Torpille

 

Definition:

The TORPILLE is a tumbling trick similar to the COMETE but more smoothly flown. It begins near the top of the window with a hard HALF AXEL pop to knock the kite onto itsback, followed by an opposite pop to bring the kite onto its belly, then another HALF AXEL pop to bring it onto its back, and so on. The kite tumbles from back to belly as itdescends.

Key elements:

Clean rotations. 45° descent. Minimum three rotations.

Judges view:The 45° line down, 3 rotations minimum. Constant tempo.

Most common errors:Wrong timing, uneven descent.
