Title: C/L ! No But with 3 Handles and we use one
Post by: Larry Wong on March 05, 2007, 11:18:42 AM

Ray Bethell, 8-time-Multiple Kite World Champion is flying the kites.  He is 79 years old, and this is an absolutely stunning film.

That is remarkable! Many of the maneuvers appeared to be well within our mythical 5-foot radius, too. To borrow a line from the PGA commercials, "This guy is good".

I may be sorry I asked, but what's the third kite attached to? I see a handle in each hand but no obvious attachment point for the third one. Or is this why they only show him from behind? VD~

    Mike; If you look closely, you will see the third kite is tied to his belt. It looks like he maneuvers it with his body movements. fantastic stuff!!! Ed Vega
