@ADLucio Well, to be fair, you are trying to make a huge deal out of something that everyone that is in the sport for some time already is aware off and accepted to be the reality of things. And no, that is not a broken kite or valve, its just incompatible with the pump-hose you happen to have. In ...

Sry but am I the only that is missing the review part here? Pump hose are a tiresome topic since day one, that differ for lots of manufactures.

Pay for a „part“ of the development, there is still ongoing costs for engineering, servers, administration all that ...

It’s another way of marketing. If you are a team rider you are cooler than others. And that always works 😉 Fully agree, but this alone doesn’t generate any revenue for the company... They do pay for their gear, right? “Teamrider” Yes you do and those riders are therefore called development team rid...

I don't think the vantage kite is something special it is just a kite it is more to collect data from the people who have them and feed that data in too their new software that they are developing that is probably the money maker behind the process once that is completed they try to license that so...

Wow those guys are so next-gen that you cannot access any of their products... have a good life... I predict it will be short. Who the hell wants to scan QR code’s when they are already on the website? Just because for whatever reason the website seems to be only optimized for mobile handsets yet...
