Hi guys, I'm just after a few first jump pointers. I already have the chop hop style jumpe down, but I've been trying to get a decent boost jump in by sending my kite back in the window. My problem is that either the bar pressure on my kite is too strong for me to physically hold it in while boosting, or I just instinctively sheet out every time the bar pressure increases. Did anyone else encounter the same thing when learning? How did you overcome this? Do I just have to man up and keep focusing on keeping the bar all the way in or should I try pulling in that depower stopper thing so I cant physically sheet out at all? I'm sure that would work, but do I need to depower to land smoothly?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hey. The progression DVD series are very good. Go for beginner first. Also kiteboarding 101.
Try to get your hands on either of these. They show you step by step.
Sounds like some big bar pressure. What kite are you using?

kitch

i'm just learning to jump now too. i've found that it's good to try it on a bit of a gust and to send the kite quicker. when i was too timid with sending it i failed to launch. there are plenty of youtube clips teaching u to jump too. just type in how to jump, kitesurfing. oh and not sure why the bar is so hard to pull in... it should be no effort.
gee its a cool feeling landing a jump!!
Have fun!
