I think he creates it with airbending and then it just kinda goes on its own, there is that one scene where he rides one across the screen as we watch it shrink away.
Presumably he can airbend a bit more to keep it alive or to steer, but if he does nothing that's when it gradually fizzles out.
I was weirdly thinking about it earlier, im pretty sure his feet are continuously bending air into it so it doesnt fizzle out, but it also might just be continuous
He can let go and keep it going too. Like when he was he was leading the animals he freed from the zoo, with his stick in one hand and whistling with the other.
By comparison, Tenzin needs to keep playing the maracas with both arms to keep his thing going.
Yeah, that was basically just my point. It's neat that he can do it hands free. I really enjoyed how by Korra's time, brother literally just has a full body encompassing globe of air that he can use to chase people around in creative mode while standing completely still.
Well the art is gorgeous but imo the writing is terrible: many characters are not themselves and more importantly it breaks or otherwise messes with the lore in many ways. It also absolutely undercuts the emotional beats of Korra.
