Thinking of upgrading, can anyone compare the two? Much of a difference in performance, jumping, upwind?
Cheers Murph.

Rode them side by side couple of months ago. First thing i noticed was way improved hangtime and lift. Don't know about upwind, for me they all go upwind
Other than that, it works as nice as the first gen.
Huge improvement on the bar as well. One of the best bars out there

Cheers mc8! Just as I thought nobody loved me! Anyone else? Have the 2010 Smoke and Boss, just got the 2012 Smoke which i am heading out for a session on today, but always found the Boss didn't go upwind very well?

Maybe you should try different settings ( you have upwind bridle option ), but i had no problems on a 5km upwinder ( although downwind was more fun
)
