Jump from ballon techinque

We are a group of 3 acro pilots. We wish to jump off a balloon. Are there any special technique. What do you have to do for this kind of flight. Could you give each step do you usually do before the flight?
Before the take-off of ballon: Open the wing on the land, check that there aren't knot. And then?

Choice of Freestyle Wing (Airwave Burn vs Air-G Sophie versus RR Rolling)

Today I test flew a 21m2 Airwave Burn and enjoyed it very much... it´s a playful wing with a very precise turn and a really direct feel. It also felt very solid and very safe, and I imagine it´s about as safe as a DHV-2 with a little extra dynamism.

I´ve heard many good things about the Air-G Sophie, although there aren´t many videos of it available.

And the RR Rolling is widely recognized as a calm, safe freestyle wing with lots of potential for maneuvers.

When you make acro videos - music

Ooooh. It's so much nicer to se an acrovideo with music than without. So please take the time to put in some music.

Then you have the problem that youtube do not approve just any music due to copyrights. And I guess that's OK. So where to find music?

If you would consider norwegian music, then this is the web for you. This is norwegian artists without a recordcontract yet, but recomended by the radiochannel P3. It's called "urørt" (untouched).
