Great tip! People connect your leashes at the front!!!

@KookProofActivityCenter 5 лет назад

I find so many people not knowing this. They keep connecting in the back as they still think its the correct place. From our testing with the boat, the only one, it was possible to release quickly and have body control was the front position. Side or back was really disturbing for the person being dragged, and we often stopped as we were afraid. He did have a life vest during the whole test that helped keep him afloat, and still, it was difficult for him to breathe due to all the water that was thrown at him.

Thank you so much for this video. This is so incredibly important

@KookProofActivityCenter 3 года назад

Yes it is and a lot of people still use it on the back. It’s not happening every time that you need to release the leash but when that happens you are going to want to have it in the front of your harness.

@michaelshmilovich5551 5 лет назад

Very good tip. Thank you. I think those of us that have been riding for a while automatically get programmed to attach the leash to the back. This practice should really become phased out. That length of line and plastic tubing along the horizontal of the harness should really be reserved for holding on to someone in high wind/landing/teaching conditions. Perhaps also bar manufacturers should opt for shorter leashes? If you have any aspirations of riding unhooked and let go of the kite, the shorter front attached leash really helps to recover the kite when rigged in suicide mode.

@KookProofActivityCenter 5 лет назад

Michael Shmilovich most kites now come with short leash but still most people connect to the side

@kevinjones-ch7pr 3 года назад

Very good tip

@ride_the_wind 5 лет назад

Nice vid! Would you recommend a short leash connected to the front for a mystic warrior V harness? (i don't do unhooking)

@KookProofActivityCenter 4 года назад

Yea it's the best place to put it.

@acepath3001 2 года назад

HI I am a new be and I am using a truckers hitch knot to release my lanyard. I make sure my pull string is taped to my body and a grab point to pull in case. Like a parachute

@jeromeserre 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this life-saving advise. Cristal clear. I recently bought my first gear with an Ion harness, and I can't believe in 2020 big, global kite brands like that still sell harnesses without any way to tie the leash on the front side. This is criminal as it is a now well known fact that it is the only way to place the leash safely. If you buy a harness, make sure there's a native place for the leash in front!

@KookProofActivityCenter 4 года назад

They have some add ons as the fashion was to put it in the back. I think several brands are changing. Mystic has and has re-retrofitted it with a piece that fixes it in all their harness. The worst problem is people not knowing.

@scianderson7145 2 года назад

I agree the brands are essentially providing dangerous "Handle Pass" Leashes on the back.

@brougri 5 лет назад

Very good video, illustration and tips! I don't fine any room on the front of the ride engine harness which is a bit annoying, I'll try the ring and rope to the straps, not sure that will do the job. Any feedback?

@KookProofActivityCenter 4 года назад

That should work. Did you manage to connect?

Mine was connected to a side ring, I moved it now to the front, next to the chicken. Thanks for the tip!

@KookProofActivityCenter 5 лет назад

eran goldstar glad to help out. Hope you never need to use it, but I feel better to know that if you do it will work

@vitodibernardo9807 4 года назад

I also have a Mystic harness with no real connection points. In the past I used the hook for the chickenloop to attach my safetyleash, had not yet had any problems with that. But now I have the Core Sensor Pro leash. This one is amazing. It is as your home-made setup. It is a little rope with a metal ring connected to it. The good part however, there is some sort of bearing in it, so it can never twist and lock itself. I really recommend this, very easy to attach your leash! I attach this to the end of the metal part where the straps are connected. Just the example (not for commercial purpose); www.versusshop.nl/kites-barren/accessoires-en-spareparts/core/core-sensor-pro-leash-2s-rzprlsh21

@KookProofActivityCenter 4 года назад

That is not a standard leash. But it looks good.

@seadoorsliveaboardphilippi3920 4 года назад

Hi, How would you connect the leash to the stealth mystic bar then ?

@KookProofActivityCenter 4 года назад

Hi, mystic now even sells a small little piece to connect to the ribbons that connect to the stealth. But if you want, you can also add a small ring to the strap that connects to the stealth on the opposite side that has the closure.

@seadoorsliveaboardphilippi3920 4 года назад

@@KookProofActivityCenter Yeah thanks ! This is actually what I did.

@croldan1 4 года назад

Pierlo, I was thinking about switching to the Stealth bar. How has it worked out for you?? I have only found "official reviews" but not reviews from a real user.

