The student pilot was giving rides to relatives and had successfully completed one flt during which the acft was stalled followed by a wing over and a dive. These maneuvers were repeated. Estimates of the alt by witnesses varied from 800 to 1500 ft. on the 2nd flt during a stall maneuver the acft entered a spin and impacted the ground in a left wing down, nose low attitude.
