I thought I'd only watch the first 20 or 30 seconds -- just to see what indoor kiting was. Ended up watching the whole thing because of the complete dedication and sincerity this guy has for his craft.
I never realised this was a thing... Nor would I have deemed it possible. Amazing what skills and manually created airflows can do to, an otherwise, lifeless kite. Simply incredible.
Very Nice! Your timing is really good. I like the touches to the floor on the creschendos. I've flown quad line, outdoor kites, they're challenging enough with wind, I can imagine the practice it take to go windless.
This is one of the most inspirational videos I have seen, striving to surpass Spencer is my motivation this year. Scratch all my previous new years resolutions as I now have one and that is to use my currently being delivered kite to beat nay destroy Mr Watson in the sport he has made self-conscious discomfit to the performance I will deliver.
I've always wanted to get into indoor kite, I used to do indoor and outdoor guard along with tons of ballet so I'd probably enjoy it. You however, are incredible at it, don't ever stop flying.
Okay... wait... WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?!? That was stunning. Very few people in this world can translate music into motion, and this guy is one. Wicked song choice too, I think I like it better than the original.
Never thought I'd hear Paint It Black in an indoor kite flying competition, then again, I never thought I'd be watching an indoor kite flying competition.
I just want to point out that dislike does not mean do not like. In other words, if you are indifferent to this video, you do not dislike it. You merely do not like it. Dislike means to detest whereas do not like does not imply any amount of loathing.
This particular video was taken from the Windless Kite Festival in Long Beach, WA. There are a few events in the Pacific NorthWest, and a couple on the east coast that I am aware of. All US competition is sanctioned through the AKA, and you should be able to find more info at kite dot org.
I never knew this event existed. I presume the kites are made of ultra light weight materials so the walking speed stays low enough to keep them in the air right? That was fun to watch!
Proud to have Spencer as a teammate on iQuad (see his shirt), try a search for "iQuad Bohemian Lincoln City" or take a look on the Team iQuad website for more info about Spencer "Watty" Watson. ;)
The clapping is actually encouraged. Part of the score is based on entertainment value. The clapping aids the overall score, so the audience is encouraged to clap if they see something they like.
Dang I will honestly say that was the coolest kite thing I've ever watched.

thanks for coming out. i know your parents might not understand but good for you.
I never realised this was a thing... Nor would I have deemed it possible. Amazing what skills and manually created airflows can do to, an otherwise, lifeless kite. Simply incredible.
Wow, this was actually really expressive and beautiful
The thing that takes the performance to the next level is the amazing musical piece.
Nailed it. Never seen a kite flying indoors but you deserved your 1st place for sure!!
I didn't even know such competitions existed, but the whole 4 minutes I was completely breathless. MAD SKILLZ YOU GOT THERE.
The most amazing video i've seen in a while. A wonderful ballet.
You are an artistic pilot :-)
Thank's for the show!
Wow that was really awesome!! The way he moved the kite made it look alive plus the epic soundtrack paint it black :)
I loved the instrumental version of "Paint it Black," and awesome job with the kite!
How did I not know this existed! That was awesome!!
this is awesome !
so much hard work, time, dedication ! i hope you won
I didn't even know kites still existed, let alone had cool events like this. Awesome routine.
Easily the best indoor kite flying video I have ever seen.
How cool! I had no idea what to expect. This is actually quite impressive!
brought a tear to my eye! great flying and awesome music
Great job Napoleon. Pedro is crying tears of happiness.
Bwaaaaa! AWESOME!!! I have never seen a competition like this and I would love to learn how to do it.
Very Nice!

i did not know that existed, have no idea how hard it is to do what you have done there, but it's awesome!

