bigrob Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Depends on your weight, jumping technique and what your average winds are. I have one and it is brilliant. My technique is ****e and I can still jump 6ft with good winds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibz Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 i have been between 8-10ft up consistently using a bIII 4.9... pendulum jumps, very floaty, wind 8mph (wind meter reading at ground level) (i am 12 and a half stone) does that help?

Racinsnake2 Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 They are superb! How high can you get? Well the answer has to be as high as you dare!!! In the right winds 30ft is easily achivable (preferably on a beach with nice clean winds and a soft landing). However these sort of jumps often result in a trip to hospital if you are not ready for them. Just make sure you are sensible. Start small, master the technique, then when you feel comfortable pop a big one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
