All right heres the gig, I've been rideing my menances and a buddies havocs. I had the assult for wave rideing, but it looks like i'm going to be using it for my hight wind kite the rest of the summer....so. I can't jump this thing, its screwed up my timming ect, and I can't seem to get it to be more nimble, I wan't it to be quicker, any ideas?

Ive got a moded bar set up that works killer! I've can't really do anthing differnt with my bar, so any ideas?

Steve,
The Menance jump just fine. damn fine kite actually... for a C Wink
Work on your railieys, load & pop.
Then added that to pulling the trigger to that move.

If you 'send' an uploaded kite you will not get the jump you want.

Send it quick and then Pull the trigger just as it is about to the 12oclock position. Make sure that you are digging your heals in hard, or one of your feet will pull out of the board and well, my groin hurts from not doing that. This has been my best success and my opinion. Best of luck. My favoret kites is the Assult and the Havocs.

Bummer dude, I had the assault 12 for a couple of months. That kite is slow as hell and I could never ever time it to jump properly. Every jump would be super low and long and then I would pass under the kite.

perfect kite.....for an e-bay auction.

Steve,

If your going to stick with LF, go for the Havoc... From the 07 that I rode, and what I see others doing with it... It seems to be the best kite for just about everything from LF...
