Wow!!! Shocked Pretty interesting bar system. It even has a disc break to help with the force of line tention!

...hmm....to bad a "kite" disc brake hasn't been developed yet! But yah know, if it had then we wouldn't have:
- the work "kook"
- kite line twisting
- water rescues via un-thanked jet skiers
- tea baggin'
- and good old entertainment!!! Laughing

Didn't Cory R. have a bar similar to that back in the day? It seems like that bar was or is a real bar system.
