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 :

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!

Monks, want to simplify that a little?

Alejandro's English is not as strong as ours.

[ATEMOC]

That would be great thanks.

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]

Exactly Watty, best way to learn.

There's some info about hovering in the new B-Series DVD insert.

[Baloo]

Any idea when the DVD will be available John?

[Kitelife]

It's going out with B-Series Revs as we speak.

Just became available last week.

[MrDenny]

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]

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.

[MrDenny]

All good stuff but where do I get the dvds? Rev direct?

[stryker2]

The B series is on my wish list for the fall

[antman]

same here striker

[Sidsol]

I need to get one of those video's my B-series didn't have one.

[Baloo]

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.

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
