When I was a kid I had a kite. But I haven't flew one in years.

Have not flown one in years. My kids were lucky living on a ranch/farm they had plenty of room to fly them and always had to fly. Their grandma and grandpa made sure of it.  The only time I would not let them is when the wind got up to 25 miles an hour it was just too strong then. they started flying them at 3. Of course they wanted mom to fly one also and I did.

I used to fly kites as a kid. I also lost many of them as well because of strong winds.

I have tried to fly a kite when I was younger, but did not have enough wind to fly the kite.  Everytime it would just come back down.

Flying kites is a favorite pastime at the beach. We have one of those with two strings, so you can make it swoop down and turn at the last second or twirl in the sky doing loops and flips. It does take a little practice, but it's great fun.

We flew kites as kids and when our kids were young....but nothing like the extreme kite flying exhibited on the video you shared oldbuddy!
Any dives our kites took usually ended up as a crash on the ground.

We owned a mobile home on our own lot in Rockaway Beach (where the video was shot) for over 20 years while our 6 kids were growing up and spent a LOT of time there. It was the best investment we could have ever made.

I've made a kite once in elementary school, but have not flown a kite since then.

I haven't flown a kite since I was a kid...They were always fascinating but menacing to me for some reason. We would get the ones with the eyes. As a small child I would stare up at them, then all of a sudden it would catch a strong wind that almost lifted me off the ground. It used to freak me out, but it was fun at the same time.
