diablopilot 2 #5 November 16, 2007 Because it's the single most retarded craze I've seen hit the DZ. I have seen more skydivers injured in one evening of slacklining than I ever have seen in a full weekend at the DZ. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

Or is it just that you fell off when you tried it? Quote I have seen more skydivers injured in one evening of slacklining than I ever have seen in a full weekend at the DZ. We had a line up for 9 months at Davis with no injuries. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadHead881 0 #10 November 16, 2007 HAHA I'm lovin the response here! Well i absolutely cant get enough of it...it really has become my form of meditation and i feel weird without doing it at least once a day...i was thinking it would be awesome to have one at a DZ the other day thats awesome you guys did that...i think it would be an awesome pre jump ritual to get the brain and body working as one before your jump!What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail...

TrophyHusband 0 #14 November 16, 2007 Quoteits more of a rock climber than skydiver crowed.... all though... highlining is where its at... maybe one day... base highlining i think its already being done. i've seen a couple things on discovery and rush hd about a guy named dean potter doing highlining. he went to mexico to to a base jump from the line into the cave, but i think he got hurt on a cave jump from the edge. before he jumped line.

Loonix 0 #15 November 16, 2007 I think at least half the people in my club does it. There's a line on the dropzone too... Why? Well I don't know... it's fun? I've walked two highlines so far, and there's just something about setting up a system like that, and then trust your life to it. I think I was more scared then, than on my first skydive, and I still have to keep my balance... So it's simply a great challenge. And should you be interested, here's the videos of both lines. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=Looniks .. the quality sucks, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadHead881 0 #16 November 16, 2007 I really like that Highline video...i wish i had some pictures or video of me on my line...i should get on that...But I've been wanting to do really high lines ever since i started just don't really know where to do them and i don't have the rock climbing experience to set up a line like that...but someday ill learn! the highest ve gone is ten feet on my 50 foot line...It is one of the funnest things you can do i think. What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
