Awesome review as always. Can wait to throw the thrive into the mix.
@@MrSpanishPeanuts hoping to try it
Interesting for sure. Seems to loop more forgiving then D lab which makes sense with the shape. People do seem to like them. Yay for SS. It’s been a minute 😵💫🤙🤙
@@corpuskiter yeah, a great addition to the big air scene
Great review! Hope you get your hands on a thrive! Curious about that one
@@lucasdemelo3 me too
Hey Jason, I could be very curious to see the review of 5 struts Aluula, like Naish Psycho or Duotone Rebel Aluula when it hits the market :)
@@Danieldaniel-gz8fe I’ll be trying to get hold of them, thanks for the suggestions
Thanks! Best reviews in the business!
@@collegepros cheers
Genuine, knowledgeable, and thorough. 🤙🏽Good winds to you, my friend! -Aaron
@@MACkiteboarding cheers Aaron
Any chance you will get a Harlem thrive to test? If it's a dlab alternative for book competition riders that would be very interesting
@@bondvillansarebest I’m trying to, fingers crossed
Thanks, Jason! I've been waiting for this. Slingshot always has that lovely smoothness about it.
I don't have a lot of grounds for comparison but this one was a gem
Just saw the video of the new Duotone Rebel D-lab. Looks like a great performer. Would love to have you review it. I like the new seam that can hold 10 psi. I’m guessing next year’s EVO will have that seam along with thinner leading edge like the Rebel and the new NEO. Thanks!
Also, maybe do side by side of 5 strut Aluula kites, versus 3 strut Aluula kites.
Keep up the great work!
@@collegepros I’m working on getting the new rebels, sls & dlab to try and compare them to my Evo
Great review as always
@@core13004 thanks
Been waiting for this one. Look forward to seeing it in person.
@@davevnz Monday looking sweet
Could you do the vantage vulture? BTW love the vids!
They surely seem pretty awesome kites!!!
@@filippos.4287 sure are!
Great review, thanks!
@@dpwild328 my pleasure
need to see rebel dlab :)
@@vincentbringer2569 working on it
Love your reviews. Very good content
@@JoaoSilva-xi2nl thanks
I am wondering, would you consider making a video about improving jumping height. Not pure technical but what little tricks you learned over the years; more from a personal perspective. Most videos about this topic come from pro riders
@@matthiasg4843 I’ll think about it… but there’s just so much content on the subject out there that’s really good quality, check out @gethighwithmike for example
Best looking kite, in my opinion. Wish I had 1... the good old rpms will do
the rpm is a classic
great vid!! Don't suppose you've tried the NXT with a north navigator pro bar have you ? or if not would you assume them to be compatible ?
@@archiemorrall7349 that is the nav pro I’m using in the review, and it worked great, didn’t even need to swap the pigtails
Good stuff Jason. Had a go on a Lift yet?
@@707rudo im afraid not, it hasn’t been request too much to be honest, and we don’t have airrush in nz so tricky to get hold of
What are your thoughts on deforming when taking off for the NXT? I´ve seen at least one jump in this video where the tips of the LE bend. How is it compared to other Aluula frames? Is it as weak as it looks?
For other Kites, when will you get a Thrive? :)
@@Alexomator I had no issues the first couple of sessions, I think on that jump you’re referring too it had been a little under inflated because I took it out later in day after testing a few other kites
Great review as always! There are some great deals on the Dacron V1 right now, any idea how much the V2 has changed from the V1 for the Dacron version?
I'm afraid not sorry, I never rode the v1
Nice! Curious to see the comparison with the Pace Pro
@@davidflusin5705 very curious about that too, unfortunately just can’t get hold of one
Hello Jason, i didn't miss any episode of your kite review and i was so impressed by your hard work. At this moment, i have a huge problem want to consult from you. I m 176 height and 75kg weight. Riding 137 lieuwe falcon and i can pull the loop in 10m height now.The windy days at my spot usually in 20-30 knots. I need a kite for progressing kite loop variations like boggie or lateback. What size of code nxt should i go for？ 8 or 9？？？ Thanks for your help！
@@casparguo7300 if you’re getting that kind of wind, at your size I’d say 8m
@@jasonofmontreal Really appreciate bro！
@@casparguo7300 sweet as
So do I understand you correct that the Code nxt has more yank in loops than the Classic Orbit ?
Is it on pair with the yank of the Vortex?
@@mortenlander I didn’t ride them back to back, but I’d guess a bit more yank than vortex, really depends a bit on technique too, none of these are very yanky kites, the vortex gets heavier in the top end though
Hi, nice review! The Code v2 could be good for freestyle? In particular a big size like a 12m . I’m not a pro rider but I love practing some easy unhooked tricks. Could be the Code a good freeride-freestyle Kite? Thanks 😊
@@ZapKite I’m not sure about a great one, big air kites do tend to pull a bit and don’t slack as well of course, but I think it would certainly be better than most kites that more bow shaped or big air specific
@zapkite the code obv isn’t an rpx but if you wanna throw some unhooking in the mix it’s great !
