roy.. secret to landing the 720 is when to pull the front hand to ensure you have the proper momentum to come out of it. i hit it about one out of every three.. i tend to not pull enough for fear of unintentionally looping the kite (been there.. done that)... so i either hit it or come out of it without power.

keep hands tight together on bar, lift and spin.. keep bar completely still through the first rotation.... and as soon as you are completely 1 rotation around and still spinning strong begin to pull the forward hand and just think and look for your downwind landing..

i hit a few soooo damn smooth yesterday and its just a great feeling...
