Hi guys
As i love flighing Kites i desided to buy a new kite i have got a bulett 4,5m an i had lots of fun with it.
I am tinking of a lager an newer kite. BladeV 4,9 is it a good Kite? i just want to jump a bit. Maybe later buggiing I am not sure.
please help me which kites would you take

I got a Bullet 4.5 too and jump with that when there's too much wind to board safely in my little area ... hauls my fat ass into the sky no worries
If you can handle that fine, I'd go a bigger size than just 5m ... with the usual caveats. Post more info about location, ability etc and you may get some of the lovely lads offering you a fly of their kites

thx kamikuza
well I really love to jump and I have heard that blade at light winds is easy to fligh and at strong winds it really shows what it is all about
As I live in Austria I really need to get to beaches in summer oherwise I get crazzy!
but I also have heard that blade V isn't that good as the old blades... is this true?
and what other kites would be fun flighing/jumping

Peter Lynn Twister II in 5.6 or 7.7

CAUTION !

I had a set of Bullets. They were great kites. Liked them a lot for the buggy. BUT.

I witneesd a few people getting slammed hard by my 4.5 and Ken #1's 5.5.

The bullet is designed with PULL as it's focus for the buggy. The Blade was designed for jumping. Every once in a while the Bullet would slam these people in to the ground with force instead of lift them . I think they sent it wrong . If it feels like you missed the take off don't hesitae to let the Bullet go before it slams you.

Twister is worth a look.

i head a lot slams but just one hard one but i didnt know bullet was designed for pulling thx a lot
Is Twister5.6 better than bladeV4.9 ?

Blade is arguably a bit more powerful size for size, but Twister is smoother than the Blade. In gusty winds, holding on to a Blade is like being tied to the back of a car when someone is gunning the engine and popping the clutch.

Blade is prolly easier on a bar though, if that matters. Twister on a bar has to have the brake tension just right for it to turn well.

Both lifty though.

Since you already have a 4.5m I would suggest the twister II 5.6m or blade V 6.5m. Jumping is better with a larger kite. Get a bigger kite for the light wind days and if the wind is stronger than you use your 4.5m and go buggy.

The blade V I would not say is no good. It is still a very good kite, but I see no improvements over the blade IV. If you can find a used blade IV save yourself some money and buy it over a blade v. Thats what I did

ok thx a lot

i just have got one last question. What would you take for the blade 6.5m handles or Bars
i am used to fligh with handles but i just want to buy som nice stuff.

definitely handles for me

the prolink handles are excellent!

I have bought the bladeV 6.5 now and i can say I am more than happy. The boost is more than great. Its really fun to fly.
I jumped a lot and I cant wait to fly again!
Thx for the help guys
