I'm using a 12m Boxer SLE, and I'm still riding with the leash attached to one of the front lines.

Has anyone used the bright orange "freestyle leash" attachment that comes in the bar bag? It's an alternative to going full suicide, and would stop the leash twist thing that happens when you unspin the bar.

Just give me a second to get my flame suit on for all the Naish/SLE haters out there ;-)

use it, its awesome, but it doesnt attach to a single front line, so its basically the same as going suicide
just run suicide, I have exactly the same kite and it has more then enough depower when running suicide

Thanks mate. I understand the concept behind it, it basically shortens your front lines by a some more when you let go of the bar unhooked, depowering it by more than just pushing the bar all the way out when you are hooked in. Did you remover the stopper ball as well?
