After the video about the short line usage - • Tips to Riding Your Ki... , a lot of people asked me how they could put their bar with shorter lines.
My preferred method is to cut the lines and make new ones to the length i want. The remaining lines i can use as extensions and just have the line length i need at all times.

I covered only the main type of bars, as there are a lot of variations out there. If you want to cut the lines and make the sizes you need to check this video - • FIXING OR SHORTENING L...

Awesome video as always! Love your channel

[@KookProofActivityCenter]

Thanks for the feedback

[@rnelias]

Tiago, excelente vídeo!
Por um acaso teria a versão dele em português no outro canal?

[@KookProofActivityCenter]

Ainda não fiz a versão portuguesa. Assim que possível faço e coloco. Estou terminando tutoriais em 3 línguas e com 2 h cada um para a Iko e nao tenho tido tempo de lançar vídeos. Vou começar a ter ajuda por isso espero começar a ser mais eficiente a lançar vídeos

Hi 🤟 how can I shorten the lines of a 2 s core sensor bar?

[@KookProofActivityCenter]

I don’t know the bar in detail but it should work as described. I checked online the brand website and if the pre lines are at the same distance as the flying lines it should be easy. If I could get a hold of one I could test it out and put up a video about it. Unfortunately I don’t know anyone here that has one

Hi Thiago,
I'm a recently certified Instructor Level 1 and after getting me crazy to find this video and getting more excited when I saw the High V system, you've kill me when I watched that you were not going to explain it with that system.
Is it so difficult? I have a North Bar with that system (High V) and i was trying today to double the lines but no way. Where can I see it?
Thanks at all

[@KookProofActivityCenter]

Hi, it’s much harder to fold those lines as they do not have the same distance. But the problem is even bigger than that as if you shorten the lines, the v will be extremely different, which doesn’t help the kite function properly. It’s not impossible, but more tweaking is needed, and it never gets the same effect. These high V systems are not recommended for teaching. Get a standard re-ride bar with low V with extensions, and you have the perfect bar for your teaching.

@@KookProofActivityCenter thanks a lot for the answer. I'll use a other bar, yes

[@joscinekelbrick]

Great video but your explanation is way too fast, especially the detail on where and how to re-attach the lines.
