They come with them. I wasn't expecting them to but they did. I assume they still do but you might check. When Steffen emails the invoice to you, it
should have the bag listed as included.
I took my new born-kite streetkite bar with 5 meter lines for a spin today on a compacted gravel lot. Gravel is my favorite surface so far. My grass
fields have thick grass and asphalt can be a little too fast for my liking. If your having trouble learning landboard, try and find a surface with
little resistance. I'm getting much more comfortable and can finally relax and tack back and forth with little effort in the right wind. I was
feeling pretty good about myself so I thought I would give toeside a try. Evidently I'm not ready for that yet. It's really a lot of fun and I like using the bar because you can easily control the kite with one hand in the
middle. The streetkite bar is very different than the 3 line bar and is not quite as simple as it looks. The SIA adjuster allows you to set the
depower at the desired level and the same mechanism allows you to adjust the length of the third line for the different size kites so there is not a
lot of excess flopping around. The bar and the lines have knot sleeves which are very handy to eliminate bridle tangles. The third line is above the
bar and linked to the main leaders on either side. The third line runs through a little peice of metal hardware and back down to where it started
effectively creating a pulley. If you have a kite killer attached to it, that allows for the third line to be pulled for adjustment or if you let go
it will collapse the nose.
The depower bar works fine as well, but I wanted to have a dedicated short line bar and a dedicated long line bar so I wouldn't have to swap lines. I
got the streetkite bar as the short line bar mainly because it's much much cheaper.
You'll really appreciate the operation of the 3 line depower bar Spencer! Of course when I first unpackaged mine, it was prompt call to Sean. I was
scratching my head at first saying "whatha......" LOL
I went ahead and picked up another bar and line set. My intentions are to make the 5.5 and 7m rtf. I can tell they are going to be my most used sizes.
It is comforting knowing I have an extra bar incase something was to happen for some unforeseen reason. All components are high quality and are just
as durable as any other kite gear.
The bar option of being hooked in or strong arm to achieve the same results really seals the deal IMHO. If you are hooked in, simply pinch the depower
ball between your fingers for easy operation (like I WASNT doing) as in John's video, or simply push/pull the bar in strong arm mode . This feature lets YOU control the amount of daredevil :evil:. Hooking in,
and unhooking is all done on the fly like a strop on FB handles. No chicken finger to fool with.

FYI, the SIA on the street kite bar stands for steuer-impuls adapter which translated means tax pulse adapter. I don't know how I didn't guess that,
it makes perfect sense now :puzzled:
Exactly Sean!!!! It didn't help I was trying to figure out the whole bar thing in German! I felt like a tot trying to fit a square peg into a round
hole LMAO
