If you’re going to do backloops, frontloops, downloops, darkslides, kiteloops - basically you name it, then having twisted lines and then flipping the bar to untwist them is something you have to get used to. I can’t even get my head around what you’re doing at the moment - sounds far more complicat...

Forgot to say I did something similar with my Lieuwe Shotgun although it was fairly mild, I just lightly sanded it then put the Duotone boardsavers over the top.

Just act grumpy all the time and complain about everything!
Oh sorry that’s whingeing advice.

Yep I shelled out for the Duotone stock on ones having made crap versions myself that I wasn’t happy with. They are a rip off but work very well.

Although it’s a similar shape to a Mako I really didn’t l...

If you want a considered response then perhaps start with a considered opinion. Is an entire town a piece of shit because you are unable to park what amounts to a bus without paying over the odds, in the midst of an extraordinary crisis which requires changes to the norm? How much does the parking e...

Way to tell everyone twice!

Ok sorry I’ve just seen what you’ve posted. If you put them the other way around then you’ve already got a knot and a loop so you don’t need to attach your pigtails. The loop with the black tag on represents whichever of your kite connections that needs a loop (ie has a knot at the kite end) and the...
