Thanks Karel!You are so right about that nasty habit of pulling across in front of the body - my only reference when starting out was the video that came with the stranger. Nobody around to tell me otherwise and now it is firmly etched into my memory. Have to try and re-learn it all, maybe I'll try some sort of restriction with those elastic rubbers used for medical rehab...
haha, yes tie your upper arms to your chest with a belt! 
It's all Paul Latham's fault! Andy Preston didn't do it!
Über Backspin & co brauche ich nicht mitzureden, aber dennoch mal bewegte Bilder, damit auch diese Farbvariante mal mehr zu sehen ist:

Cool! I have to try a SUL at some point. The UL goes very low allready.
As a extra tip to add to the advice from the other comments: try not to cross your arms in front of you when doing axels and 540's. I did this as well when i came back into kite flying because it was the way a few pilots in the oldschool trickvideo's did the inputs. It works for some tricks but it will really restrict you when learning other stuff. It takes a while to unlearn, but it's worth it!!
Backspin sind 3 Wiederholungen
A backspin is a backspin. If you refer to the TP rules: Minimum three rotations is BackspinS:

The picture on the website is not correct. It's not hollow.
Short video of the Escape flown by Lars:
Quicky #1: Lars | Escape STD | IckyTV
Lars flying the Ulzburger Kites Escape Standard at the Zandmotor beach. The Escape is a open source kite designed by Birger Garbe. Great tracking, slow flight/good speedcontrol and huge wind window. The feedback is very consistent and even in stronger winds it doesn't pull very hard. Build one! You won't be disappointed.

Carlo hatte eindeutig das bessere Wetter. Es war in St. Peter Ording kühl und nebelig. Die Segel waren in der Luft recht feucht.
Wir hatten sehr konstanten Seewind, knapp unter 20km/h. Was Carlo schreibt, habe ich gestern auch merken können:
Der größere ESCAPE hat doch spürbar weniger Zug entwickelt, als der kleinere RETURN. Ich fand den ESCAPE bei der Windstärke angenehmer.
Still a cool picture!
Had some more flying time with the Escape STD in different wind conditions. This is such a solid kite! I love how it behaves both in light and stronger winds. Great tracking, slow flight/good speedcontrol and huge wind window. The feedback is very consistent and even in stronger winds it doesn't pull hard.
I love the taz, multilazy and comete, but almost everything is nice.
Only thing we struggle with it Spikes. Can't get them very consistent on the Escape. Maybe because of the Aurell LE.
Nice! Added to the builds page!
Winter in Holland! Finally some snow, ice and nice wind to enjoy. Brought the Level One BadAss ultralight sportkite to Boezempolder for a morning session after ice skating. So much fun on the lake!
Another small video from my Terschelling trip. This time i fly the MugenKites Ziggy STD. Winds were a little offshore and bumpy but the weather was great! The Ziggy is a solid kite, love the way feels in flight and tricks. The Nitro frame works realy well. Thanks once again to Gabor for providing a kite for me to test for a while.

Looks like a 81% version of the Unik/Baz.
That's true also. not much difference. But Tim keeps his prices around the 255 pound mark, which is a good price point IMHO.
I hope the price stays in the Benson range, so below €300,-
300+ would be too much for a 190cm kite IMHO.
Something new from France! Great video included.
Nom : Antidote
Envergure : 190cm
@karel_oh i'll take a nice picture outside and post it here for your building page.
Thanks a bunch! Trying to keep all the builds of open source kites up to date.
A very nice Escape in slate, light grey, dark grey and technic icarex build by Krijn for Ronald Kuijpers.
Correction: the middle part is not Light Grey... it's the new Middle Grey Icarex.
