Completely. I've been geeking on free ascents lately. Love them.
Being able to hover without moving and nailing down the back kick have been my biggest focus lately.
For me, to quite down my happy feet, I had to get my trim absolutely perfect. Once my trim was good I didn’t have to constantly twitch my feet to maintain trim. Simple moving my backplate up a slot - lowering my doubles - was enough to get my trim dialed in which got me to a point where I could hover without twitching.
Now that I have a quasi back kick I do it all the time. It has so many uses, doing face to face drills with a buddy if there is any current, keeping from drifting into the anchor line on ascent, as brakes when you want to stop your forward momentum. I now understand why everyone always made it out to be such an important kick.
