Purposely inducing a flat spin???

[AdD 1]

You can do a flat spin with your canopy too. It involves a rear riser stall, known as helicopters (helis) in paragliding I think. Theres video of TJ doing it on his vx on Radix if I remember right. I have done a bunch on my velo 103 and they are fun.

I wanna see more good video footage of it, i seen one vid and it just looked so strange, not what id expect a ram air canopy to do. Not many things make you sit up and say "hang on, let me see that again" but that did

Just bring your lower legs back in a bit and get them uneven ;)
That might help induce it a bit????

Maybe I have to focus more on that, I tried it with a center turn and I turned faster than I was used too.

As though back riser stalls aren't fun enough alone, I am eager to try this when I can go back in the sky. I will talk about it with a instructor. It sounds like a lot of fun.
