Hot-Air Balloon Games, Great Reno Balloon Race 2009

It was quite interesting how these pilots could read the breezes and get their balloons right over the target areas, where a passenger would toss beanbags at targets. One game was a proximity test -- they had to get their beanbag as close to the target as possible, but it had to be south of the target. The other game was 21 -- there were playing cards laid out on the field and they had to toss two beanbags trying to get the best hand, like in blackjack.

This was my old camera, which was not made for video-taking, so the quality of video and audio is not good. But I want to get through these as-yet-unposted videos that I had shot with it. So I'm mixing them up with videos from my new camera.
