"Stick it in there good. Dont be timid. Stuff it in there nice and tight."

@luigidude15 This monkey does rong tree times. in the center the briddle has to go over the under spreader, same on the right sight.

@TheFLKiIler if the kite had this "counterweight" it is clear that it is needed.. Any kite will keep flying without it, but it will lose precision to perform the tricks (intermediate/advanced level)

[TheFLKiIler]

@rodrigohie Oh.. i lost it.. it still flies.. Good lol. the kite itself is heavy so does it still need it?

[rodrigohie]

@TheFLKiIler that piece add weight to your kite, in order to "stabilize" it.

I have a question. There was a metal Peice at the bottom of my Spine. The guy said not to lose it. I lost it in a crash. what does it do?

hi Monkey asks regarding bridals: bought a secondhand similar like this, without any instructions. how can i fix the bridal for steering? the sliding knot: which sliding on which ? u see how he moves these knots for a sec exactly at 5.34 but not mentioned anything about it. i cant steer mine, saw another vids, and there are just the anatomies again.any draw, vid or instruction will be highly appreciated,thanks prep

HELP PLEASE...!! i have 3 of the same stunt kites. How can i strap them together one behind the other and fly them together AT THE SAME TIME? i already have a strong light line to replace the nylon it came with.

A few unecessary comments on here. I bought my son his first stunt kite today and found the instructions to be awful. This guy put it in laymans terms and saw that I had it ready to go in four minutes. Really useful video, thanks a lot.
