This tutorial from Kitelife.com details the inputs and approach used for executing the Flic Flac maneuver, one of the only main “slack line” or dimensional tricks possible with a Revolution.
This tutorial from Kitelife.com covers basic light wind techniques and how the Rev transitions between a powered state and gliding state, enabling anyone to fly in the lightest of winds, simply by cycling your ground space and know how to apply tension.
This tutorial from Kitelife.com introduces the techniques behind “3D Flying”, where the pilot is able to pull the kite of of the sky and catch it, then toss it back out to the end of the lines and fly, all without your kite even touching the ground!
This tutorial from Kitelife.com covers a series of exercises that teach the “Bicycle Rotation” wherein the pilot is able to rotate or spin their kite in place without losing altitude!
This tutorial from Kitelife.com covers the techniques for learning Reverse Flight and how to work toward a stable execution of this movement in the basic four directions… Reverse Flight is far easier to learn than one might believe, using minimized inputs and changing your point of reference with regard to the initial goals.
This tutorial from Kitelife.com details the dynamic of Sail Loading wherein the pilot is able to compress and decompress wind in the sail at will, using that pressure and added control to flex and unflex the frame, creating a far greater range of movement in varying wind conditions… One of the greatest uses for Sail Loading is that it also serves to minimize the amount of input required, instead relying on increased or decreased pressure to enhance smaller inputs.
This tutorial from Kitelife.com details the Side Slide from both the upright and inverted orientations… Side Slides make an excellent transition movement between other maneuvers, and it’s a lot of fun to slide right above the ground, apparently breaking the laws of physics.
This tutorial from Kitelife.com explains the theory and ideas behind tuning, giving you the basic understanding of how to tune lift, power, response and control to your own taste!
This tutorial from Kitelife.com explores the methodology and application of handle grip, body position and posture, as well as hand and arm position.!
This tutorial from Kitelife.com introduces some beginning techniques for mastering the inverted hover. Reputably one of the most difficult things to learn on a Rev, it’s absolutely simple to do once you know how and these techniques should help you understand it more quickly.
