Hello guys,
I would like to introduce to you our new EPIC Chicken Loop.
It took us 26 months of R&D to finally bring you our new Chicken Loop. Thanks to all of you, we were able to come up once again with such an amazing product.
The new XTEND BAR & CL will be available to the public by end of July beginning of August if everything is on schedule.
Also will be selling separately the CL with all its components in order to retro fit your 2010 or 2011 bar.

P.S. I hope this video bellow will give you a better understanding about our new CHICKEN LOOP.

Dimitri,

Could you use one to retrofit an Eclipse bar? Also is there any way to modify the lines so that a Thruster actually fully depowers when you punch out? Thanks

They look prety nice! Congrats!

but can I ask why not to use micro loop? iu would like to se it on more brands...

but I imagine that as a Old School rider, you made the stopper ball easy to adjust for bord offs!

looking forward to test them!

I had a chance to try it and claimed I could reassemble it in 1 second with one hand. Here's the proof.

I don't know if anybody has noticed, but Dimitri made a really smart move with the safety attachment - the way it's done, in a case when the chicken loop unhooks accidentally and you loose the grip - the kite won't get flagged! And i'm sure that happened to anybody at least once - one of the worst thing that could happen to you when you're in the wrong spot. And in a case of the intentional release - you flag the kite with no questions asked!

:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Dimitri,
Don't mean to be a nose-picking butt - really like the new bar arrangement except for the bar it-self, particularly - the center-hole, you do realize it will look like an old prostitute ofter first ride out and the covering material will start pealing really-really fast? Any plans for a better (larger) center-hole insert?

I had these issues back with other E.... bars, and had to re-glue the covering material around the center-hole every so often during the season. Sorry for bringing up the Ozone name again, but the way Ozone's center-hole is done makes it totally maintenance free:

Another question: have you kept the same adjustment range with the new bar ends?

Cheers,
Alex

Nice! Does it come in different loop sizes (big loop for people who like unhooked, small loop for people who want more depower travel) and is it sold as a separate accessory (chiken loop only, no bar & lines)? Thanks
