it helps your balance. a lot. it's climbing rope strung between two posts (trees) using a pully system.
there's a pic of a kid doing it in the cali summer sesh. thing on the news, dated the 12th.
anywho, i have 3 of them and i take it to the park. the ladies love it.

okay. more specificly. how many can do it?
it's mad hard to learn, but i can now jump onto it, spin a 1 and a 3 on it, walk backwards/forwards. that's pretty much it.

pretty much.^^ but since the rope is nylon and it's pretty tight, it bounces a lot... like you could trampoline 5 or 6 feet into the air from the rope. it takes 3, sometimes 4 grown people to pull the rope tight enough, depending on how long the setup is.

uhm, small rope 15 feet long, long rope is 75 feet long... i don't think it's possible to explain in a forum...search it up on google, but what i do is i start by tying the long rope directly to the beaner, then i loop it through the other two...

short rope--2and3 right here.............1 here---long rope

go from one and put the line through two on the other side...
then put it through one, back to 3 on the short rope. then go back to one and put the line under the rope you already weaved through.
then pull.

that made no sense whatsoever.
