Hi folks,
New to the forums, but looking to sell my HQ Rush IV pro 350 trainer kite. Honestly, I've had too many sprained ankles. (Just keeping it real with
ya'll!)
Kite, lines, bar, wrist strap, backpack are all in great shape.
$175 shipped to you.
Please check out my feedback on eBay- thomascb2011
Don't hesitate to contact me with questions!

Sprained ankles?!
You aren't trying to jump with it are you? This is a small kite that's designed as a trainer, not a large floaty canopy that'll put you back on the
ground gently.
If you're not trying to jump with it, and it's simply too much kite to hold on to, why not fly it in lighter winds and enjoy it?
(These are the types of questions that go through my mind before I've had my morning coffee. 
)

Jump I did. Land I did not. Stupid I was. Injuries I got!
Lessons learned, the surprisingly hard way!

Hopefully, the sprains will heal quickly and you can use the kite to better understand the wind window and how to maneuver through it. Try a 4-line
kite that'll fly on handles for even better control - it's a different feeling than the bar and the handles (I think) provide better tactile feedback.
Once that's all dialed into your muscle memory, look at the posts here on PKF and learn from the good folks here that jump and live to tell about it
(and recommend kites).
And, get a brain bucket.
Fly safe!
