To keep the nose from dropping during wing tip stands...

	Assuming the kite is standing on the RIGHT wing tip,	
	push your left hand forward to hold the stand.
	Use your right hand to set the desired nose angle.

With this technique you can get the kite to, almost, lay flat on
it's back while holding the tip stand.  You can also angle the nose
up or down without losing the stand.  Just make sure that you PUSH
the UP WING away from the wind.
