The last time I flew a kite the line broke then it nose dived and hit a passing car.http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/cat.gif

The last successful time I flew a kite was 2 years ago at Tianamen Square. Good times.

I tried flying one in my neighborhood this past spring but the string broke and my hawk kite flew away onto a neighbor's roof...

I saw someone flying a kite the other day.

Ironicly he had a heard attack after the string came loose, and died slowly,a nd painfully.
But you can't generalize.

Kite flying is surprisingly entertaining. Then again -- I played PSO for close to 8 months, I suppose I'm just easily amused.

It's satisfying getting it up in the air without using a bike or a car in anyway... it's even more fun in Tianamen when you get to see everyone's kites up in the air (so many types!) and see people get really really angry and fight when they get tangled.

I like seeing how high up I can get the kite and how much control I have (i.e. letting it nose dive and "accidently" hitting people.)

Never flown a kite with any degree of success before. If you want to fly a big piece of canvas get a hangglider

The last time I flew a kite was about eight years ago, when I was in 3rd grade. I don't remember why we were doing it, but we had to make our own kite and go fly it behind the school.

That was the first and only time I ever flew a kite, I had video games that needed playing...
