If you thought walking across a slackline was difficult, try skiing across one. ⛷

This is a project I helped rig, coordinated, and think tank.  Enjoy

Slack Light

I rigged the Redbull Slacklight Project in Switzerland

This project required climbing, lots of bolting, losing my wallet, being wet for hours, rigging a space net to catch Haruki if he fell, and of course tensioning a trickline tight as a guitar string 5m over a raging river and rocks.  Check out this link to watch the whole video.

Slacklife TV Episode 81 "Over Easy 469m Highline!"

.American Record for Longest Highline

This walk will be something I will definitely refer back to as “when it clicked.”  It felt so unreal to relax and enter a beautiful meditation and stay there... for minutes on end... strolling down and endlessly long line.

Slacklife TV Episode 80 "Sky High Slackline."

Drone footage of the Castleton line. Enjoy.

This is the longest highline I have managed to get across but, I walked just about 450m of the 493m line. It was amazing, beautiful, challenging, and something I will remember forever.
