I see some great possibilities here:

Lots of ways to configure your line for a trick release

I think Lonnie is using something similar for his updated 2010 Cinch Release. He has a pick on the Yahoo Hydrofoil group.

Cool, I'd buy from him then. Lonnie has fast shipping!

Only issue is where the swivel is located and where the release is located.

The swivel needs to be AFTER the release in this setup. A different design would work/layout. If the swivel is before the release the release rope will get twisted up in the skier’s rope as they are twisting the rope. I tried this release about a year ago with no luck. It would take a release without a swivel near the tower and then a separate swivel in the line to make sure the release potion of this particular release did not get twisted up with the rope.

I've tried this with the Bullet, and it works...o.k. The only problem I can see is that you have to have tension in order for it to release. If you pull and there is no tension, it just pulls the rope down. I suppose it would release eventually, and may not even load the line that much when it does. It's certainly a cost effective means of getting the job done.

Maybe the reason it did not work for me is because i flip the same way/ direction. Although I can do wake/air rolls and front rolls, Becuase I flip the same way it can get my rope pretty twisted up.

It is still not a bad option to have.

Ok, so I'm thinking of a tower mounted version.

Yeah thats the ticket. you can have a swivel somewhere on the line too and all should be good. that way you get the release and the swivel too.

I like it!!!!

Look into a group buy maybe....?? Doesn't look like there would be a problem if it was mounted to the tower. I can't see how it wouldn't release... Let me know how the testing goes - if it works I will have to get one... Thanks for doing the research Brent!!
