I’ve been trying this with some friends in bidwell park, it’s really hard, and really entertaining. To me it seems like yoga extreme… Anyway, I just got my own setup yesterday from EMS (It’s just 2 lengths of 1" climbing webbing and 5 carribeaners)… I’m excited to get into it. Walking it is relaxing, but you can do tricks on it too… ---

I have a few questions here Does it hurt to walk on the rope/line? Is there a certain specified height that you set the line up at? I’d love to give that a whirl but I just see whats left of my knee getting destroyed ---

It doesn’t hurt anything unless you really fall. I am pretty durable, but haven’t taken much damage from it. I’ve only fallen really hard once… sometimes the rope will slap you and brushburn you, but that’s about it. The height can be as low as you want it, so long as it doesn’t touch the ground when you’re standing on it. I set this up at lunch: ---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ---------- > [@97\_B18b1](#): > > all done with longboarding and moved onto another obscure activity? Fuck no. I was just out longboarding this weekend, skated from north buffalo to the marina, then ripped the parking garage a few times. I’m trying to get to allegany again this weekend… ---
