If you need any help with spanish just type and I will try to traslate in stunt-kite terms.

Elchiquitin,
Very nice video.
You shouldn't need to translate, as this one is also available in English, and is accessible by clicking on the UK flag.
Ricardo's moves are a little different from those in Robert's video - there does not appear to be "a slight pause every two inputs to give slack to the kite". I wonder if it has to do with the kite. - It's an Eolo Over? - We have one hanging in the garage, which has not been used much as we did not get on with it at the start and spares for it are very difficult to get in the English speaking world, so we are scared to break it, so I am wondering if the detail of the inputs are kite dependant?
Yes the kite is an eolo over, indeed it has a very fragile spares, everybody who has one here around, spends a lot of time changing these spares, but they are cheap in Spain. I have fly a little bit an Over and it is an easy kite so the movements you can see in the video not special for this kite, same position but perhaps with an over you have more range to avoid fails, it depends about you kite, generally if you are able with a cascade, then the same kind of movements are for the comete with a different order but similar touch. I have seen Ricardo's comete with 25 km/h and it is the same as Roberto's video, just with the over the wind perhaps is smother.
I am now studding as you the comete, I will try one, and after improving it I will try to chain two.
Good Luck.
