Greetings all,
I had the opportunity to ride the 17m 2016 bandit (9?) a few weeks back and was impressed. The lift and hang time were exceptional. I don't recall the exact speed but I was super powered up while still comfortable and able to dig an edge. It's probably not designed specifically for Airstyle (turns a bit faster) but I was thinking that I could slow the turning speed by using my North bar with it set to the smaller kite setting.
The only issue I had is that on a few tricks or boosts I tended to rotate a bit underneath the kite. Meaning, if I would boost left foot forward, my body would start to rotate towards the kite to the right and would mess me up a bit. This obviously is a pilot error and not the kite...I just need to get acclimated to it.
Has anyone used the 17 Bandit for any airstyle ? Any input is appreciated.
