i tend to jump downwind as much as i can and only pendulum when i can't. doing tricks are much more rewarding when you land because its much harder to spin. so far i've managed 360's somtimes end up horizontal at 180 which is fun flying backwards looking out at the horizion , 720's,lazyboy (legs foward completly horizontal with head tilted back).supermans and upside down.

i used flexifoil blade 3 4.9m (borrowed) works nicely for this type of jump and had my biggest landed jump so far on it about 17feet up and traveled about 100ft i came in fast though as u tend to speed up as the kite goes up and u come down.

now Ive just brought a new Radsail savage 6.5m for 200 quid
it flys sweet done a few jumps on it and was doing tricks again within a day or so. its not set up fully yet i got to change to handles cos the grips are way to thin and don't absorb any pull and quite painfull to hold after a while. managed about a 6foot jump though. ill be expecting more once ive got used to it and set up properly.

Lets see some footage
