Looking at some of the pics that have come out of the recent comp in Sylt I am seeing photos of a lot of the top guys using really long trim straps. There is a good vid of Adam Koch (i think it was an ad for some fins or something) and he is riding along trimming the kite with 1 hand on the bar and 1 hand on the trim strap and playing both of them almost constantly......anyone know whats up with that??
At first i thought it would be so that he can keep his body further outboard but then i noticed he is ridding most of the time with the bar all the way out anyway. My second thought was that it might be so he can do bigger adjustments quicker but if you look carefully he is running it through pulleys so it would give smaller and slower adjustments than moving the bar would do.
So what am i missing????
