Awesome wordreet! This is an advanced set of skills, but the Revolution is amazing at any level. The 'Dive-stop' is a basic skill that makes the Rev unlike anything you've seen before. Give my sister Lolly a call at the Rev factory (858-679-5785) and mention my name. She'll give you a special deal on your 1st Rev!
Love all the fantastic videos Joe! I'm so excited, I just ordered a super spider in Lime. I owned a Rev Backtracker back in the late 90's and that's my only Rev experience. I've been flying mainly dual line since then. Mostly Skyburner kites. About 6 months ago I got a Fulcrum by Skyburner and love it, but decided it was time to get another and I need a vented for high wind days. I live on Kauai and we have plenty of those. Can't wait to get it in the air! Thanks for all your instruction and helpful tips and tricks! Aloha!
Sorry for the late reply Joe, I've been out of town. Fantastic video!! Just what I needed to help me out with coordinating those spins and keeping them level! Thanks!
@3:21 How did you spin 6 times? I can only get 3 spins before my lines have too much friction and don't slide anymore. After 3 clockwise spins I'm doing 3 counter clockwise spins for sure to keep my lines from sticking and causing loss of control.
Yes @edmiddlebrooks1696, 3 wraps is my usual number to stop and start backing-out the spins. In general it is not a good habit to fly too much with multiple spins, because it just increases 'wear and tear' and shortens the life of your line sets. There are several reasons for high 'spin friction': 1) High wind causes more friction. 2) Old or worn lines will have more friction. and 3), sand from 'beach flying' can cause a lot of friction. Here is a quick video exploring twists: th-cam.com/video/5eSC-2VZtk8/w-d-xo.html
Superbe vidéo merci 🙏
Super interesting tutorial Joe. I am tempted!

@@jhadzicki I'm actually in the UK Joe, but we have one or two shops here that stock Revs.

Thanks Frank! Your Double Speed Master level M14 is awesome!
