    Default Indoor kite flying

    Yes, it's not only possible but quite fun once you get the hang of it. This is my friend Glen demonstrating the technique. We found this nice little gymnasium at a local county park. It seemed to be mostly unused and they said we could fly there any time we want. :D

    PS - there are no fans involved (a lot of people think this is the "trick"), just a lot of running around and manipulating the kite which is designed to be extremely light-weight.

    Kerry,
    I would think a lot of running was involved.

    Not as much running around as you might think! The kites are extremely light and pretty much float in the air. It's more like pulling the lines around and then walking in a circle backwards. Look at Glen's feet - he's pretty well planted right there... :cool:
