Highly skilled kite flying

Highly skilled kite-flying...

The guy flying the 3 kites is in his 80s, and he's from Canada . He
comes to the Washington State International Kite Festival every year.
His skin is like leather as he normally flies with his shirt off. He
is deaf, so when he flies we hold our hands up and wave them for
applause. He flies 2 with his hands and the 3rd one is attached to his
waist. Enjoy!

That is an amazing display. I've ever seen anyone handle three kites at once and certainly never seen anyone able to handle two with such elegance.

Thanks for watching, I just wanted to offer something awesome and beautiful to wish everyone a happy new year.
