hi i was wondering what it would be like jumping with a 2.4m kite. im 5stone and fly a 1.8 beamer. i want a bigger more stable kite but i dont want to go much bigger than i have to. i was looking at the new crossfire from HQ. would that be alright for jumping and atb jumping. would this be alright. oh and while im at it what is a depower bar like when it isnt hooked in? is it always powered up if it isnt hooked in?

As has been posted befpore when oyu are jumping the bigger the kite the more floaty the jump will be...
I was jumping with my 3.6 Beamer and came to the floor with an almighty crash - bruise still looking fairly impressive one week on:o
The smaller kites will get you off the ground but send you back again quicker - you might be beter to get a few Flexi stackers to jump with as they have good vertical lift and can be added to if the wind speeds are lower...I had a 8 and 10 stacked in 25mph winds at the w/e and got a bit of air:D