@joannepimentel5569 4 года назад

@@croldan1 To tell you, for the Stealth bar, the fast lock is easy to close and open. Can't be opened by accident. it isn't spinning up while riding, that's pretty great. I don't understand why there are nothing to attach a leash ... But at least it is easy to add a ring by your self on the side of the harness. If you are using already a mystic bar, I don't think it's worth to by a new stealth bar ... but if you are planning to get a complete harness, yeah you can definitely choose this bar.

@travisjansen4809 4 года назад

I jist dont like the way the leash sits on the front of my harnass because i do handle passes and do some freestyle so i have a long leash and i find it very annoying to have my leash dangeling around my feet

@KookProofActivityCenter 4 года назад

Travis Jansen I had the same problem. The easiest way is to do a pre turn around your waist to the direction you will do the pass this way the leash is around you and doesn’t interfere or annoys you. Check if this helps you out.

@radoslawglebicki1975 5 лет назад

But she did unhook trick. What in that case? Long leash without possibility to change the side after when you move bar behind your back?

@KookProofActivityCenter 5 лет назад

Radosław Głębicki when you have it on the back it moves around 20cm each side. Just make the leash 20cm longer, and you have the same.

@KookProofActivityCenter 5 лет назад

Let me know where you connect your kite leash on your harness. Did you have any problem with your leash?

@KookProofActivityCenter 5 лет назад

Just let me know what leash and what point you connect in your harness, front, side or back?

@drewbee6248 3 года назад

This makes so much sence .don't get taught this a training schools

@KookProofActivityCenter 3 года назад

Drew Bee the leash on the front is now a mandatory thing on the iko training. Iko schools or instructors not doing this are in violation of the standards. Hopefully it will become mainstream to use the leash on the front. Even manufacturers have started to make connections on the front for the leash.

@summer.vfX-trem 4 года назад

I have the one at 5:10, from naish. The solution is to avoid it ?!

@KookProofActivityCenter 4 года назад

I would get another leash or just make sure the ring is big enough so it's very dificult for the metal piece to get stuck on it.

@zomo_215 3 года назад

What I have done with that leash: The metal part which can get stuck on your harness when releasing goes right through the line. So I cut the metal piece in half and removed it entirely. Then I put a rope through the hole that was left when removing the metal and made a loop with it. Works perfectly for me

@summer.vfX-trem 3 года назад

@@zomo_215 if you replace metal part by a rope buckle, does the safety still working the same?

@zomo_215 3 года назад

@@summer.vfX-trem I dont really know what a rope buckle is to be honest. I just use a loop of rope instead of the metal "ring" so nothing can get stuck when releasing. The rope solution works perfectly. Can you describe how you would use a rope buckle there?

@@zomo_215 sorry, for me buckle meant rope loop

@user-py1hc4lz1q 5 лет назад

Short Ozone leash. attach it at the spreaderbar against the padding and done. Doing this for ages and no hassle with rope and rings or whatever. Its designed for pull force so why searching for other places to attach.

@KookProofActivityCenter 5 лет назад

M. There are a lot of different leashes and a lot of different harnesses. There are several solutions. The ozone leash since its rope works well on the spreader bar. We use that one also. The ring and rope solve it for other harnesses and leash combinations, but it's not the only solution. Glad you found one that works for you.

@offordgraham 3 года назад

For the last leash (Naish) there is a very easy solution. Cut the spectra and metal piece off that can get stuck. Then simply put the ring you bought into the hook. Problem solved

@KookProofActivityCenter 3 года назад

True, there is always a fix to it. Just alerting for a possible danger.

@scianderson7145 2 года назад

This video could save lives. Guys do NOT connect to the BACK. This has happened to me and I was dragged under water while trying to find the release on the leash. I had to let the kite go and this could have all been avoided if I was connected to the front. Also if you miss the bar on your handle pass its easier to retrieve the kite before it crashes.

@KookProofActivityCenter 2 года назад

This is for sure the way to connect correctly. Not even pro riders keep the leash in the back.

@jeromeserre 4 года назад

For whose amongst you whose harness is dangerous, go to 4:40 for an easy DIY fix. Never tie your leash anywhere else than in the front if you care for your life!

@KookProofActivityCenter 4 года назад

There is a small piece from mystic that will fit most harness with small strap. But the DIY works fine.
