I have complained about the production of videos from the freestyle world tour on this forum before, which is why I wanted to point out this event, which I found pretty awesome. In the the GKA World tour at Sotavento, there was not only freestyle competition, but also strapless freestyle, a mixed bi...

Thanks for the video Taabsr. It highlights a potential problem that I have been neglecting. My setup is a Manera Exo harness with a Core short leash. exo front.JPG Exo back.JPG Core short.JPG As you can see from the images, there is no connection point in the front, and not really on the side either...

If I trim the lines without the pigtails, there will be a length difference of several centimetres between back and front lines as soon as I put the pigtails back on. My understanding is to trim the lines a...

So you suggest trimming with the pigtails. This is also what I thought would make the most sense.
Is it correct that trimming without the pigtails would let to a not correctly set up bar with the asymmetric pigtails attached?
