From: reich@nosc.mil (Ronald S. Reich) Subject: "PoGo and Rainbow" Date: Fri, 8 Apr 1994 13:40:45 GMT "The Pogo Hop" Low Wind Stunt: Fly the kite on a low ground pass. Execute a series of "Tip Stands" that emediately bounce back into the ground pass. The appearance is that the kite is hopping along the ground on one tip. The flexibility of the leading edge spar accentuates the appearance. "Ride The Rainbow" From a "Tip Stand" pointing into the wind at one edge of the wind window, tweak in just a little lift and cause the kite to slide up the edge of the wind window. Slide it Up, Up, Up, and Over The Top, and Down, Down, Down, the other side to finish in a "Tip Stand" at the other edge of the wind window. "The Ultimate Side Slide" From a "Gound Pass Side Slide" that has traveled from one side of the wind window to the other, gently rotate the kite to point into the wind and continue the side slide into a "Ride The Rainbow". Learning this stunt may be easier with short lines. The ulitimate challenge is to see how many "Ultimate Side Slides" you can do without stopping. Still Learning and Sharing, Ron Reich
