Shadow flying a Revolution kite...

John Barresi shadow flying his B-Series Pro at the 2009 Washington State Intl Kite Festival in Long Beach, WA... An old skill, exercise or "trick", shadow flying was more common in the very early 90's, along with "kite chi".

Also note the partial one-handed technique.

He is hitting the shadow... why?

[kitelife]

@Chikokishi : Just for exercise... A little play, timing and interaction. ;)

@viper400guitar : For this particular exercise, that's true... It's not typical though, just a fun, challenging thing to do now and then. ;)
