If you at the same time want a helmet that looks cool, get the Sweet Rocker. Have no idea why they put on that visor on all the models for 2010, but they are removable... A bit expensive, but why compromise with your safety and good looks :D Found a site where you can see the visor removed: http://c...

1. when deploying the safety, the line pulls through until the frontline stopper ball hits the bar hole and stays put. This only "shortens" the front line it is attached to by around 8 inches, which does sweet f#&@ all when depowering the kite. 2. the swivel cannot turn when doing rotations as the ...

That would be great, no doubt about that!!! Throw in a handle pass back roll board off during a mega loop, then everyone will be pleased;) Especially if wearing boots

No, of course not, that would make the RPM have 5 struts... I'm talking about the 5 struts seen in the att...
