so that's what it's supposed to look like. I wish I could see the whole thing in slow motion to understand about hooked in or not, handle passes, and
transitions. One time he actually turned the handle loose, turned around and caught it in the air. I wish these videos showed more with the kite and
the rider at the same time. I'm trying to learn more about what to do with the kite instead of being impressed with the rider. It looks like he is
getting 30 feet or more off the water with a floaty landing. That would be quite cool to pull off.
If you take out the twists and turns, how achievable is the jumping?

the jumping is the easiest part with these kites, unfortunately your current quiver will not be giving you that kind of jumping though and if they did
it would definitely not be safe and controllable ... if you move to depowerables
or kitesurfing kites, go out in over 20mph and you'll be flying all over the place! height is easy, it's doing stuff other than #@%$#! yourself when
you're up there, that's what takes balls and time of which hadlow has massive
amounts of both!
