    Nothing in the world to do with hot rods, but ....

     



    You will love this!

    The guy flying the 3 kites is in his 80s, and he's from Canada . He comes to the Washington State International Kite Festival every year. His skin is like leather as he normally flies with his shirt off. He is deaf, so when he flies we hold our hands up and wave them for applause. He flies 2 with his hands and the 3rd one is attached to his waist. Enjoy!

    You must watch to the end to see the amazing landing of that last kite! I would have those kites so tangled up, you could never get them separated again! And of course, make sure the volume is turned up because the music is simply wonderful and totally reflects the soaring of the kites.

    Simply amazing and thanks for the link. Beautiful and I'm not into opera music but that was well chosen for the kites.


    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    My kite flying experiences can be seen in any "Peanuts" cartoon. It either crashes or ends up in the closest tree** - even if it's a half mile away.

    That guy is great tho I didn't listen to more then a few seconds of the music, fits it well
