weeks time? If not why not, it's great? Anyway, I will be there with my team so please come and say Hi and we will try and get you flying backwards and hovering etc etc. Look out for the pale English guys on the beach with the Blue, White & Black Revs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitezen Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 i dont know why but for some reason i really like the red white blue 1.5 the new version i think im going to order a vented version We will have to talk about that cause, when I was opening my new B last week, Liz asked if this is it for kites, gee I had to tell her no, but I can get by for awile if I had a vented rev too. Well I can wait till my B day in July so, I'll have it for vacation in Aug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
