As cool as it is there really is no diversity to the sport. With skateboarding you can take it wherever and session wherever. With skiing you have countless amounts of mountains, terrain and urbans. With this new sport you pretty much hang it from a tree or anything like it. Neat but not marketable.

ye ye Kitchener Ontario, thats where ive lived for my whole life. its not really popular in kitchener though, like i've only seen it once and it was actually those dudes that invented it. they do it outside of their house on this tree on a street called Brock Street. it looks like so much fun, i really wanna try it but it looks dangerous. you go so high and if you let go of the rope, your done.
