Fractured Axel

can somebody please explain me what exactly it is, and how to design&attach yo-yo line to a original bridle,
is there any drawbacks over the yo-yo stopper???.

A yoyo line goes between the 2 bridles, they often require an extender on the bridles (just on the pigtails). All of this is made of bridle line. Imagine an H with the top of the uprights attached to the kite, the bottom attached to the lines, then slide the horizontal towards the lines a bit.

The disadvantages? It doesn't support multiple yoyos, and sometimes it gets tangled and takes 2 minutes to untangle. The advantage (a really big one for me) is that there are no little catchy bits on the leading edge, so when I'm learning (a long process) I don't get my line inadvertently caught and end up in that damn walk of shame too many times.

thanks, have you got them on your kites????.
is there any thumb rule how long they should be?.

you told the letter H shape, wile u-out and l-out form the right angle like here

rule of thumb of static bridle.

With yoyo lines you can get problems with crazy copters and yofades. The H shape line may wrap around the nose on this tricks.
I have been flown yoyo lines on my Sin a few years ago. After half a year I got rid of them and practiced to hit the yoyo stoppers without them.
I think yoyo lines are a good help if you are starting to get into yoyo tricks.

I use one on my K2 because it's quite slow to wrap up and that seems to make it difficult for me to catch the yoyo stops.
I work out the length and position by wrapping the bridal pigtails (e on the first diagram) round the kite and tieing a line at the point where the bridal meets the stoppers so that (in my mind) if the stoppers wern't there the lines would be held where the stoppers are.

Not sure if that makes any sense this picture might help you can see the yoyo line on the pigtails.

ok thanks for the foto, that make it clear. .

BTW im the newbie to the yoyo.

You can use them for multiple Yoyos if you're determined.

The Yoyo Line (©David Morley) has some advantages over stoppers in that it is easy to fit and remove plus it doesn't provide big sticky out snag points for your or other people's kites (important in some Team and Pairs flying). It can lead to slightly fuzzy handling as the bridle can move about more than with a stopper. It's certainly worth trying to see if it helps you though.

I found a major problem with a yoyo-line instead of stoppers is that unwrapping from a wrapped flatspin is unpredictable. Unwrapping with good old stops is reliable and controllable (I'd also say roll-bars are not ideal for flatspin-unwrap tricks). As Mike says, multiples are possible, I once had 3 yoyo lines on my Fury.85, though they were, again, unpredictable.
