My last session I lost my like 3 times because it keeps unclipping from my safety Ring. I run it on suicide. Is there any little mods people use to stop this unclipping during a trick. I use to clip it straight to the chicken loop but I have a new leash and the clip is too small to go around my loop.

try clipping off to the lines above the chcken loop,

otherwise thread the saftey ring onto the loop and clip off to the ring, it gives you suicide with a chicken loop length of depower when you drop the kite.

Change the clip. I use a witchard with a modified SS leash. Hasn't let go once after i got sick of my north leash pinging off my harness. Cheaper option is get the clip off and use a 316 chain link.

The hook is good man I have bent back plenty of hooks And this 1 is all good
I know when rock climbing, you have to clip the rope on a certain side of the Quickdraw, if you fall and the rope in on the wrong side the rope can open the gate and fall through. I recon the same thing is happening to me with the gate on my leash. I'm just going to cut the clip off and replace it with a different shackle!

Yeh its because the ring is so thin and it finds its way to the groove in the clip and threads its self threw. Yeh there is a way so the ring sits at the back of the hook but with all the chop and bumping around it always finds a way to unclip. I saw a vid drury posted of him doing a mobe wits the leash flapping around behind him. It must be a fairly common thing.
