Chicken loop is back!
Here’s a video on how the Sroka pushbar functions, it’s definitely interesting.

Curious now they have been out, how are parawings from the top brands holding up over time? How bad are they bagging/stretching out?
I’ve had my V1 Ozones for a year now and they have 100’s of hours on them. Just bought two brand new V1’s (in different sizes) and I can’t tell the difference in use for starts and upwind-ability. The new ones repel water better of course but this hasn’t caused any issues with the used ones.
I’m careful how I pack and redeploy so haven’t needed a single repair on 2.4M (been tortured), and 3.6M. I lost the 2.4 in the shorebreak this winter. A friend found it an hour later with an octopus wrapped around it 
No damage, still works great!

4m frigate with tons of use. Some signs of wear in lines and bar, and Velcro on bar. Material feels a little heavier, not as crisp or a redeploy, more tangles of the lines. One of the wingtips sort of flutters and collapses some times.
not bad, and nothing that makes me think it’s time to replace, but anybody would notice it vs a brand new one
Nice discussion to have!
I just sold my Maliko v1 that I had since november 2024. The canopy, bar and line still looked great. Hard to comment on the bagging/stretching because I dont have any reference point anymore. But it was still fly good!

No hands flying the BRM s3 with a chest harness is a breeze.
