Hey im new to Traction Kiting and jumping, I weigh about 170 pounds and can spend up to 250$ on the kite. Where I am the winds are moderate. I want to get big air, i was looking at the beamer 5.0 but if you guys know of any other kites for 250 that perform better under the same conditions please tell.

left out some stuff
Ive so far seen the beamer 5.0 for 240$ and Ballistic 5.0 for 255$ and radsail 5.0 for 300$ which one provides the most lift and how is the beamers lift is it more then the ballistic because the radsail is kinda out of my price range.
which is a better kite the beamer or ballistic and also the ballistic offers a bar. How does the 3 line bar work, do you pull down a bar
that works as a accelerator like in kitesurfing, also what is better for jumping bar or handels.

I believe that you're talkng about a depowerbale kite when you talk about pulling on the bar as an accelerator and you won't touch a depower kite with the amount you're talking about (I think just about all of them start around $500). Most people prefer handles for jumping. The beamer does not provide a lot of lift, but people still jump with it. It does provide a lot of pull for a buggy or landboard, though. I am not familiar with the ballistic (sorry). I am told that the radsail pro has more lift than the beamer. Make sure you get a "pro" model when looking at the radsail. Another thing to consider is size. 5 meters is great for jumping, but bad for learning. It is a lot of kite. I've got about 50 pounds on you and there are times when I just can't fly the 5 meter (unless I want to visit the E.R.). Invento-HQ (the company that makes the beamer) has a new kite out called the crossfire. I haven't actually seen one yet, but a lot of people said that they have more lift than the beamer. Might cost a little more, too. Sorry, not much help, but it gives you a few more things to think about.

I seccond that. I love my Beamer 5m, but its no beginner kite. Start with something smaller. You'll need it for high winds anyway.

thanks guys, i need something that doesnt need to much wind, i understand what your saying about the bigger kites. Do you think the radsail pro 5.0 is to much. ANd is it a lot more lift , because it is a 60$ difference from the beamer. Because I want the kite really only for jumping and i want to get decent air. Of course ima fly it around and get the hang of it but after them ima try to jump.

Also the only reason I am trying to get a bigger kite is because i dont wanna grow out of it or get bored of it. Also what provides more lift if you guys know the radsail pro 4.0 or beamer 5.0, also what is a overall better kite and easier to fly.
