The guy flying the 3 kites is in his 80s, and he's from Canada . He goes 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 wonderful and totally reflects the soaring of the kites. Beautiful!

Thats as good or better than the Blue Angles air show - The truly amazing thing is how he avoids tangeling the lines - Amazing!

Just think,. If all of the things that we see on UHH, were only presented once, how much we would miss.

I almost didn't watch this video,....would have been a big mistake.

Wouldn't I like to talk to and listen to this artist talk about his talent of kite flying.
A master artist he definitely is.

I'm in awe.

Thanks for posting this to share,...I've bookmarked it to share with others.

I'm a flyer, dual and quad line. This guy is the best i've ever seen, period. Unless you'd tried this it's impossible to comprehend how crazy difficult it is. IN AWE!!
