cl100 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 Just a quick thread on Redirection.... Ive got the pendulum jump sorted with a single redirection.... allowing me to float back down.. However i would like to get some more air time and control it more.... i know practice will be the best advice but i was just wondering if putting another redirection in will add more air time.....and if so.... any advice on the technique. cheers Quote
Funkachillislap Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 If you have time to keep re-directing then it will keep you in the air for longer, just be carful not to send the kite too low or you could hit the ground with speed. I usually find that holding the 're-direct' for as long as possible, ie, before the kite starts heading towards the ground, gives the best hang time. If thats not enough then you probebly want a bigger kite or better conditions. I remember wondering why my 4m blade never gave much hang time, and tbh is never has; small kites lift big and dump hard, if your after float you'll probs want a 6.5 blade. Im still saving up for an 8.5m blade IV so i can experience the floatiest jumps of all... Quote
foofighterfan Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 You will love the 8.5 blade iv when you get it the jumps from it are awesome i managed a 12 foot pendulum jump and it floated me down perfectly even though i completley f*cked up the redirection part! Quote
