thanks for the replies.

i've gotten that one before. but.
the crazy copter does it not back spin? please could you expand on your reply? is it that it doesnt meet TP rules? are you saying its not a CC because of the orientation? you wouldnt be the first to say it, ive passed a separate video with a different kite, same trick around to some of the french flyers and was critiqued for that one also. some got it some didnt. one critique was that the CC is a direct center trick anything off center is not a CC period. another was entry related. another was exit.
i accept that stuff, BUT its the same input as the cc and does the same thing. just orientated sideways. same one pop down, same one pop spin. so i guess calling it the 360 fade-spin might just sound a bit misleading.
but it does slide off the tongue pretty easy.

unfortunately. i am stubborn man and going by way of the "wrong realities" defense of who are THEY to tell ME i cant name my cat, dog?
i am sticking with "horizontal copter" when the guy next to me asks wtf was that? its just easier to explain. at least until someone else convinces me it aint. then it may become the 360 fade spin.

edit: i actually like the "360 fade spin" name so, heres another video of it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA1L6gB4fQ8

piero please please expand on the backspin thing? love to hear your comments.

"Horizontal entry and exit"
yeah man, i got that part....thanks.
is that fly in from either direction? (fly in left leave right? fly in right leave right?) just as long as it is horizontal?
Cool....


any help would be appreciated.
cheers.

Green does look nice on any kite in my opinion. Of course it's personal, but I'm not sure why people have a general rule of disliking green!
