Dean Potter - Crazy tightrope walking, base jumping aerialist...

[ZYSKIful]

po prostu podziwiam

[glegmo]

I have also contemplated landing a wing suit,

The maths say is very doable.

A good glide ratio suit with a gradient transition and a wheel or a ski to evenly disperse the energy and it's done!

@dyikini

If you get a chance, you might want to rename this video. The sport is "slacklining" rather than tightrope walking. Thanks for posting it!

[LittleMangoGal]

@FuzzyJar No, it's not slacklining because of they type of material he's using--look at the rope. It's rounded unlike a slackline which is flat due to webbing.

[FuzzyJar]

@LittleMangoGal Interesting. So what would you call it?

[LittleMangoGal]

@FuzzyJar It's tightrope walking like it says in the video title. Slacklining as a sport is low to the ground and is concerned with performing tricks on the line. Type "Gibbon slacklining" into the search bar.

[ownedbystealth]

@LittleMangoGal dipfuck. thats cuz its taught... the strength is in the middle, the highest part when taught

[LittleMangoGal]

@ownedbystealth It's called tightrope walking. It is a rope not flat, elastic webbing. The fact that it IS taught is the reason why. A slackline has less tension, hence the word "slack." The webbing bounces and sways when you walk on it, which is why it is often used to teach people to surf.

[lovehorrordotde]

Insanest video ever

[Ultranothing]

I was intimidated by hiking the Appalachian trail. If he can not only admit his fears, but push himself past those fears to do something as insane as THAT?

Well I've really just got no excuse!

[laraivo1]

OMG..... Respekt .... Meine Hände kamen ins schwitzen beim ansehen dieses Videos !!

[Nittanynils]

No safety line at all :-)

Cool skill to catch the line if he falls.

[floatingpenguins1]

I thought he was trying to kill himself at 0:15

[kontin14]

"find a special location to fly and land my body on the ground and live through it" Wow wtf is wrong with him haha

[tommybass40]

The part where he slacklined without a parachute made me cringe. Nuts!

[Kooroshebozorg]

what u mean by slacklined?

[OhYeABallz]

hey isnt tight rope walking he is slacklining. theyre pretty simillar but a slackline is more dynamic and instead of a cable one inch webbing is used

[Kooroshebozorg]
