JUMPING???

hi i wonder if anyone can help me, i have recently started kiting and casn now go in a straight line, stay upwind, and do transitions, so the next thing is clear JUMPING. so can any1 help me, i have been told to send the kite backwards an edge hard, which i have tried bt currently no air.

i have a 9m naish boxer sle 2007 if that makes any difference.

in short throw the kite towards 12 o clock the top of the window, throwing to the side of the window will do nuffin! Get yourself a copy of a instructional dvd, at the stage your at itll be the best 20 quid you have spent.

Have fun

progression is good, the intermediate one takes you through basic jumps, back loops and forward rotations.
