Well I have never ridden a pickle fork,but that is irellevent.

Is the kite too high when you get pitched?
Are you too upright? Lean back more and use your body weight.

Also,make sure you are not overpowered.

Good...also You will get better, just keep traing...

This you will like when you star to do high jumps...you need to be very powered...

Now... may you leave your kite more up wind, just shitting out the bar, leave the leadding edge more attacking the wind...this will put you in a less power (was you over powered?)

:cheers:

Good Luck!
:bye:
