OK boys and girls, man o man this was a lot of work and it came out better than I thought, but at 1am with no sleep in the last 41 hours, anything looks good :shocked2:


I hope this works.

Video on phone leaves a little to be desired :lol:

Looks pretty slick tho! I'll scrutinize it when I can actually watch it tho. Awesome idea.

Does it completely disconnect the kite? Or would it dump to a secondary safety before actually being "gone" from ya

Drew it dumps it all,you could still hang on and ride it out,but unharnessed.

the nail polish makes the rocks on my fingers stand out, don't ya think?

Thanks guys,
you can add some kS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s to the kite line as usual, I then connect the other end to the down tube as close to the fork as possible. That way the kite will not become lost in space but stay attached with the least amount of hassle with the kS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s not getting in the way.
A strap of velcro around the down tube holding the wrist straps of the kS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s in place work well.

Nice work! I think bbrex uses a system similar to this, or maybe he has his pulley on the buggy and qr ties to him.
