I took these pics when I was at Kapowsin last month. The weather wasn't cooperating, so this was entertaining!

Don't let Hooknswoop see these or he'll be trying to fly it. The main he has right now isn't much bigger than that.

Now you know I'm just kiddin' with you right Hook?All love to ya bro for that sweet reserve opening you packed for me.

Big Air makes 'em too... http://www.bigairsportz.com/bakites

You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.

They had two of those at Chicagoland Skydiving while I was there. They are a lot of fun.

They are definitely fun, with the biggest one and a good breeze, you can get it to drag you on your ass across a field and even lift you in the air a couple of feet. It's a pretty intense work out, too.

Yeah, not a kite, it is the real thing, and he has jumped it, just not landed it.

I want one of those kites, they are a blast on weather days. There are a few out at Skydive Chicago now. I was flying one of the Big Air Kites that someone had put wrist wraps on ....once a 40mph wind gust came along it took me for one hell of a ride as it carried me about 20 feet when I went airbone about 5-10 feet off the ground.

Saw someone try one on a 60mph wind day and the lines broke at the connection points just a couple of seconds into flight.
