This new rapid descent technique was first discovered by our Niviuk The action of reaching for the outermost A-lines to make ears, can team pilots in 2009 while flying a competition prototype wing, which, because of its line plan and high aspect ratio would not allow big ears to inadvertently mean pulling the brakes.

    With the current 2 or 3-liner wings, the inability to pull big ears, or To enter this manoeuvre, the B-risers are gripped below the maillons and the risk involved in doing so, concerns many pilots who want to have symmetrically pulled down together (approx. 20-30 cm) and maintained a controlled rapid descent technique.
