Club 38 Member Seth Learns the Reflex Catch and Throw by Revolution Kites

A dual-line pilot moving to the Rev explains what he finds in it, then tries the catch and throw with the Reflex.

From the series Spins, hover and reverse. Transcript by QuadKites.org.

Key takeaways from this video

For a dual-line pilot, the Rev brings total control without running around: it stops, reverses and spins on the spot naturally.
With the Reflex, the Rev floats, which opens up tricks such as the catch and throw.

Seth's switch to four lines

Joe: Hi, I'm Joe Hadzicki, inventor of the Revolution, and today we have Seth, one of our Club 38 members, with us. He's actually a two-line pilot and he's converting over to the four-line Rev. So what was it that got you into the four-line thing from two lines? Seth: Well, I don't like running around so much, which is what you need to do with two lines to do all the tricks. With a Rev you get full control, and you can basically tell a story while you're flying the kite. I find that harder to do with a two-line kite. I never really got the slack-line tricks down, and that's really where they excel on the two-line, but the Rev just inherently stops, reverses and spins. It's just a characteristic of the kite, and that's what I really like about it. And it floats, and it floats, and it floats.

Joe: So you're talking about the skill you've been working on and trying to get down. What is that? Seth: The catch and throw with the Reflex. It kind of floats around. Joe: Let's give it a try and see how you do.
