I'm thinking about trading in my quiver of x3's (16, 12, 8) for new best kites.

Just wanting some peoples opinion who have riden x3's and moved on to other kites - any pro's and cons??

I'm hoping to nail full kite loops and handle passes soon (not at the same time tho) but at the moment I just seem to be killing myslef

I would like to get the best yarga - medium aspect but not sure what the transition between the x3 and yarga will be like

Any info would be appreciated.

cheers

I swapped my X3's at the beginning of the season. I went for the Canrinha Co2 2005. I found these kites to be heaps better than the X3's. I am not just trying to talk up the Co2 because I thought the X3 was not that good. I have also ridden the Rhino 05 and these are great too.

I think that anything you are doing on X3's will become easier on the next kite you get and your trick list will improve out of sight as I reckon the X3's are tough bastards to do tricks on as they were so unforgiving, although they do have lots of lift.

No thoughts on Best as I have not tried them. People either seem to love em or hate em but the guys selling em certanily seem to create heaps of threads talking them up.
