I had the opportunity to try suicide jibe in the ice buggy last week , kite overhead , 30 mph , trees coming up fast , "now what do I do" , on my sled I allways turn up wind , so thats what I did, but there it was the perfect time to try SJ , I even had all my pads on. Its going to happen "I can feel it".

spider do some test runs just by pulling the kite up directly over your head while you have some good speed and get a feel for that part of it. Then once you are comfortable with that, the SJ is just a glorified downturn without doing it down in the powerzone. Just roll the kite on over to the side as you begin your turn and you will feel the wind catch it about halfway through.
