I think its called a 'HOH, as in Hoochie Other Hand.

A Hoochie Glide is a Raley with a Method grab (front hand to healside rail)

In the HOH you do the grab with your back hand.

Re: goin big 8 years, 2 months ago #2278

going "big" does not necessarily mean going high

Re: goin big 8 years, 2 months ago #2280

yeah but "unhooked" does mean unhooked.

it is the same girl!
all that upholstery and she kites as well

Re: goin big 8 years, 2 months ago #2287

SSS if your comment is a suggestion that he is not "unhooked" you are wrong. What you are maybe wrongly seeing as a connection is in fact a suicide leash which runs to the back of the harness. The suicide or handlepass leash offers the conveniance of not having to chase a lost kite after missed bar passes and safeguards riders, swimmers sunbathers and anyone else down wind. Not one of your concerns I know but some riders(not many if any)do have some regard for the safety of others

Please explain how a recently let go of kite with an 80kg rider attachted to it being dragged through a group of swimmers is "safer" than a normal front line leash attached to you harness. Suicide leashes are cheating, so there.

sure this is importnat stuff but how anbout the clipons on that girl on the cover!

Re: goin big 8 years, 2 months ago #2292

suicide, handlepass leash, fag-belt or whatchamecallit - they're all hooked in my book.

until you're actually unhooked, it's fair to say - your hooked. ask any fish if you don't believe me.
