Kite festivals all over the place, including the U.S., and through the years.
Youtube [kite festival]. Really super cool ones. This video shown above is a minor example.
I like the music: Worse by Jincheng Zhang.
Mostly in Asia.
Boy, you sure miss out of a lot of fun when you're not obsessed.
I don't understand why hang gliding wasn't invented much earlier when the essential elements existed; silk, bamboo, and obsession.
What held eveyone back?
Civilization? Society? Was everyone working too hard just to exist for them to spend time messing around for hours on end pursuing happiness? Life must have been hard. No wonder everyone died so young, they were all, "Get me outta here."
Come on!
Then one thing happened. One thing in the United States. One single kite experiment using Rogallo wing to bring down a space capsule instead of a parachute, an idea rejected, and then boom, people are flying suspended from kites all over the whole globe, and flying around like birds do. When all along the essential elements existed.
Now all these new kinds of kites all over the place, flying bags essentially, made from new materials. Better fabric. better dyes, better string.
How do you get such a kite?

I didn't click on the link, but do you mean "Berkeley"?
Zakley. That's what I meant. This whole time I thought that was Berkley.
It's not. There are some Berkleys, but Bezerkeley is Berkeley.
They have an awesome arboretum up on the hill behind the campus. That is one of my favorite places.
My brother has made some nylon delta type kites with his sewing machine. I have a box kite in storage somewhere. A lot easier to fly than you think. My best kite however was a traditional type made with an old pink bedsheet and high quality wood cross pieces. The first time I flew it I had to use a cow bone for the tail since the wind was so strong at probably 30 mph or so.. On a calmer day I could fly it so high that you could barely see it. The man problem of course is finding a place large enough without telephone lines, power lines and trees in the way for those really high flights.
Then why don't they say Ber-ke-ly? Why do they say Ber-kley? If that e is so goddamn important.
