I think it would be best to demonstrate than try to talk you through it.

As Tighe mentioned to a recent post there's quite a write up in the knowledge section.
If that doesn't work for you I'm sure Tighe would give you a jumping lesson for a fee. My school http://www.mwsk2.com also has a progression for jumping lessons and would also help...for a fee.
Failing that there's many videos from companies like fat sand that deal with jumping technique, but I believe they also have a fee attached.

Yes there is a good post in the Knowledge section. If you have good kite skills usually moving into jumping isn't a full lesson. You have the skills you just need to adjust them a bit. Find me at the lake, or ask anyone who seems to do it proficiently. They'll step you through the sequence in a matter of minutes. Also as Steve points out, if you want a focused lesson, either of us can make that happen.

Not avoiding spelling it our here, it just is rather long to describe, though easy to demonstrate with hand or kite. Check the post in Knowledge for a description.

There is nothing like the feeling of flying through the air...hopefully with some control.
