i thought i'd heard that too, but there are a few times in the video you can clearly see it's not (unless they aren't using the new bar in the vid)

The blue/ teal/ white scheme doesn't look so bad. I bet it looks real nice on the snow. I don't really like white too much on kites either, but the
Charger seems to pull it off nicely. Also, 30 Seconds to Mars was a great choice for the music in the video. Great video.

Just clearing up bar related questions, the Charger (complete version) will be delivered with a completely redesigned bar system, but the production
bars where not yet available for the video.
More info about the bar will be released soon.
We will do the Charger in 6m and 24m, 6m for those mental days and the 24m is going to be produced in limited numbers.

I must say the relaunches / launches look WAY different than my experience reflects? Is there something about the kite / bar that changes the launch /
relaunch?
