The Gemini is a real legend! It haves been on the market since 1999 and they are sold all over the world many many many times! The bensontwins have been using the Gemini straight from the beginning and we are still flying it with lot's of fun. After one year of flying the Gemini we start making some adjustments to the Gemini, we started with a very small adjustment but it had great impact on backflip tricks. What we did was shorten the lines that connects the trickline to the standoff to 7 cm. By doing this the Gemini goes deeper in the backflip and it becomes easer to rollup because of the better pitching we also added yoyostoppers. In 2003 the UL Gemini was presented, the UL Gemini had a different bridle compared to the STD Gemini. The new bridle of the UL didn’t have the crossing lines any more, this made the bridle last a lot longer. The decision to transfer the UL bridle to the STD Gemini was made very quickly, and with some small adjustments it worked very well! In 2005 the Gemini had some factory updates, after some fine tuning by ABW and Tim, the new bridle, yoyo stoppers and the trickline adjustment are now factory setup. And the lowerspreader is changed to a 3 piece, this is a very good update because the connectors are fixed on the lowerspreader so they don’t slide off any more while doing multi lazy’s. With all these updates the Gemini started his second live and it’s still very alive among freestyle pilots!

Tricks we like on the Gemini:
The backspins and the backspin cascade, the Gemini is still one of the best backspinning kite! The crazycopter, we really love the crazycopter on the Gemini, it is very easy and it just looks so nice! Also flatspin tricks like the 540, slotmachine , axle's and double axle's are tricks we like on the gem.
