    This is exactly the perspective we needed for a Blank Kite Test. Just the most honest opinions from someone who is not being swayed by their sponsor🔥 You guys are now making such great content that is so enjoyable; thanks to you as always ♥
    Oh, and great work on breaking the rules, well on the way to Duotone officially trusting you with a blank Evo or Rebel 😅
    EDIT: Just seen on Portrait, the blue D/Lab is going to be interesting...

    just finished watching EP1. Have to say the production quality is great. So now I'm sitting here all excited for EP2 just to learn it's locked behind the paywall. It's like sleeping with a girl you meet at the local bar and before finishing you off she asks for an extra payment.

If it isn't Harlem after all this then they've done very well to throw everybody off the scent as to where they are really going.

    • @maeve.bennettt

      They weren't Blank though. Colin may have broken some rules including: rider to test alongside other blank kites, only. But the I suppose Andrea's kite is sort of blank so I guess that counts?? I don't think Duotone really approve of some other rider testing their kite and giving their honest opinions.

      Have you watched last year's King of the Air? Lords of Tram? These guys don't need to perform at competition level 24/7. If they did then they risk injury. And I don't think brands are 'dropping' riders. Lorenzo left Duotone because he needed to get out of Andrea's shadow. He then left Cabrihna, admittedly for reasons we don't know but likely due to the QR or the production team not being able to keep up with the family's prototype demands. And Giel left OR of his own accord; they wouldn't just drop him, he helps test and develop their Aluula kites.
