Go to the flexifoil forum and watch some of the videos of the kite skiers in the mountains or the surfers on the high wind days.
There is a huge advantage to jumping in the mountains where the wind blows up the slopes you really get lift that you otherwise can't find on a
landboard, buggy or static flying.
Surfers can catch huge air too if they are flying overpowered but kiting in the mountains rules for high air and long floaty jumps.
Check out Air Evolution kites - those guys seem to spend more time in the air then on the ground.

Have had a good few jumps going 20 foot plus on my bullet 7.0 mtr in 25mph , was a bit hairy though , waiting for my blade 6.6 to try again!

Yeah a 7m in 25 mph winds is def pushing the envelope! You def have a sturdy set my freind! 12 to 14 foot on my Blade IV 4.9 in 20 plus mph winds.
About 10-12 feet on my Bego 600 and 8-10 feet on my Bego 400. I recently installed Ronstan pulleys on the 400 and seems to have uped the hp in lighter
winds so looking for that higher wind day to confirm it! as usual.........................................stoaked
kinny999 - 27-2-2007 at 06:28 PM
yeah it was only for about ten , fifteen mins and i had mate to help land ,stop me going straight downwind!

For me, my best jump is about 30 to 35 feet high!:singing:
and the longest one is about 150 FEET !

25-30ft high, static flying pendulum jump. In 18-20mph winds, with Blade IV 6.5.
Edit: Was gusted higher than i intended to go, but not out of control!

I wonder who was controlling who with that Blade in those winds. Props to you for being able to fly it in those winds without getting hurt.
