I think he is too…it’s just boring. Between using the safety harness and charging for tickets, and asking for donations…I’ve completely lost interest. That doesn’t take away from how difficult it actually is and how talented he is. ---

I’m tired from hearing about it everytime the news comes on… “This just in, the walk over the falls is still scheduled for the same day we told you yesterday. Here is a shot of the practice rig. We were asked not to actually film him during practice. I don’t know why Channel 4 is reporting on this as ABC has the sole rights to televise the event…more on this non-changing story at 11.” The News just pisses me off in general. Father convicted for killing his daughter. Political yadda-yadda. This many died overseas today. This shooting happened in a part of the city that is “typically safe” by all eye witnesses…then NO MENTION of the Gumball race when it came through…Lame. ---

Way less impressive, but this shot is from Norway. Didn’t have a legit slackline, so tied a towstrap to a tree and tensioned the other end with a truck. ![http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b63/ctnewman3/FAB489C8-391C-4E50-A434-BC6A217224E1-3516-00000173E2CCAC3B_zps1939cfd5.jpg](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b63/ctnewman3/FAB489C8-391C-4E50-A434-BC6A217224E1-3516-00000173E2CCAC3B_zps1939cfd5.jpg) ---

Yeah. About 1/4 mile from there. The cliff in the BG is called smellveggen. I jumped off it once. The money cliff was about 2 miles to the right. 3000 foot sheer cliff. 🙂 ---
