Generally, I scorn the little teenybopper saying:"LOL". I don't know why it makes my skin crawl. But you actually did make me laugh out loud...when it looked like the kite attacked you. And by the way, you need a haircut!
When you said it was really windy I had visions of a gentle breeze me living in one of the windiest states and all(mostely because of lack of tree) but holy that wind was strong. I wouldn't have even ventured out of my door. Wonderful post as all of your post usually are. Watching kites flying really brings back childhood. I usually wasn't so successful to say the least but that's a different story.
Wonderful post, Evan (http://e-vlog.blogspot.com)
P.S. Thanks for signing up for my site Josh. I am planning to take a different direction with it. Maybe new PHP code or a new host. I'll keep you posted.
I'll love it when veer you get a 'vlogging-partner' that will help you make the shots. I mean, if being alone you makes this good shots, I can't imagine what you'll eventually do with a second person.
At least it flew a few seconds. And yeah, THAT was a lot of wind...
Such a Charlie Brown moment . . . Rachel and I gave up on cheap kites a long time ago! It's all about the two-handled stunt kites now--but I don't think we'd ever try them in winds like that!!
It's too windy I kept thinking to myself. Way too windy. Its never gonna fly, I thought. You gave it a fighting try though and what kind of fun would it have been in a gentle breeze anyway. None. No carnage. No breaking braces. No plastic flapping violently in the hurricane force winds. Thanks for sharing. Always fun to watch.
I think if you would've tied a crunched beer can to the tail, it might've flown a little better, and with the way that wind was blowing, maybe two beers cans...certainly brings back memories, of paper kites, launched and left about a mile up.
Oh NO Josh! We got those same winds a day later and they were wickedly wild. I had to stay the night at a friends in town because it was too dangerous to drive home with all the blowing snow and the like.
I liked how I could hear the wind howling in the background when you were introducing the post.
I totally knew the kite wasn't going to fly, and was pleasently entertained when it began to attack you.

The wind was blowing so hard someone could have probably put you on a string and flew you all over the sky!
I was scared to death Spiderman was going to go into the power lines!
Great video Josh. Keep up the GREAT work!

I like your hairstyle. You remind me of the guy from that 70's show.

I'm glad Spidey made it into the air, finally! For a minute it seemed more like you were being attacked by a kite.

I love your outdoor adventures - this was great from start to finish. It's been ages since I've flown a kite, you've inspired me.

Good thing you didn't buy a bigger kite, I'm sure it would have taken you away with it!
