Check your TV listings.... should be rebroadcast sometime later this week.
If not, check for it on shows's website:
http://www.nbc.com/americas-got-talent/video/categories/seas...
It should show up there in a couple of days as Episode 506 (I believe... the use multiple naming schemes for shows, and it drives me crazy).
Otherwise, it should be on Hulu and FanCast sometime next week.
@WG: did you catch the performer's name? Just wondering if it is Tristan Underwood, Spencer Watson (Watty) or one of the other NW fliers.
ATB,
Sam

As painful as those shows are to watch, it was great to see such a positive response from the audience and judges!
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

That all started with someone teaching a kid how to fly!

In our region the 9 pm 1st-run show from last night will be on again at 8 pm tonight (and the 9pm show tonight is on again Saturday) I'll look for
it.

Mood: They're ALL good ideas. Right up until they become BAD ideas.
Nice to see real talent go through. I love watching the show but get tired of all the singers and dancers. Sure it's talent but that's what American
Idol and That Dance Crew show is for - leave AGT to unique talents like these. Hope he does well. I could see a Vegas show based on choreographed
kiting. Totally!

Just got an email with this info...
Connor's mother also happens to be the AKA's Region 9 Director, Amy Doran. So kiting runs in the family.

Turns out I just heard from KTIA (Kite Trade Industry Assoc.) that Connor's mom Amy Doran is AKA Director for the area.
In the family!

Errr....ummm. KTAI (Kite Trade Association International) ?
Anyone on Facebook that would like to show their support for Connor can do so at:
Help Connor Doran GO ALL THE WAY ON America's Got Talent!!! .
No Facebook apps are loaded or anything. It's just a tip of the hat. I expect it would warm Connor and his mom's hearts to see the friend count
escalate.

I like how the one judge admitts he thought it was laughable until he saw the kid do his thing.
While not knocking the kids skills ( He's got talent ) a quick search online will show you some even better fliers with some incredible moves. IMHO
I am definately going to introduce Rev's to the old folks home ( or loonie bin ) when they lock me up ! :roll:

I am motivated to give this a try. We used to have an indoor crew here and I think I will try and find a space for this winter. Bugeyed has been kind
enough to let me try his indoor Rev' when we find a space !
Who on here flies indoors?

I fly some indoors...I usually fly my indoor kites outdoors when the wind is non-existent. As said to me by a good friend of mine....strong wind
builds muscles, light wind builds skills.
My indoor flying is ok but nothing near the caliber of Connor's and many others.
