Sam from Australia brought in Gina from Ireland for an MBA acro ride, now that's a gift! He asked me if I could demonstrate a stall/spin scenario and I assured him I could but that I wanted to make sure that was OK with Gina. She was "game" and after we released from tow at 8000' on a beautiful fall day with excellent visibility, I did some clearing turns, pulled the glider up into a stall, kicked left rudder and off we went into a spin to the left. Recovery into dive, then 120 mph 2.5-3g pull up and a loop. A hammerhead and some wing-overs were followed by a rest period and then Gina flew the glider around as if she had done it before this! She was all smiles and certainly enjoyed her flight:
