How do you know how high you have jumped?
Is there a counting seconds/meters rule? Or is it all pure guess work. Cheers Billy.
A seconds counting rule doesnt really work as certain kite types throw you up high then drop you like a rock and others glide you a long time but dont jump as high, What i try and do is measure myself to other kites around me, even easier if someone is sitting there with the kite at 12 as we know line lengths average out around 22m, work your height of that.
Also you know when you actually do go really high, because you look down and say to yourself 'S*** thats a long long way down, thats gonna really hurt if a line breaks'
Another way to tell when your really really high is to check the inside of your boardies for a little brown surprise after your session
or just get one of those woo devices when they arrive and realise you wernt jumping as high as you thought and you need to go harder

You actually do push off using the muscles in ones leg to jump otherwise it is a pretty dismal attempt at a jump.
