I would love to see you try it. It's so much harder than it looks.

I understand its hard, but i have no desire to try it at all. It looks so stupid for one. Its a fucking tightrope. Yes doing it above a giant canyon is kinda sick, but for the most part, its so fucking stupid. Iv never seen anyone respectable doing it, its just a bunch of hippies and hipsters

1. You will fall
2. It will suck falling into the pool every time you fall
3. That would be really fun once you got good at it

dang, you should definitely hit me up when you get back though. but yep, we've had 5 lines set up at once there.

a few people have gotten pissed because they couldnt get into their boat slips, but thats a pretty easy conflict to avoid.
