Can you attach the kiteleesh to the chicken loop?

I'm wondering if this works?

You attach you kiteleesh to your chicken loop and then your harness.

The reason I ask? With this set-up I could hook in the chicken loop and untwist my lines just be spinning the bar.

man don't do this - in this position you couldn't depower the kite!! The issue in kite leash is that you live the bar away and kite leash pull only one line. But if you have some kind of eject in your chicken loop like in Naish or North bar it could work...

It depends what you meant by this.
My Stage2 Lock in Bar has a swivel between the power strap and the chickenloop so it unwinds in the manner that you describe. Take a look at one of them.

what you could do if you have a ss bar you could use your o shit leash
and add a extra kite leash to your depowerloop
but then you should only use this extra leash if nessasary but it is easy to use if your kite drops you can use the same leash to keep your board with you

many of the top riders now are riding with this type of leash for doing handle pass kite loop tricks. it is not the best for safety but does work if you are a good rider. Your kite never really depowers all the way.
