7600 feet would be one big hole. i mean its a tough thing to do, BUT

1. its kinda likely that he is able to fall somehow ON the rope if he falls. you see at the beginning how effortless he gets back to the start.

2. i bet he walked fucking 200 miles on slacklines, its just the same stuff without a leash. its like on a high ropes course (i think that 10 metres are somehow worse than 100+), after 10 times up there i have no problem to go everything without safety equipment.


still a great vid, gave me chills

i got mad respect for extreme slack lines but i dont get it. are they in it for the fact that they COULD die? like adrenaline or the balance factor? i mean, i slackline but only 4 feet off the ground. i dont need to walk across an open canyon to make myself feel better about my balance lol.

Its essentially them being like Jamie Pierre (guy who hucked a 236ft. cliff).... They just require more adrenaline... or whatever chemical they get out of doing ridiculously dangerous shit.

This isn't slack-lining. This is tightrope walking. Just an FYI.

kinda a cheesy video, but you get the point, dan osman was a crazy fuck. he would set up slack lines over fat ass canyons and when he fell parachute out of it. unfortunately he died while doing a 1000 ft rope jump when his rope snapped.
