I discovered this sport a few weeks ago through the movie 'highliner' (with dean potter) and i'm totally fascinated..i also think that it is a very good balance training for rails and big air jumps...

i did a lot this summer, i actually went out and have all the equipment, but i havn't gone for about a month now, but it is awesome and really relaxing, also its really difficult, so whenever you can actually control yourself fo ra little bit it is the best feeling!

i got my own set up, and we also set one up about 80 ft long across the river. it was sick, but i wasn't good enough at the time that which i only made like 6 steps and fell off. But now, i can do it easy since i had tons of practice. during the summer after work i would go back to my house and walk on it