Awesome! It's amazing what people can do when they put their dedication into it.
That's pretty sweet. I can't fly a kite on a windy day, let alone indoors! Good job.
Glad you know him personally, however I doubt he would appreciate you sharing this with us.
I've always wanted to get into indoor kite, I used to do indoor and outdoor guard along with tons of ballet so I'd probably enjoy it. You however, are incredible at it, don't ever stop flying.
this is badass, and i have no idea whats going on. this kid put a lot of time and effort into this and he is very talented
Awesome Job, Spence!!! Keep rockin' it, mister!
This is the last video I thought I would see a Starcraft reference. Well done!
Thank you!
"Why yes, I am flying a kite indoors synched to an orchestral version of Paint it Black."
Beautiful. Thank you for posting.
Iam so proud of my Grandson doing this , Love ya Grampa
I never realized that my cousin was so awesome. I didn't see this when it came out initially. Making a kite fly without wind is pretty cool. :P
this made me cry... tears of joy
I never realized Apocolyptica did a cover. Thank you very much :)
I must say, I've never heard of anything like this, but this was spectacular! Very impressive :)
Great job Spence!!! Theresa looks so proud! Its adorable!!!
Very talented, thanks for the video.
He's so talented. I think he's ready for the big stage.
That was so totally awesome!!!
Really graceful! That was pretty cool.
I didn't know this existed.. Well done.
This was strangely fascinating to watch.
For all of those looking for the song it is by Apocalyptica - "paint it black".
Originally a Rolling Stones song with the same title.
Must admit, that was pretty cool. Great job, mate
"Whatever you are, be a good one"...Awesome show, never knew this existed.
He did a great job. I enjoyed the video.
If a man enjoys what he does well, then who am I to judge? Awesome job man!!
Okay... wait... WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?!? That was stunning. Very few people in this world can translate music into motion, and this guy is one. Wicked song choice too, I think I like it better than the original.
Never thought I'd hear Paint It Black in an indoor kite flying competition, then again, I never thought I'd be watching an indoor kite flying competition.
That's awesome! I didn't know this even existed!
yes, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. The album is called Classic Rock
the cargo pants was really the cherry on top
Most excellent! I'll have to watch one of these events if they come around to my part of the country as this video was A LOT of fun to watch.
who knew indoor kite flying could be so awesome.
I just want to point out that dislike does not mean do not like. In other words, if you are indifferent to this video, you do not dislike it. You merely do not like it. Dislike means to detest whereas do not like does not imply any amount of loathing.
Stunning and technical. Love it.
Excellent job, Spencer.
I listen to AC/DC while I watch this. Gets me SO PUMPED UP!
Great. I'm watching indoor kite completions on UA-cam. I'm going to die alone.
The magical wonders of a boy and his kite.
That was sick actually... nice work
This is cool, I've never seen anything like it before.
4 minutes of my life I will never get back.
This is a lot cooler to me than it probably should be..
Wow! For everyone who has something negative to say, go do that better than he did then! Good for you Spencer! That was amazing!!
Totally awesome! Who knew??
I didn't even know this was a thing. Pretty cool!
Thoroughly impressed
that was amazing the kite had a personality
He's fantastic, but I enjoyed listening to the orchestral Paint It Black even more :)
This needs to be a Olympic sports
that was the best one of those moves I've ever seen
This would be AWESOME to see in WGI!
That was incredible! I've always thought windless kites were awesome.

I found this completely hilarious for some reason.
Interesting video, had me mesmerized.
This is kinda awesome! Well done dude!
seriously lacking a sparkly leotard, but still i dig it.
Great. I always liked windless kites.
This is a beautiful thing.
An editor here... I saw no problem with the edit, there were not that many cuts... easy to watch :)
Amazing hand/eye/body control!
I never knew this event existed. I presume the kites are made of ultra light weight materials so the walking speed stays low enough to keep them in the air right? That was fun to watch!
This is the first time I actually see this. So I have nothing to compare with. But I think this is very good and he must be a pro. :)
The event consists of more than just this competition. It is the Windless Kite Festival after all.
That looks amazing
Outstanding!!!!!
Proud to have Spencer as a teammate on iQuad (see his shirt), try a search for "iQuad Bohemian Lincoln City" or take a look on the Team iQuad website for more info about Spencer "Watty" Watson. ;)
officially over a million views. this is what mtp studios does.
There's no worse feeling than showing up at the rec center to play some ball only to find there's a windless indoor kite competition happening.
nice work Napoleon Kiteamite!
I was expecting the kid to pull off a double back flip over the kite. Then I would have been stunned!
The clapping is actually encouraged. Part of the score is based on entertainment value. The clapping aids the overall score, so the audience is encouraged to clap if they see something they like.
Yes, they are made with a light Icarex ripstop fabric and carbon rods.
wow, people needs to stop hating on this guy. just because they know they cant do it THIS well !
I enjoyed this
