My buddy and I had a brand called X-Shooter.

We developed in 2004 (!) a system, where you had suicide, but also a leash with a remote control...this means if you went unhooked, you had a release on your leash to activate the QR, so the kite would fully depower, but still be attached to you!

Still til today there is nothing like this on the market...that bar had everything...therefore we called it Masterpiece ;-)

Look at this video...minute 1:39


That's pretty damn awesome - we can only imagine how far advanced bars would have been if you could have got big backing for it.

Sorry it didn't work out - makes everything else look shit and how retarded big brands really are lol
