First impression from the line up at the start, safe to bet their all stoners.
Second impression about the 1:30 mark, oh, heh, that's pretty neat.
Third impression about the 2:30 mark, HEY, these kids just couldn't afford a trampoline.
*on a different note, wtf is with the t-shirts "slack line is not a crime"? Are they really being dickish enough to set this up in public places where it would be a crime?* |

Wasn't so much a film about the competition but more of a documentation of a douchebag hipster convention !!!
Nice bouncing on a strap though ! |

You would think if you are a male and you participate in this.... might as well just get neutered. |

Wow- so much sh*t talk in this thread. I love how something as simple and awesome as other people developing skill and having fun with an activity can arouse the ire of the internet. |

Because the other sports didn't offer enough chances to rack yourself... |

Rubberband gymnastics-they'll have to wear tight swimsuits with their hair in buns before they ever get that into the Olympics |

This is a great home movie. Just like any home movie, it's only interesting to those who are in it.
A 30 second overview of the "activity" would have been better |

I'd have been more impressed with this had it been at least 6 ft off the padded mat. |

Ridiculous. 2 mins of self important build up for an activity that seems to be exclusively populated by over-privileged brats. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Not. |

Impressive stuff at ~2:40. Spilts into one-handed balance on a slackline...damn.

Dean Potter takes it much further than that.
One example
There was an interesting documentary on him on Channel 4. This link is probably UK-only
The series was called Daredevils and this episode was called The Sky Walker. Maybe people elsewhere can find it (or fake being in the UK to watch it). |

No wonder humans haven't landed on Mars yet. We're spending our time doing this or watching reality television. [/cynicism] |
