hey paddwood. i would say if you want to get some good air, go with the 4.9 as its great for getting airs and as its got the adjustable bridle if its a bit windy you can change the angle of attack making it pull less. if you only want it for traction and not getting airborn the 4.0 will do you fine. im just over 12 stone and with the 4.9... a good 15mph wind is sufficient for gettign some air :)
i was in exactly the same position as you before i got my blade but im so glad i got the 4,9 !
hah cheers andrew, had i known it was going to go like that it would have stayed in its ricksack ! as soon as my feet left the ground i knew there was no going back :)
Mental... Have a 4.9 too as well as a Twister and watching this brings back that "oh, sh*t!" feeling when you know you just have to stick with it... Did my ankle for a few days too!
Learning the hard way... About the same thing happend to me with my twister II 5.6 but I broke my leg^^ and I would still say that I was really lucky!
well...funny u shouldask that, walked around braunton afterwards thinking i was ok but tried getting off the dofa later that eveneing, realised maybe i hadnt, couldnt walk for the weekend, think thats called learning the hard way :)
