True enough, its preference to some degree - you can jump like that, you just go bigger the harder you load the edge.

You have to put tension between you and the kite to get maximum resistance.

Which has more power - a slack elastic band or a taught one? in order to 'bungee' you need to load it up 1st

No edge = little resistance = no pop.

no, I dont jump on the fixed loop, my north bar when is on the fixed loop is very hard to turn the bar, but I will set up my CLoop a little bit shorter, so I won´t loose much power during jumps.

This is why the Cabrinha powerlock bar is so good. It solves these problems.
