Need some advice on kites
I know this will be a hot topic but I need some opinions from everyone,.
I don't care if you sell kites, rep them, or just ride them. I'm looking for a lot of feedback here. besides a C kite, what are some good kites to do unhooked tricks with? Simple enough question, right? Lets hear what you guys have to say! |

Nothing, I've never riden a C kite and I'm pretty satisfied with the depower and safety of bow style kites...

Flexi ION, new 2008 waroo are two nice ones I've ridden and liked how they felt unhooked.
I learned to ride unhooked on my 06 waroos (probably one of the worst kites for freestyle).. I wouldn't consider it a "good" kite for unhooking but the large depower range made it easy to get hooked back in without loosing too much ground. I think it's more about the rider than the kite when riding unhooked, but I know Scott will argue with me on that. |

Switchblade 3, you can't go wrong with that unhooked....... maybe you could get Steve-o to let you demo one

Does anyone here think riding with a 2:1 vs 1:1 bar setup has any effect?

I thought Switch 3's were only 1:1 bar setup?
or do you mean " how does the xbow 3 go unhooked? " ?

Just in general how does the 2:1 vs 1:1 effect unhooked tricks?

No sure it does at all... other than how the feedback from the kite feels.
Josh may have an answer to that one... he rides Cab. |
