Given the year (2003) we were all experimenting with bars and quick releases. You couldn't buy a decent bar with a quick release system until 2004-2005. People were riding around with kites permanently snap-shackled to their harnesses.
I have to say my efforts were a lot more elegant than Dan's.
They all look like contraptions that jigsaw would of put together in the Saw movies. Though I do remember the fixed harness loop with no chicken loop on my first kite. Hardley any depower at all.
