Piroing loop
Did you ever notice that a flip and a loop are almost the same thing? Take the speed out of a loop and you've got a flip (or, a crash :D) Simple as that.Similarly, a piroflip with some speed turns into a piro-loop. The lower half is quite easy, you'll probably do it many times when practising piroflips (the heli bounces up and down). The upper half is more challenging, because
- we need momentum to carry the heli across the top
- and then we're heading towards terra firma while piroing
In the same way that stall turns are very good homework for loops, we prepare for piroing loops with a piro stall turn.
