  1. The snap landing is one of my favorite exercises. To make it astounding, do a power dive at top speed, then an aggressive rotation as close as possible to the ground, and land the kite on both lower wingtips at the same time. Careful: it's a risky exercise, because the aggressive rotation must be done as close to the ground as possible, and if you do it too close, you risk breaking a leading edge rod — the video shows the mistake. For me, it's a real rush of adrenaline and energy.
