Taz Machine

Definition:

The TAZ MACHINE is a single 360° belly-down rotation initiated from a flare (belly down, nose away) that is entered from a horizontal line of flight. If the kite is pointing left on entry, the kite will rotate clockwise (as seen from above); if pointing right, it will rotate counterclockwise, turning back in the direction from entry.

Key elements:

Horizontal entry. Horizontal exit in opposite direction. Flat rotation. Only two inputs.

Judges view:

Flat rotation. Constant speed during rotation. Middle of wind window. Not losing height.

Most common errors:

Changes in speed and height. Trick executed near the edge of the wind window.
