This is the video from our shoot of the 2008 Slingshot REV. The REV proved to be a very solid kite. I really enjoyed riding the REV. I rode the 11m in nearly all conditions for the size. Its a good balance between the Fuel, T2 and link. The REV unhooks like the Fuel (similar bar pressure). It turns fast like the T2 and has the excellent relaunch similar to the T2. The new bar system is fantastic. Its similar to the 5th line system but with only 4 lines. This means you can compleatly Flag (let all the power out) the kite but your bar will not be a mess, infact you can pull your bar right back to you and get back up as riding. The REV should prove to be a popular kite for 2008. Check out the video.
