With the kite vertical, pull the upper arm while taking a few steps backward, and take off. For the curved side slide, accelerate slightly with the left handle and brake slightly with the right one while slowly pushing out the right arm. Halfway through the curve, push the right arm further and start pulling the left arm, landing in the vertical position. For the second hop, pull the left arm and take off; brake slightly with the right handle and accelerate slightly with the left while slowly pushing out the left arm; halfway through the curve, push the left arm further and start pulling the right one, landing vertically.
