Slack Lines

Anybody ever play with them? I just got introduced for the first time today at Kits Beach. I got the hang of it pretty good and was walking around with composure (and even a few tricks) by the end of the session. I'm actually going to have to make one now, they're way chill.

Those of you not yet introduced, it's when you strech a ribbon of nylon rope between two points and balance on it tightwire style. I tried it on 1 inch nylon rope and it was awesome.

My mind is racing with possibilities.

i started doing it just before i left utah. we would start sober and everytime you fell you would take a gulp of redbull and vodka. then get trashed and just fall and fall and fall.

i got a bad experience with one. i was at a rock climbing comp and they had one out for people to mess around on. well anyway i was doing it barefoot and slipped, the nylon went between my pinky toe and ring toe. cut me super deep and i broke my toe. now when i stand my left foot pinky toe is upside down
