No doubt it is a great kite and great for boosting etc.
But does any normal level riders have experience with it for unhooked freestyle on basic level? Raley2Blind, S2Blind, Back2blind, uh kiteloops etc ?

Yeah, iu'm luving the unhooking on b5 this year. Had b4 and rpm last year. Definately lot lighter bar and more slack and can unhook easily even when well powered for boosting. Think it will help me nail some new tricks and consistency

Was out on the B5 12 m today. That is a really really really nice kite.
Incredible lowend I must say.

strange going from hadlow's to b5's?!

Stick with the c shaped kites me thinks if you're throwing down

Yeah well, If I was 20-25 years old and actually any good at freestyle it would probably not make any sense.
Since I am much older than that and probably wont progress beyond R2B, B2b or maybe a BJ guess it makes more sense

So far I have same succes on my blind tricks on the B5 as I have on the Pro
