Re: Big air kites blank test
I do like this format a lot. Love the clip of Giel watching the drone on his way down!

Re: Big air kites blank test
I sure hope it's not the Ocean Rodeo Giel Vlugt Pro model....
Will be interesting to see who made that stinker.

Re: Big air kites blank test
I'm pretty sure it's Collin's design made as a joke to confuse the pros a bit and see their opinion.
It's interesting to know where and how did he actually made it.

Re: Big air kites blank test
I have to say the black kites amongst all the other kites look pretty cool

Re: Big air kites blank test
Interesting how Lenten talks about the F-One Trigger vs how Vlugt and Jacobs describes it. Good example how subjective these things can be - even if they seem to agree more on the three other kites.

Re: Big air kites blank test
Could be that he thought it was the Ozone edge and wanted to talk up his brand? From his view flying the kite in a solid color, the profile looks identical. Just a thought.

I couldn’t say, but it seems quite clear to me that he recognises the Edge when they cut him off?Kiterisland1 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 27, 2022 2:48 pmCould be that he thought it was the Ozone edge and wanted to talk up his brand?

Credit to Ozone by the way. I don’t think the Edge will ever be a kite loved by pros (or those who want smooth looping), but it is a kite were the characteristics are easy recognisable. Vlugt and Jacobs talk about it in very similar way. And it is a very good kite for us without world class skills that just want to jump.

Re: Big air kites blank test
The issue is that it really isn't a blind test at all. The materials are a huge give away along with the inflation systems and embossed valve fittings. Even the bridal lines are easy to differentiate for these riders. I love the concept, but it's just that at this point. In truth it's pretty difficult to pull off correctly, but these guys did put together a very entertaining piece. Good on them.
