In my country we csll it mad bulls. I never knew how to make one but now i know. My whole family grew up making kites and they said it was profesionally done. Thank you❤🇹🇹
This takes me back. As a child in Grenada, in the '50's we made just such a kite, only thing is my father & uncle would make them about 5ft tall. No fancy paper, just brown. On a good day we would launch such a monster, it would lift me off the ground & with several hundred yards of rope leave it to fly all day & night. The "Mad Bull" roaring.Eventually the rope would break & we would drive cross country to try & find it. What fun. I would so love to do that again. Thanks for the memories.
What were the sticks btw? I have lart home and I wanna know if that will work and also the pieces that bent into the grooves on the perimeter of the kite what material was that?
I used to make kites when living on the Rock but I had forgotten the tricks. That video was a nice reminder, thanks a lot. We are ready for Easter... The last part of the video is too short, we don't see the kite flying, too bad.
I asked my friends to send me up some kite sticks from Bermuda, but the closest you can get them from in NC is Hobby Looby or a craft store. - Kennette Burgess, Bermudian
This was great. So where can you get the sticks from? I'm Bermudian but in school in NC and want to make a kite for my son for Good Friday this year. Where can I order or get sticks from?
