I had a bullet 3.5 which I used for recreational flying but struggled to get any real air, i have now sold it and am on the hunt for something a little larger with more lift which i can use on a landboard. I have heard that the Blade is the one to go for, but I really wanna know if there is anything else out there. If anyone could help this newbie i would appreciate it. Size wise what would you reccomend for me, I am 175lbs ish.

a bit like a blade but not quite as agressive, HQ crossfire. Most people prefer blades but i actually prefer crossfires, they have plaenty of lift for some nice floaty jumps but are really predictable unlike blades, so your not going to get lofted and get hurt so easily. I would say the 5m after a 3.5 bullet, in a 20mph wind the 5m has given me some very large and floaty jumps when ive used one. i was so impressed by it when i had a go on it that im currently saving my money for one.

Agreed, the crossfire is a great kite for jumping. And for the money you really cant beat it. You can also look at Ozone's Riot. A very very good stable jumping kite. Its like the crossfire in attitude, but with higher performance. Just keep in mind, you get what you pay for.
