New tech kites are cool, HQ kites are awesome, The old Twister from Spectra is my favorite, but it is no longer made, the Maxi from Japan is really the best! Waku the maker rocks, he even wraps his own rods!
When you first start learning how to Axel, you'll spend alot of time unwrapping the line from your wingtips, eventually you'll be able to do it smooth, always axel twards the center of the wind window, and be patient, it takes some body english and a solid stall, if you ever get down to the Redondo beach Pier in California, stop by the kite shop, and I'll be happy to go out to the beach and show you how.
You have to snap your hands and move forard, if your kite still slides move your bridle up a quarter inch see if this helps, try stallind about 25 feet from center window, hope this helps
It all comes together with practice, some kites are more prone to wraps, at first I was walking to my kite so much to unwrap lines I was losing weight, alot of the flip tricks need body english, it will come, don't get discouraged, if you ever get around California, to the Redondo Beach Pier come to the kiteshop on the Pier and I'll go out to the beach and help you out..

@keviokevio The bridle or lines that connect to the kite are all on the front of the kite, at both sides of the top spreader, both sides of the bottom spreader, and at the center of the kite at the "T" fitting, hopefully this dosen't make you more confused :<)
cool, I think while I try to land my spider, I end up doing the side slide to the other edge. So do you just walk forward to stall? or is there something else to it?
Question from a kite novice, where are the 2 lines connected to on the kite? Is it the front and the back? Or somewhere near the middle on the sides..?
Randomly dope
Kudos +++++

Does the axle wrap the kite up in string? I don't get it....aggghh I was so content doing dives and flips why'd I look this stuff up.
