Itrix take off help

Do you think of a sleeping beauty where the kite is rotated (something like a half backspin) and then launched? I know that this move works with the ITrix, but I am afraid that I cannot explain it to you now.

I can try to make a short movie and to get some words of explanation next weekend when your problem is not solved until then.

Dear Tullo,
my experience with an ITrix is very limited, but the following should work - at least when your lines are not longer than 4 meters and the ground is smooth.
Try this:
Hold both line ends in your right hand and lay the lines throug the loop made by index finger and thumb of the left hand. Move backwards and spread your arms simultaneously, thus dragging the kite on the floor nose towards you and belly up and effectively shortening the distance between your left hand and the kite. When your arms are fully spread, move slightly counterclockwise and grip both lines with your left hand. Sling the kite into an up and over motion by swinging the extended left arm into a clockwise circular motion (backwards, upwards, forwards). As soon as the kite is airborne, carefully release the grip of your left hand, grab the left line end with your left hand and continue to fly.

Probably the above said sounds harder than it looks. E-mail me and I'll send you a small video of the move if you are interested.
Best regards,
scar

Hallo,

I think my brother Arne made a short video recording of this start last weekend. I hope that I can send/post it shortly (I have not seen it yet). Which yo-yo-stoppers do you have? Do you have these short parts of a flexible tube?
