4.9 and 6.6 are probably the best fixed bridle jumping kites made. Unless you want to go de-powerable, thats just about it. Ozone has the Riot
coming out this week, and will have one in my posession next week for some trial runs. Its the 5.0m. We will be flying back to back with the 4.9
blade 3. Ill let you know how it turns out, but you really have very few choices when it comes to jumping on handles.

Have had a few different (see sig) kites , but ill follow that last comment , blades all the way!!! Im 6'2 and about 15 1/2 stone and i use a blade 3
6.6 i got from ebay for £185, Its a beast , will never get bored with it, so much power but i find it quite forgiving , and it moves surprisingly
fast for a larger end kite, Have spoken to loads of people and when it comes to ram air non depowerable nothing seems to beat blades! 4.9 is just as
good if you have the wind , hope this helps
