Slacklining

On a low line I can do jump 360s and stuff. Setting up a water line this weekend to try and learn some flips.

This kicked the shit out of me and I failed hard… but it was a good learning experience.

I think Nik Wallenda is a badass… :gotme:

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.

My only issue with him is now anytime someone sees me slacklining I get some shitty fucking joke about Niagara Falls.

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.

Impressive:

Rainn Wilson (Dwight) trying to slack line = pretty funny

that’s a pretty redic stunt.

also, why do Volvo trucks look so cool and Volvo cars look completely gay?

Pretty sweet video!

holy fuck

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.

That scenery is stunning

Engineers - “Who the Fuck said it can’t be done…?”

This had to be an amazing view. Is that where you were staying at night time as well?

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. :slight_smile:

Did a chariot take you to the top or did you have a hefty hike up there?
