Upward lift and mutant kites I NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP


Hi i have had my sky rebel for nealy a year and it has proven very handy in all winds. Alohthogh it has some minor cuts in it, it flys perfect. I have become more than advanced at flying it but i want to be more adventurous.
First question: Skudding is fun but not good if you have a small field so could you recomend a kite that gives a very good upwards lift for large jumps i.e 6-10 feet in the air is cool but not give me a nasty landing.

Second question: is doubling lines safe as my friend and i did it which resulted in any wind over 10mph would send us skudding for ages in the end his lines snapped.

Third question: i am good with double lines but appaarently quad lines offer loads of control and normally they are the better kites would 2 flexifoil super 10's be better than a big kite (maybe quad line) that would give me good upwards pull foir big jumps aswell as being able to skud maybe 5-6m? i have £300.

Fourth question: is sitting on your arse good for skudding my frinds and i usually do it.

thanks for your time



Have as much crazy fun as you can, But when the the winds pick up, pack up.

Go quad line. You have so much more control. If you want to jump, you need to get a blade, or some type of de-powerable kite. Bullets are not safe to jump with. They drop you. If your going to jump, please get the right equipment. Also is the Riot from Ozone. They produce lift as well.
