| This kite had evil in its eyes. This was the highest
it flew before it came crashing down, nearly "knocking
out" a photographer for the Nation Newspaper. |
|
|
|
| |
|
| If that wasn't enough, the guys tried again to
get it into the air, but once again it came crashing down. This
time, it sent an elderly lady diving to the turf for safety.
All four attempt to get this kite flying failed, and each time
it sent spectators scampering for cover. |

| This was the kite everyone was waiting to see
fly... or try to fly. Approximately 40 feet tall, spectators
argued weather it even had a chance to fly. "It too big",
"de wind ain't strong enough", "it gine breck
up", "de rope too thin", "it getting late,
when these men gine fly this thing!?" |
|
|
|
| |
|
| After hours of waiting, the guys were ready to
fly the big one. The kite's rope was attached to a truck which
was going to pull the kite into the air. Just look at the amount
of teamwork it took to get the kite standing. Then there were
shout of "pull", and pull the truck did.... Then...
BRACKS!!! |

|
| The Kite's frame broke and that was its end. Good
effort guys! |

|
| These kites on the other hand made it to the end
of the show. |
