i've run an unhooked system with a push away safety where the CL breaks off. the solution i found worked the best was to run my suicide leash to the CL and then a second shorter leash from the CL to the 5th line. that way the kite won't flag when i miss tricks, but i have the option of engaging the ...
i just got 5 airush pulley bars with leaders/pully/depower strap for 5$ from real. the bummer was shipping at 15$ a piece to Canada, and they didn't come with harness loops though they're available for anothe 10$ or so.
