I will start with my own tip ...

I don't actually know what this is called whether a "bounce back" or even a reverse split-s.  But it's when after you split-s over an object, say a tree.  Once you get upright on the other side side facing the tree, you blast back up over the tree in reverse.



I've been spending a lot of time on this trick.  What I've realized is the trick to it is to execute your "exit flick" *right before* the vertical point when coming back up and over your object.  At this point, you want to completely cut throttle after adding a very quick blip to keep your momentum.  With zero throttle, execute the snap roll to get yourself right side up again.

So you can picture this in your head.  With your camera angle taken into consideration, when your right at vertical staring down on your object, the quad is tilted upside down now with the thrust vector pointing away from the ground.  This is why you need to get your blip in and fully cut throttle before you get to this point.  Once you execute the snap roll, you suddenly go favoring upside down to favoring right side up with your thrust vector now pointing diagonally to the ground. In the video, I was very late on the execution and I'm actually surprised I didn't smack into the ground like I did 5 tries before this lol.

For a clean exit, you'll want to mix a slow, deliberate yaw with the super fast snap roll (kinda tricky at first) to get yourself now pointing in the same original flight path.

I've been doing tons of these in the sim at first to get the muscle memory going, then out in the field to remind myself how much sims suck (lol), finally get it down in real life, then back to the sim to figure out how to refine it.  Personally, I think it's a sick trick.  Just wish I knew what it's called lol.

Ok, now I wanna ask for help lol.

Matty flips. Is there like a tell tale point where you apply throttle to get you moving backwards again? Or am I thinking about this all wrong. I can get myself over the object and swinging back looking right at the object just fine. It's getting that reverse momentum going that I just can't seem to do. My exit would just be a simple yaw out of it. But I can't even get the speed to do that LOL.

A ronin rewind?

LOL thanks servo but I'm pretty sure I'm not the first to do this lol.

So I was studying Matty's video where he teaches Tommy his flip trick. Yea ... no help on that lol. Just spent tons more time in the sim. I think I got it but it is *highly* dependent on your camera angle (which makes sense). For me running around 30-35 degrees, I'm noticing that applyiong throttle well before I am *looking* vertical (so now my quad's thrust vector is diagonally up again which also makes sense). The timing is crazy for this trick and even when you got it, there's the issue of how you exit out since you are going backwards lol.
