Is it possible to use the Switchblade 2012 bar with the Switchblade 2010? The new bar looks much better than the 2010 bar so i was thinking of getting one for my kite.

Yes is the simple answer!

thanks guys :)

isn't this the same way as riding suicide?

Suicide , The leash is connected above the QR on the chicken loop if you drop the bar when un hooked kite fully depowers and no flagging either .

If you drop the bar when riding with the 2012 bar and the leash connected to the leash ring then the kite depowers about 90-95%

If you then pull in on the leash to get to the QR1, the kite will not power up and then you can operate QR1 and the kite will depower 99% and you can self rescue by getting to the kite with the help of the IDS line, or in an extreme/unusual case you can release the kite altogether by operating QR2 or your leash QR.

The Cab system is comprehensive and very functional, well designed, but not easy to reload in the water (but can be done with practice)
