This was I broke my wings so pound the rudder practice day, "everywhere" is rudder usage, Can't wait to get back to my Extra. Guys... this is awesome rudder practice and it "does" translate to your powered planes! I measure all of my past aircraft via how much they taught me, Le Fish is possibly #1 and still tallying up. "Gliders teach you more than you know" pun ha ha.
Yes I'm doing the Harrier roll "stir" on the sticks; Most of those are Glider Style Harrier rolls indeed
Double flips: when you miss'em it's a long "nothing you can do fall". They're relatively easy but like everything else "technique is required": I got going "with the wind" too much on the ending crash-clip which means that I full-pulled way late which "flipped" my momentum into a "downwind" which is basically a "controls are dead" w/zero "airspeed" situation: I also tried to bail out way to late which actually stymied the rest of any rotational momentum that I "had". That was an ugly lesson!
The answer is: find "full pull" before you reach the straight up vertical position, otherwise your flip "throws you downwind": not good! Full pull from dead level to about 90 degrees straight up is OK past that gets dicey. Sub-note: varying entry airspeeds have varying effects that're hand in hand with this too. Experiment and "Build-Experience" at altitude: when missed by just a-little it's a-long ugly fall. lol
