Flying Backwards with Twisted Risers - BANDARRA

I've seen people twist around when flying to look backwards or just for fun and I've been wanting to try that move.
Well this day was the day. The ridge was almost empty, there was plenty of smooth lift and a safe wing and this is what I found.
It takes a considerable amount of force to get twisted half a turn and to stay twisted. As soon as you let go of the risers the wing wants to spring you back to your normal position immediately!
However if you go for the full turn or more that untwisting force is much smaller and it's harder to get out of it. In a controlled environment I think it's really good to try these things as you learn what to expect in an emergency.
