Beginner Switch

Difficulty: Beginner

Trick Type: Powerloops

This move is the entry-level version of a power switch, accomplished by executing a maverick loop, stall, and rewinding over the object with a beginner matty. Begin by flying under the object. As you pass it, gradually pitch back and increase throttle so that you pass over the top of it while facing forward and flying backward. Once you’re past the object, increase throttle to come to a stall and then rewind back over the object by increasing throttle again. Finally, decrease throttle as you pass over the top of the object again, and adjust your pitch back to fly beneath the object while maintaining backward motion.

Stall Rewind

Difficulty: Beginner

Trick Type: Rewind

Begin by ascending towards an object standing at least 10ft tall, then cut your throttle to stall just before reaching the object. Descend back down and gradually boost your throttle, retracing your initial path downward. Your flight path should resemble an exponential curve.

Face Punch

Difficulty: Beginner

Trick Type: Miscellaneous

Fly straight into your face!

Gaps

Difficulty: Beginner

Trick Type: Gaps

Fly through a small and enclosed gap.

Knife Edge

Difficulty: Beginner

Trick Type: Gaps

Approach an object or gap that’s roughly 2-4 times the size of your whoop. Execute a precise 90° roll just before flying through the gap. Then, roll in the opposite direction to level out and successfully finish the trick.

Wall Tap

Difficulty: Beginner

Trick Type: Wall Tricks

Begin by flying toward a wall and execute a 90° pitch back while simultaneously cutting the throttle. Gently tap the wall, and then perform a 90° pitch forward to level out and fly away.

Wall Ride

Difficulty: Beginner

Trick Type: Wall Tricks

Begin by flying towards a wall. As you’re just a few inches away from the wall, perform a 90° roll away from it, and immediately cut the throttle to glide smoothly alongside the wall. Then, roll to level out and conclude the trick.

Building Dive

Difficulty: Beginner

Trick Type: Wall Tricks

Begin by flying towards a building, and increase throttle to gain elevation. Once you’ve reached your desired height, preferably 40ft or more (12m+), cut the throttle and pitch down to start the dive. Then, pitch back to level out as you approach the ground. The closer you are to an object during the dive, the more visually appealing the trick becomes.

Cinnamon Roll

Difficulty: Beginner

Trick Type: Jump Ropes

While this trick is easy to perform, it is difficult to explain. Imagine this trick as if you were performing an orbit while flying over an object for half of the orbit and back under an object for the second half of the orbit, all while maintaining visual site of the object that you’re orbiting.

Approach the object and turn 90° before passing under it, then simultaneously begin your orbit while you increase your throttle so that you can pass over the object while keeping your camera pointing to the object that you’re flying around. You should be about halfway done with the orbit (facing backwards from where you started) as you pass the top of the object. Then begin to lower your throttle and continue the second half of the orbit and time it so that you finish the orbit as you pass back under the object.

Jump Rope

Difficulty: Beginner

Trick Type: Jump Ropes

As you approach an object, initiate a 90° yaw spin while applying throttle with a slight roll toward the object to fly over it. At the peak of the jump, gradually reduce the throttle and add a small roll in the opposite direction to descend down the other side of the object.
