Listen to the whole thing... I saw the comments and one thing to take into account before jumping to conclusions is it was created about 10 years ago.
However, that looks SO COOL at the end. Of course... I wouldn't ever do it but it's crazy cool.

If you look at the credits, it was actually produced in 1992 - 18 years ago.
I remember seeing them at WSIKF. At that time we were getting tired of being pulled by stacks of Hawaiian Team kites. After seeing what they were
doing, we started building our own stacks of from 7-14 6' flexis for pulling - NOT LIFTING. That was before buggies came along.
