John Barresi Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 Djinn MV (mid vent) in 5-7mph, still some design tweaks to make but close enough to give you our best tease yet. This clip is real-time with no speed adjustment, we just ran it through a Prisma filter to keep a little suspense going. 🤟 https://www.facebook.com/kiteforge/videos/341633012979898/ 6 Quote

John Barresi Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Posted January 12, 2018 Ok, a little more... Djinn ST in 0-3mph, gotta love the “auto axels” and clean flic-flacs that come with the Sync Bridle! <3 🤘 https://www.facebook.com/kiteforge/videos/341669716309561/ 4 Quote
makatakam Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 Sync bridle? Explain, please. 1 Quote
John Barresi Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Posted January 12, 2018 Hard to explain without opening the door too wide right now, wanna get everything a bit closer to the finish line but... We’re using an original bridle design, has some unique dynamics at different angles (ground gains, axels, flic flacs, as examples) and shapes the leading edge under pressure. 3 Quote

John Barresi Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Posted January 12, 2018 I can say there are two additional LE connections (7 total), but the other details are a little more obscure and harder to describe, not that I would describe them just yet. 2 Quote

happysuperbutton Posted January 22, 2018 Report Posted January 22, 2018 Darnit.. so which kite to break the bank for first.. Shook, Phoenix, or Djinn.. Sigh. So excited for the Djinn, following the journey! 1 Quote
riffclown Posted January 22, 2018 Report Posted January 22, 2018 @happysuperbutton Well what makes the Shook unique is every one is unique,, No two are alike. If you are into meshes, Cath and Eliot really pioneered that arena for quad line kites. Designed for beach winds. If you have High and gusty winds and want that stability, this is your choice.. The Phoenix is very aptly named as it rose from the ashes and also has the hand of a master in every stitch..It shows what Bazzer can do without Rev defining every design aspect. The best of the bunch here (IMO) is the Ashes. And for the Djinn, without saying too much, what makes it special is, it IS very close to the vision for quadline @John Barresi had over 10 years ago. Add his new Sync bridles and you open up a few possibilities for maneuvers that have never been typical with the competitors. (especially those that require a bit of slack line) If you want Venting options and some wicked slack line capability, this is your first choice. (FWIW, I'm in this line too.) 4 1 Quote
