does anyone else care about linear bar response?

[edt]

Unless you ride in some idyllic conditions where water is always flat, wind is steady withing 0.25knots and women's farts smell like flowers - the subject of this topic has no meaning.

lol thanks for your opinion.

I guess most people don't care about linear depower response.

The recent Kite-Mag tests actually had a section for it called "linear power on sheet" or something like that.

That is the most amazing set of reviews I have ever seen. It has everything I want! Power on looping, kite speed, and yes! Linear depower review. Awesome. It looks like they really did test all the kites thoroughly.

But no Ozone kites or boards.

Yeah sucks they left out Ozone. I would also take their "best of" summary at the end with a grain of salt. In my opinino the Pivot is the best all around and free ride, the RPM is the best freeride and freestyle, turbine wins in lightwind, Jaime Textreme should win the free ride awards. But the actual numbers they are listing like how the kite loops, how the boards go upwind and stuff, they agree pretty much with my own experiences. That's a ton of numbers to go through! Sooo much testing, good job thekitemag.

Why do you care? You should develop muscle memory so it just happens. Your arms do the right thing and it all happens by feel.

I ride too many different kites different brands different years c kites bow kites foil kites so I can't really get that used to one brand that might be have some weird handling quirks. For me I really want smooth linear depower. Maybe some day I'll have all brand new kites like maybe 2 enduros 2 rpms and 2 souls even if I had all new kites I couldn't stick with just one brand. I understand though if all your kites act weird but they are the same you get used to it

Strangely, all my kites work really nice and consistently without any quirks from 17m to 6m. Boring I know.

Strange concept for you I know, but all my kites work really nice and consistently from 17m to 6m. But hey, whatever turns you on.

that's the goal
