So its been blowing a bit too much on the southcoast of england these recent weeks and much too dangerous to fly..for me anyway. I was looking at the
Weather website yesterday and i got all exicted, the winds were due to ease again for one day only. it was forecast for a 22mph gusting to 30 plus, so
i had my heart fixed on hitting the soft beach at Bournemouth, next thing i nwake up this morning.. Bad news on the weather website or so i thought,
the winds had dropped to 8mph and i was so disapointed that it wouldnt be worth hitting the beach, i looked a bit further ahead on the forecast and it
was a bit of good news seeing that it was going to be 11mph straight off the sea so we decided to go to the cliff top, lil did we know what we were in
for.
We arrived at the clifftop where the wind come off the sea and hit the cliff which sends the wind upwards When we got to our desired spot to set up we felt it was alot stronger than was forecasted, we were extatic, out comes
the Anom...wind meter and it was blowing a ver CONSTANT 12 gusting up to 18mph
We even thought that it might be a bit too much because the Grass was wet and there was a hundred foot drop a few meters away lol but we wasnt going
to miss out on these perfect constant winds.
After a bit of a difficult set up i strapped up first anxious as to what it will be like, i sit down and launch, BAM im arse scudding getting airs off
the lil bumps on the Grass Before i run out of room i take it fully to the
zenith and stand up..Man im powered up like a B**ch, so powered up constantly that we were limited to 5 minute sessions each before the forearms
started going, we could tell that this was going to be good fun.
I started doing some lil static jumps and mini pendulum getting 6ft of air with hangtime, Then i braved it after about an hour and really started
going for it, this is when i got my first ever 15 Footer So this is what
happened, I get the kite in front of me hanging to the side, i tilt my wrists back to fill her up, then i start running sidewards with the kite still
hanging there, the kite starts screaming and i slam on the air Brake, BOOM....Im up there, all i hear is my brother screaming, i see the floor
floating by and everything is in slow motion, i start to redirect but im still going up! I fully redirect and start coming back down at speed
travelling across quite a distance horizontally, I redirect again to slow my decent, it works, Now It feels like im landing a parachute, i think to
myself im coming in fast, It was wet so i hit the deck with both feet and purposly collapsed gracefully onto my arse with one leg half bent for a bit
more soft landing, I was like I didnt know how high i had really gone until my
bro and some old geeza walking his dog told me i had gone 15 or 16 feet up. It was amazing, unfortunatly i didnt get it on film But i will do next time, I did two 15 footers over the day and a shed load of 12 foots
etc, it was awesome.
Anyway Here are some clip of just a few of the SMALLER jumps of the day before
the camera ran out I hope you like them, and i must stop wagging my legs, it
looks silly and looks like im not in control but its like instinct to imbalance.
Please rate
Please tell me what you think of these jumps, i was surprised how much hangtime we got from a 4.5 ace which is now like my best friend, ive had ups
and downs with it but now i know it well.

Some nice videos man. If you have a good constant wind, the 4 meter will still provide some nice floaty landings. Looks like a nice spot to fly. Try
to get those 15 footers on tape next time

Cheers mate, like i said they were the smallest jumps of the day but battery ran out i will record it next time bro, those 15 feeters were crazy fun, we knew what the wind was doing so it was more of a
have you got the balls to full on pendul lol, but i did only three times and i went up up up lol.

Nice! Good vids too ...
I get about the same hang time as your smaller jumps, off my Bullet 4.5 but not so much height - I'm a bit bigger than you are though
For style, try keeping your feet together ...?
thanks man, Yeah for sure i need to just be a bit more relaxed up there, my legs swinging seemed to be my bodys automatic reaction to an imbalance, i
used to get it freerunning aswell, if i was balanced on a small pole etc one leg would flail abit to rebalance. I suppose with a bit more practice i
can keep my legs still and im sure it looks alot better. sometimes the legs flail sometimes they dont.
The maddest thing was the redirecting that day, in some jumps i redirected 3 or 4 times, it was fun. I think the wind and location was a big factor
with those jumps, behind my bro filming there is a clifftop about 10 feet away leaving us 100 odd feet above the sea which is at the bottom of the
cliff, the onshore wind hits the bottom of the cliff which sends it upwards. Its great for jumping. Theres usually alot of paragliders floating about
there aswell. Its called Barton clifftop on the soutchcoast uk if anyone wants to know.

Yea I do until I feel comfortable enough to ride the board with it. S
Since I live inland, the winds are guaranteed gusty, so a Peter Lynn Arc was the obvious choice.
The gust munching plus the float and controll of a 15m depower Syn, its beautiful compared to a Twister. Flying with a harness feels much better than
getting yanked by handles.
I can just fly the kite from 10 to 2 then pull the bar in and get some really nice floaty jumps.

Jack your into freerunning too? Fun stuff I say. I used to go alot, but now kiting is taking over hehe
Ditto
I look forward to seeing more vids of you and your synergy, theres not many youtube clips with the synergy so it will be good to see. A synergy is my
ambition buying kites wise.
Next up for me is getting a board and learning on the cirrus 6 in low winds, that should be a laugh, im not sure wheather i want to go with handles or
bar and harness, harness scares me a lil.

The syn is quite the improvement over FB I think. Just the amount of power available when you need it is just phenomenal.
I weigh 140lbs and its just the right size for my winds here.
I learned to fly and ride with the Twister II, it helps trying to fly and ride at the same time.
Power,
Definitely get out there and try some pendulum jumps with the 10. Just having a big kite makes you feel pretty damn cool when cars and people stop,
just to see it fly
