Chistian,
Keep working on the flic flac's with your Pyro and you will be able to perfect them on the Techno very quick! The Techno was made for them!

Your in for a treat with that one and you wont have to look for it in the bottom of your bag...cause it will always be on or near the top, no matter what color it may be...haha...sorry had to say it.

Nail down that flic flac until you can do it anytime on demand and as low as you can. Ever see someone flic it a couple inches off the ground and back to a rising fade and do it again? 540's come pretty easy when you can control a "pancake". Work on different speeds of tricks...slow controlled tricks are mesmerizing.

Try not to get caught up in this "I got to be able to do every trick in the book" They will come in time. Not much will get your attention or their attention quicker than some perfect 90 degree turns into squares in both directions or perfect snap stalls. Everyone claims to do all the "tricks" but how many have taken the time to perfect those tricks and their flying?

Try taking some music to the field and fly to it...it helps to find the "zone". Old School should should have a place in everyones bag. "cool stuff" also!

Master the basics and the rest will come.

I looked on ebay today and found 2 techno ambients, one for 60$ and one for 65$ both are being sold new from kite shops. and one of them is where i got my pyro xs from, it was shipped same day and i got it in 3.
Ill always look there first from now on..but i ordered from him because i thought i was getting an ambient.

im still not good at all at spin stalls, snap stalls or side slides. need to work them out.
