Comète

a.k.a. None


TP-USA Tricks Party Definition Group 4

The COMÈTE is a tumbling trick in which the kite rotates in a single direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise). In each rotation, the kite passes through roughly four positions: (1) belly down, nose away (flare); (2) nose pointing down and slightly to one side (approximately 7:00 for clockwise rotation, 5:00 for counterclockwise); (3) belly up, nose away (TURTLE); (4) nose pointing left or right (approximately 3:00 for clockwise rotation, 9:00 for counterclockwise). This series of four positions constitutes one rotation. The method and direction of entry and exit do not matter. Compare TORPILLE.
KEY ELEMENTS: ►Minimum 3 rotations. ►Constant speed.
