Revolution Kites tutorials: Joe Hadzicki's videos

Revolution Kites has been publishing videos on YouTube since 2019. The channel mixes brand promotion with real tutorials; we kept only the latter: 108 videos on flying, setup, lines and care, presented by topic. Festivals, travel, product news and sales videos stay on the YouTube channel.

A big thank you to Joe Hadzicki and Revolution Kites for all these years of videos and tutorials shared with the community.

For every video you will find what Joe says as text; for 102 of them it is split into chapters: click a timestamp to jump to that moment in the video. The other six are mostly demonstrations, with only a few spoken lines. We start from YouTube’s automatic captions, cleaned up. Joe is the voice in all the videos unless the text says otherwise. A few passages that the captions recognised poorly were reconstructed from context: when in doubt, the video is the reference. Alban Kites translated the French version.

Joe Hadzicki is the inventor of the Revolution, Revolution Kites’ four-line kite. He is also the author of the 19 Revolution techniques and the host of Club 38, the brand’s level-based path.

• Moves shown in flight by the inventor of the Revolution, with common mistakes and how to fix them.
• Answers to pilots’ questions: line and handle length, light or strong wind, launching, care.
• Short videos that are easy to rewatch in the field when something is stuck.
• A direct link to Club 38: many videos complement it.

• The videos are in English, with measurements in feet, inches and miles per hour.
• It is a manufacturer’s channel: its advice on choosing a model compares the brand’s own kites and is not neutral (see Choosing a model).
• Almost everything is shown on Revolutions (Reflex XX, Blast…): adapt the setup and line length if you fly another four-liner.

If you do not know where to begin, these six videos give the essentials:

• Get Your Rev in the Air: The Basics: setting up the lines, launching, stopping, coming back down: the essentials for a first flight.
• Common Rev Problems for Beginners, with Solutions: common beginner problems and their solutions.
• The Revolution launch: 6 key techniques: six launching techniques.
• What Is the Wind Range of My Revolution? Tips and Tricks to Increase Your Wind Range: a Revolution’s wind range and how to widen it.
• Revolution Line Management for Your Rev Kite: unwinding, winding and managing your lines.
• Revolution Reverse Flying: Tips from the Inventor: the inventor’s tips for mastering reverse flight.

Club 38 offers a level-based path with personal feedback from Joe. The videos on this page are open to everyone and do not require a Revolution: a good way to dig into a move between two levels. For the historical exercises that came before the club, see the Revolution techniques.
