Father jack Posted July 25, 2010 Report Posted July 25, 2010 Took the 7m bullet out today for the 2nd time freaking shed loads of pull and lift it had probally was a tab on the strong side being as i`m so dam small but it was fun none the less i was being lifted from standing still at one point it was like being picked up by a crane didnt even move the kite it was near zenith what was your reaction to being man lifted by a kite ?

Father jack Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Posted July 25, 2010 Went home to change my pants lol i was like "oh bugger here we go" was fun though Quote
rob91193 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Posted July 25, 2010 the first real lift is the one where you land on your face LOL or is that just me? Quote
Squarehead666 Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 Big grin (prepares to tuck and roll)! Have to admit to landing on my face the first time I got caught out.....StuC's 4m Samurai, a little bit too much wind and a total lack of experience (first power-kite flight), resulted in an epic face-plant, I was laughing so hard I never even heard the rapidly receding cries of "Let go of the handles you muppet!" All the best Andy S. Quote
Father jack Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Posted July 26, 2010 the first real lift is the one where you land on your face LOL or is that just me? i`m ashamed to say this but it was the 1.5m when i first got it that had me face planting the deck the 7m just man handled me yesterday Quote
LeonR Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 I was trying my cousins Blade and managed to get the jump as I wanted, but I didn't float back down for longer than expected so when I did land I could not run fast enough , lost my balence and fell over....doh! Quote
Batz Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 I don't know about you guys, but that bum clenching, pant wetting moment as you go shooting upwards (or realise how high you are) followed by the rush and hopefully a look at the photos are the reasons i jump kites LOL! Quote

tattooman Posted August 1, 2010 Report Posted August 1, 2010 you just want to keep pushing it. its like a drug kite jumping you are always chasing that first time high or is it just me ha ha. keep on jumping. Quote
kevl1989 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Posted August 1, 2010 My first decent jump - (and practically anything since when I've realised i'm quite high held up by some fabric!) - involved lots of obscenities, luckily I'm normally out later in the day when nobody can hear my awful language! Either that or I end up shouting "Wheeeeeeeeee" like a small child as I fly into the air and float (hopefully!) back down.. Quote
tattooman Posted August 7, 2010 Report Posted August 7, 2010 yeh now where ya coming from on that one ha ha ha. Quote
ace22 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Posted August 8, 2010 i`m still waiting to get my first lot of air! Been playing now for nearly 3 months with a 4.5 but still not able to get it, i just get pulled along. Any tips or tricks to get airbourne? Please help. Quote
Squarehead666 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) Got my first proper jumps from my Bego 400 today in 20mph(ish) onshore.....Wow! I thought my Haka was fairly lifty, but in the right wind this thing's on another planet! Now all I've got to do is learn to control it better! All the best Andy S.

besty13 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Posted August 9, 2010 yeah but awesome fun definitely gotta get one as my next kite :L Quote
ace22 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Posted August 9, 2010 Yeah that works- and it really hurt!! I did exactly what is says on the vid and most of it worked but didnt quite get the landing right after spinning in the air then getting slammed into the floor! But really did feel amazing in the air for a bit. What a buzz!! Quote
smackay116 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Posted August 9, 2010 Iv started jumping my blade 6.5 the float is insain. Kiteloops are interesting also lol Quote
nocry Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 my best jump was blade 5 6.5m .. wind 40kph ^^ Quote
smackay116 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 Have you got a seriose case of stupid or bull shit. When it gets you to 25mph now even frakky could hold a 6.5 biv down unless the 5 is relly shit Quote
