Re: F-One bladder issues (again :( )

Are these valves in this video the most current ones used by fone? Any other brands using them? It looks like it is only yellowed where the hose covers the nipple, not the whole valve. Makes me wonder about things. Like are the hose and nipple not compatible materials? If these are the new updated v...

Re: Airush bladder valves failing

Not airush but…
Look at the cracked valve in this video. Similar to your airush ones?
It is yellow ONLY where it was covered by the hose.
…Could it be that the different hose and nipple materials are not really long term compatible?

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

Ahh well, it says in there.. 4m-17m
Seven models. SEVEN.
Surely one of them
Is really big
But
No

Will be interesting to see at any rate, what kind of kite/s they went with at the 17m size.

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

What about Gong, they are about to release a bunch of new kites soon. I emailed them to ask about any big sizes coming and they said … have to wait for release to find out. They made the strutless 19m last round, so they are not afraid to do things that other brands don’t… They certainly have the pr...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

For the twintip riding trends overall we are coming out of the “pop ‘n drop” freestyle era, and entering an airstyle era of lift, loft, and float. Airstyle has become an integral part of the big air competition scene, as we are all aware. Generally speaking, airstyle is easily now the most dominant ...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

Yes, I have the v9 (2017?) edge 19m and can confirm it weighs 4.7kg. This is with new ozone bladders that use the new large diameter onepump hoses and nipples. This kite uses double ripstop canopy, which at this size also definitely adds weight over the classic single ripstop canopy material. Agree,...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

I reckon designers would love to work on this. This kite is an item that would showcase a designers skill, and also showcase new material advantages. Its a win win. What the designers need is the go-ahead from the brands. That will take certainty of profitability, which I think is there. Its their j...

Re: 20m LEI Kites - Its Time

go with the flow. 🐑 🐑 🐑 🐑 … No. We are just asking for one more size lei kite for those who do definitely want it. But that seems to make some people think we don’t know any better, or are nuts or wrong or weird or whatever. Its just one more kite size, in a world full of kite sizes and models for ...
