Ten big rules of kite-flying 

Jim THANK YOU! I'm JUST FINDING YOU AND I SEE I HAVE A LOT OF CATCHING UP TO DO! As a Man who has way too much kid still in his 52 yrs old body, I WANT TO GET A BUNCH AND GO KITE FLYING! So maybe I start with a couple of easy ones FIRST, but I'd like to try the many on one line trick! WOW! YOU HAVE SKILLS!

10 rules for kite flying 1 never feed your kite to a big tree feed it to a small tree or a skinny tree because they need to grow 2. don't get mad if there is no wind and you can not fly your kite learn to fly a remote control plane - they do best when there is no wind 3. have fun 4 if your kite goes into a spin and bangs its head on the ground don't get mad, show some kindness and patience - the kite is still learning 5. if your kite flies away - don't worry if it really loves you it will find a way back home if it did not really love you then get a new kite 6. if your kite breaks a wing don't send it to the garbage dump to die broken wings can be fixed 7. have fun 8 while flying your kite - imagine all things beautiful 9 if a hawk attacks your kite - don't hate, show love and maybe they will become friends 10. have fun, its better than not having fun

I liked the part where they said "have fun"

I enjoyed the collection of kite clips and well matched music. Congratulations on your 700th video and keep flying the message, "go fly a kite and have fun."

There certainly are rules but they don't stop you from having fun. 1. Do not fly kites near power lines or over roadways. 2. Do not fly kites near other kite flyers or people if you have cutting line such as manja or Kevlar 3. Do not fly kites to annoy people, i.e near sunbathers or buzz people with a stunt kites. 4. Do not fly kites near air ports or in prohibited air space. 5. Keep your kite below the legal limit which is from 100 - 120 metres (328 - 400 ft) above ground level in most countries Otherwise have fun.

It's not about having fun, it's about who spends the most money on the newest and biggest kite made! I forgot to mention Safety is kind of important too. HeHe . . . . . Nice video Sir!

I do believe that you've got the fun rule well in hand. Nice one.

My hands and feet got real sweaty while watching this video.

Excellent video. Good rules too. Nothing better than a good breeze and a kite in the air... Or two. Thanks Jim.

Sure seems to be fun thing to do. ...great way to spend some time outdoors :-) Really would like to try this and get into it. Nice hobby it seems.

This video in a nutshell 1. HAVE FUN 2.HAVE FUN 3.HAVE FUN 4.HAVE FUN 5.HAVE FUN

Not becoming angry, thinking you made this video being sarcastic. As my kids got really pissed off coz dad asked them to watch Kite 101 before practical....😉

reposting this on face book...its a nice cross section of the kites and I hope it sparks some interest in my community,,,:)

This is the spirit , not sure if everyone gets the point of the video . It is here to show you how there are no special rules when flying a kite as long you have fun you are doing it right. good video 👍 keep it up

Fighting kite hir is common i remember when i was 10-15 yrs old we put powdered florescent and sticky glue we put it on our strings and we hunt other kite 😂

Lots of lovely colourful kites here! 🙂👍

*DO NOT FLY A KITE IN A HURRICANE.* *{I plan on FOLLOWING this advice over the NEXT FEW DAYS...😝}*

Luv the kite clips

Here is ANOTHER Rule: DO NOT FLY AN ALUMINIZED MYLAR & GRAPHITE KITE ON PIANO WIRE FROM A GOLF COURSE DURING A THUNDERSTORM. Just sayin'...《grin》

Apart from not endangering, frightening or annoying other people, there are in fact a few rules beyond the usual "avoid power lines and lightning" stuff. First, get to know what kind of kite flies in which wind conditions. People try to fly very light kites in high wind and then complain that it's "junk" because it spins. No, it just needs a long tail in strong breeze. They also try to fly a heavy parafoil in a light breeze and complain that it won't go up. No, that kite needs a good steady breeze, and a big delta would work better. Second, know when a kite can be dangerous. I have a larger stunt parafoil kite that can exert tremendous pull in a sudden strong gust. It can injure me if it knocks me down; it can injure a bystander if I lose control of it near the ground. I have a smaller stunt parafoil that exerts only minimal pull even in strong gusts. That's the one to fly on a crowded beach. And third, know what weight of line each kite needs. If you just buy a cheapie kite, you probably don't care much...unless you become sentimentally attached to a certain kite after flying it for years. If it's a more expensive kite, you really don't want to see the line break and the kite end up in a tree. Fourth, buy some extra kites, I recommend small single-line parafoils, to have ready in case a kid comes up to you fascinated. Your opening line is, "Do *you* like to fly kites? Really? You're not just saying that? Do *you* want to fly one right now?"

I like the part where they said there are no rules as I was watching a video I thought would help me fly a kite

I like to fly on a empty stomach

I just bought a 40inch wide/large alicorn, on the package it says unicorn but it has wings in the design, kite as well as dollar tree kites for my nephews, my cousin's kid, and my cousin's boyfriend's daughter all a kite and we'll be heading out in the next few days to fly the kites.

this is wholesome content

Brilliant! This one really made me smile and the music was perfect......again. Thanks Jim.

Congrats, and thanks! These videos are great and the 700th is no exception!

I just discovered your channel, very cool kites!

I think that the main rule of kite flying is to keep it away from electricity lines - and, if you’ve built a stunt kite, keep it away from people’s heads!

Best stress reduction and relaxation video ever.

awesome!

I shoud make you a suggestion: all you need is a drone, a 1000 dollars or less, fly it above to the sky (caution!), the kite is in the second positon on a string, and author is on the ground. Film it!

Nice words mate!

Where’s the real rules of kite flight. Everything has to follow the rules of physics.

Wow so fun

Curious where did you find the pink kite at the one minute and twenty second mark.. Thanks!

Great video Jim. Ron

I’m really going to try to get a few kites and show the neighbors HOW TO HAVE FUN WITH A LITTLE BIT OF WIND!!!

Oh my gót

Most important rule, never fly around power lines.

Wonderful piece, especially the musical background. Many thanks. (UK)

2 Important rules of kite flying are: Stay far away from roads and dangerous electric power lines!! Those should have been in the video. Many beginners don't know this! D:

I feel like one of the rules should be don't fly a kite big enough to carry you

Uhhh this music

and telling us what we need

My English is poor but you can send a butterfly kite or eagle kite

any chance you could tell me where you purchased your delta kite? i need parts for mine. cross spar ferrules.

Don’t let go of your kite. I lost one years ago. 🙁

We don't buy kite we build kite with bamboo

How convert dual lines to one line kite

Free kite flying tip: Have fun

I won't have fun....yes, I like to break rules

Luv the music

whats the first kite's name

Roses are red Violets are Blue This is all clickbait And he got you

I actually wanted to learn how to fly a kite...........

I never thought that people fly kites 50 in one row😯😯😯

Anybody know the type of kite at 0:38 ?

I feel like most of the rules were "have fun"

Thanks for sharing nice words mate!

Cute. haha, and entertaining. Good Fun all around.

For me, single line kites are not that fun. I'd rather fly those sport kites and have some action and control over the kite.

nyc bhai

Shite, thought this was going to be educational!!!

👍👍👍👍👍💪

this video gave me crippling depression

Very cute video. It was funny so I liked it myself. Hour others get it and enjoy it! 😀

it's a lot cheaper then flying R/C model aircraft I used to do them in my younger days and with the fuel at nearly £40 it's not cheap stuff just keep it away from naked flame
