The diver enters a turning point without slowing down and
applies a resistant brake using one's upper body in the same
manner as with a closed turn. Once the diver's head is turned to
the desired direction, the diver slowly extends one's body
and gradually adjusts the position of the scooter to face that direction.
When doing this, the diver should slide one's upper body sideways to
gradually move toward the traveling direction.
Because this technique allows the diver to determine which way the diver
is going soon after entering a turn, it is useful for situations in which the diver
suddenly sees a target to aim toward.
This is a technique in which the accelerator 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 one's body at a slight angle and applies the brakes
using upper body resistance.
Once the body begins turning, the accelerator is shut off, reducing the propulsive force of the scooter to zero for a time.
While using the momentum to change the direction of the scooter, the diver shifts one's upper body to face the
desired direction and then stretches one's body in that direction. After the scooter has
changed directions, the diver switches the accelerator back on to start up again.
