Riser Turn - Skydiving (gambling)


A rapid turn initiated by pulling down on a group of lines, not just the rear steering line. A front riser turn is commonly used by experts to deform the normal canopy flight characteristic during a turn in order to build up more forward speed than normal, allowing the pilot to perform a turf-surf.
