Drifting
The diver enters a turning point without slowing down and applies
a resistant brake using his upper body in the same manner as with
a closed turn. Once the diver's head is turned to the desired direction,
he slowly extends his body and gradually adjusts the position of the
scooter to face that direction.
When doing this, he should slide his upper body sideways to gradually
move toward the traveling direction.
Because this technique allows the diver to determine which way he is
going soon after entering a turn, it is useful for situations in which the diver
suddenly sees a target to aim toward.
Hairpin
Running at high speed.
This is a technique in which the throttle is briefly shut off before or during a turn, allowing the diver to drastically
reduce the radius of a turn.
It is used when the diver needs to change directions on the spot, much like making a flip turn in swimming.
In the same manner as making a closed turn, the diver turns his body at a slight angle and applies the brakes
using upper body resistance.
Once the body begins turning, the throttle is shut off, reducing the propulsive force of the SAV-7 to zero for a time.
While using the momentum to change the direction of the scooter, the diver shifts his upper body to face the
desired direction and then stretches his body in that direction. After the SAV-7 has
changed directions, the diver switches the throttle back on to start up again.
