Hey All,

I have just started getting into unhooked tricks. I am seen a lot of riders connecting there leash to the chicken loop. Like this....


The problems with this is if i knock my emergency release on the chicken loop i will loose my kite completely!


The other options are to connect to the "Safety Line" or "5th Line" but then the kite will loose all power and i will drop like a stone but i would not loose my kite.


I could also connect to the depower rope and only depower the kite to the max depower setting. I would still be 90% powered up if i let go and still not loose my kite.


I have not seen anyone doing this but could i connect my leash to this point here...

I would then still have full power and if i hit the release i would still be attached to my kite....


Does anybody ride with this setup? I notice the pro's all ride attached to the chicken loop but they can afford to loose their kite or have boat support to get it for them. Us normal kiters dont have this available to us. So i am thinking this is the next best option to the Chicken loop connection point. Any ideas??

Cheers....
