Very nice 👌
Great job, Connor
❤was awesome
Amazing every time I see it.
How did u get ur brain injury? Mine was from brain surgery, partial "eviction" of a 2" 🍋-sized brain tumor, the rest is inoperable & I'm now on yearly MRi's w&w, so far so good, Freddy Jr is still dormant. Recovery is a life long process, the struggle is REAL, especially with invisible injuries. What do u still struggle with the most?

This has got to be one of the best indoor routines of all time
Interesting video and thanks for the tips and tricks. Question? The small kite parts (lines) are made of double layers of Icarex P31. You stitch your molds to the Icarex if I understand correctly. Does your molds then stay between the 2 layers of Icarex and does this provide the stiffness of the 'kite sail'?? If yes, what kind af material do you use for your molds?
I see it already, you sew just next to the templete, then you turn the pieces inside out and sew them flat with a 3-stitch zigzag. Correct?
Great landscape and kite flying!
Lovely
Wonderful folks!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Ron. Sharing your technique and way of working is a great help. Next winter (in Europe) we are going to make a Genki (3 meter across) with inside curved wing borders. This video is clear for us (incl. my partner... she is sewing the kites for me) . We are not completely new in kite building. We made some Revolution kites, some Malay's, but until now we only used 'straight' lines in our patterns. Now we are going to try something more difficult. Right now I'm sketching the kite on paper, afterwards I'll draw it in ACAD in order to print a 1:1 hardcopy.
Very nice.
Thank you!!
Looks like a lot of fun.
it is a blast!!!!!! Nothing like standing with a bunch of friends and making something cool in the sky!
WOW!!!
What a great video! I love the stories of the connection that happened between them.
Thank you for the comment, I will pass it on to them as I am sure Amy will be happy to hear it
Yes! Beautiful! Looks like a great day. Wonderful video. Thank you. Love the kites with eyes!
Beautiful. You are so lucky to have weather like that. (I live in Yorkshire, England.)
it's not always this beautiful, we actually started one of the days fully rained out!
this is so heartwarming...I hope to find a nice memorial flow tail soon...thank you Nic~
I hope so too!
Absolutely beautiful video! Not only is Jim a great flyer…..he’s one of the nicest people I know! 🪁🪁🪁
Excellent job 👏😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Very cool. Thanks, Ron
Great video Nic!
Thanks!!!!!
Awesome show, Thanks, Ron
The fliers always try to do their absolute best!
Very Active kites flying sir 🙏🏼🇮🇳
💗💗💗 Thank you Nic. This is more than I imagined. Superb presentation 💖💖💖
You do all the hard work with the kites and everything else. I just walk around and share the moment :)
Bravo James! Beautiful.
Thank you so much for putting this video together. I forgot to make sure someone was recording the event. The poem you chose was moving. Again, thank you.
Always a pleasure :)
Such a cool tribute. Ron
Thank you!!!
Thanks, Fortuna. Found for the posting and great job flying, Amy
Ey hermano envidia dela buena
😊 Thank you for the way back machine! I was 14 when this happened and just so happens is exactly when I was given my first kite. A Skynasaur Aerobat in neon orange. Time claimed it from me, but the fates allowed me the opportunity of owning it again a few years ago. I chance found one in new in bag un flown old stock condition! The sound this sail made and the memories of being towed around keep it safely in its bag still. I hope to pass it on to a young flyer some day so those memories can live on in the heart of another who finds pure joy in catching the wind!
Oh wow!!!! What a great story! Hope to see it flying again some day!
His agt audition gives me comfort when I need it and I see his talent has improved a lot. This boy is a gift.
Nic, you understood the assignment
What is the name for the style of kite discussed at @0:47:45? As a teenager back in the early-1990s I frequently made large paper kites exactly like that, having learned the design from an article in the old farmers almanac or a similar publication. I have no idea who wrote the brief instructional article but that cake design was so easy to slap together and they were great flyers.
That was beautiful Nic.
Biggest Heart inside this, always smiling, KID!
Watched and was finally able to finish my curve-filled applique.
Nice energy from both of them!
Wow, the names of our past - - -
This is great, thank you! I've sewed clothing since I was a kid, and I learned so much.
Wonderful!
What a beautiful place to fly!
It really is!
Mindless Kite Festival sir ❤
Beautiful kite flying sir
