Suuuuper stoked!! Been wanting to pull this trick for a long time now, collaborated with Michael Richter of Dream-Flight and we've had success!! Finally something truly new on the slope, I'm so happy!

Howdy,

Very nice indeed  :clap:  :clap:
That remind me of the "boucle tranche" experiments done a while back.
Saw a Toon almost performing one (I'm sure there is a video / report somewhere), and on top of my head, I think Pierre Rondel did it with a Voltij, but he might be able to confirm.

Another cool thing that came from these trials, is the "Falling Knife Edge", where you put the glider on the KE, and fall vertically  
As demonstrated in this Exca" Vs Voltij video (somewhere near the end)

If he did, he didn't mention it when replying to me about the vid. He did seem quite stoked though!

Yep been doing those since 2006 with Le Fish! Fun stuff

Next up, railslides and general tomfoolery at Long Beach on the weekend. My background in skate/surf/snow is showing through I think!
