It is a very easy kite to do tricks with. It axels with ease, double axels, cascades, 540 flat spins, and I'm sure several other tricks I haven't learned yet. And I'm not that good of a flyer! If you want a good trick kite, buy it.

Its very easy to stall ... when you want to, and performs most tricks really well. It seems to prefer a very steady wind, on a beach is a good place with a wind from the sea. That said I usually fly in a local park with buildings all round the edge and loads of turbulence and its still really good. Try flying it on nice sort lines arround 40 foot works well. I'm still learning trick kites but would very much recommend it. I have just bought a Reflex which is the smaller brother/sister to the Box of Tricks. Its a lot like the BoT just a bit faster and is possibly slightly easier to stall. -- David Fox = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
