Vid Day Monday

Flat Wing kites, like the ones in this video, were very unstable and prone to crash.  These have been replaced by the newer delta wing kites that shows like Tommy Bartlets and Cypress Gardens use now.  These flat wing kites would crash if they got to far onto their side or if they lost the pull from the boat (ie rope was released or boat stopped).  I saw a guy crash onto the shore in front of a crowd in the early 90s.  I thought the guys I saw flying this things were nuts, but some of the guys in this video are flying without a harness...death!

CRB Off-Topic - Songs That Make Me Want to Be a Drummer

By
Going way off-topic, off-sport this morning with this...most likely because I just sat through another Cubs loss and I would rather take out my anger pretending to be a rock drummer then do something more destructive. So, here is my list of five songs that make me want to rock the hardest. There are a bunch of songs out there that make me dream of being a rock star, face-melting guitar, or lead-singer shit...whatever that means, etc, etc. But, here are songs that make me want to get my John Bonham on. 1) Metallica - One Like there would be any other song then this. Have the double bass drum and just go nuts? Yes please. No one can say that back in the day when this song came on the radio, or wherever you first heard it, you didn't go, "God Damn...what was that?!" Then beat the crap out of your brother with a wiffle ball bat. Oh and the video is bad ass, when your 8 years old, these dudes put the fear of god in you. 2) Foo Fighters - Everlong (from Letterma