Jason please tell me where is this spot
It looks awesome!
@@TodorLekovic Muriwai and Mangawhai near Auckland
Love the comment on heli loops as Ive only ever had great lofty lofty heli loops on one kite which was the Rebel. All others are too pivoty. How did it compare to the Rebel there?
@@tmotten i didn’t ride those kites back to back but it was certainly similar
@@jasonofmontreal sweet. Thanks
hey jason when your loop the code NXT did it flutter? and are you going to test the cabrinha moto x DW?
@@sekitalander333 not that I’m aware of, as I mentioned in one comment one of the sessions I’d been testing a few kites and might have got out on it a little under inflated. I’m hoping to test the cabrinha soon
Thanks for the review. Are you going to test the cabrinha i saw at 16:08 ?
@@fver9 hoping to soon
Nice review!
What do you think about all aluula kites in one video?
@@MadPandaArt I’m going to try to do this for a best of 24 wrap up
Hi Jason, thanks for all your gear review videos. The only ones actually deserving the "review" label in my view. Would you consider switching from evo d/lab to code nxt if money was not an issue? Why yes/no?
@@tabadiiiiii very hard to say without trying it in other sizes first… and money always an issue
nice ! I'ld love a gond ayto dp review :)
@@xavierlabaume1308 I contacted gong, but due to their business model they don’t offer demos, which is understandable given the costs.
What happened to the leading edge of the kite at minute 13:31? It completely deformed! Is it a video compression glitch or a kite deformation failure?😮
@@miguelsilva1165 I had no issues the first couple of sessions, I think on that jump you’re referring too it had been a little under inflated because I took it out later in day after testing a few other kites
@@jasonofmontrealit still looped just fine😅😂
Are you going to do a pace pro review?
trying to get one... my instagram will be the first place i drop any previews if i can as usual
Casually have you tried the Slingshot Machine? I just bought it, and i feel curious about what you could say about it. Friends of mine think its similar to the Rebel SLS. Anybody have tried both? The Rebel feels more sporty and jumps a bit better, but I felt a bit more spongy the bar (maybe just testing i was nervous because they let it me 😂)
@@Danieldaniel-gz8fe I’m afraid not sorry, these are the only slingshots I’ve tried
@@jasonofmontreal UFO's are great... But are for foiling ajajaja
Slingshot machine is an airstyle kite… v2 is sold with tremendous sale in shop, there will be not a v3 in the future.
@@giorgio4660 with a world title behind them hopefuly that changes
@@jasonofmontreal nono they already have code and nxt they don’t make anymore the machine 😂
thanks !! You're doing it great. Core XR PRO it seems to me that you will be disappointed in him!! That's why they don't give it to you for tests.
@@olegta4581 I’ve never tried it, but I think it’s more of a boosting focussed kite so I’d wager my original xr7 review would still hold up in relation to the pro vs these other modern big air kites… I’d test it if I could, but no Core in New Zealand
@@jasonofmontreal I've been riding the pro version for 8 months now, and I've been using the core product for 5 years, I haven't felt such a load on the bar... two hours of riding , my hands are numb ... My elbows hurt... As for the flight characteristics, this is a good kite, but the rear edge of the kite has turned into a gray rag in six months because it trembles a lot... You need to be in good physical shape to skate all day
@@olegta4581 yeah from everyone I know who rides core, they are a lot of work, but great performance once you get the hang of them
@@jasonofmontreal I couldn't get used to it, the doctor said tennis player's syndrome was a month of elbow treatment... I decided to order the Duotone Evo Dlab according to your reviews and I will sell it... You are the best in RUclips reviews!!! thank you!
@@olegta4581 happy to help
i was hoping to keep these kites as a hidden gem :)) spent 3 months in Vietnam and met the development team for this kite, same people worked on the Vortex as well, there is more in this kite
@@ridewithandrei I doubt many ppl will see this video 🤷
Review the Airush Lift?
@@yulinerinwang we don’t really have them in NZ so a bit tricky to get hold of
@@jasonofmontreal Maybe next time when you visit North America then!
@@yulinerinwang it might be a while before we get back that way, but in 2025 we’ll be in Capetown so hopefully can tick off a bunch then
The code v2 design / colors have to be the ugliest kites of all kites designed in the last 3 years... 😅 nxt looks nice though... was it on purpose to push people towards the nxt? 😜
@@sanderpsychologie in person it actually looks pretty nice, you miss a lot of the design on the video I think
If we’re rating ugly kites you shouldn’t forget duotone 🫣, for me personally north, core and some smaller brands like vantage make the prettiest kites with their simple design.
Jason please tell me where is this spot
It looks awesome!
One spot Is Muriwai on Auckland’s west coast, the other is Mangawhai, just north of Auckland
