If you want to get off the ground, do not get a bullet. Blades are much better suited for jumping. As for skudding.. the blade will do a fine job. My only concern is your experience. The 4.9 Blade has been nicknamed the "widowmaker" Its not for the faint at hart, and highly un-recommended for a first power kite. It can be done, but with much caution. I would say go for something a bit smaller like a 3 meter, get used to it, then step up. You can always use a 3m for higher winds once you get used to the 4.9.

Hope this helps.
