around the world. In the winter we run courses in
Nepal.

- "In 2002 I discovered a much more dynamic and cleaner variation of the Mc Twist, which we now call the ?Misty Flip. But it was Swiss pilot David Arufat who amazed everyone at Vertigo that year when, during his sequence, he hit the brakes earlier than normal whilst entering a SAT and discovered the Rhythmic SAT, which instantly became the top manoeuvre and the one everyone wanted to master."
