BEST bashes X-Bow: wow.
This is what someone very senior at BEST had to say about the x-bow:
* kite turns inside out (even with hard pumped bladder) * slides in the turns * kiteloop is a joke * no power in downstroke (or in any turn) * massive bar pressure * different to fly (not good different) * can't unspin the bar * sheet out & fall like a rock * zero hang time --------------------------- * But it's a good beginner kite (full depower) and great for learning handlepasses. He says "We prototyped a very similar kite over a year ago with the exact same results as the crossbow and decided not to pursue the design because it had too many disadvantages." Now I don't believe all this anymore than I believe all the hype about the BEST "you-know-what" (HF). But I do believe that the X-bow will not be perfect- no kite is- and that buyers of a first generation anything need to understand that there may be issues to iron out. That said I'm sure its got some great features. Can't wait to see one here- soon? |
