Andy Lewis UK slackline master

[TheShrimpShackShoote]

So judging by this clip, you win by not landing a damn thing and constantly touching the ground? Hell, I'm a master at this since I've never left the ground!

seen better

[Splinta013]

im sure she ahm wtf he landed all tricks many times, otherwise he wouldnt agree to perform it in front of audience... there were just berry bad fibrations for him... hard to concentrate... on so many ways of unknown distraction... but when u practice, its normaly more peaceful when u do it ;) good job! i believe u didnt fell ever ^^

[LB10671]

i stopped after 1minute.

She didn't land shit. she kept falling off the line. the only thing she did do was the splits.

[chevsnholdens]

I bet Andy was wishing the Host would shut the fuck up and let him concentrate.. Who needs "come on andy, do it andy" being blasted through the speakers while trying to envision a backflip.. All that, plus a screaming crowd and doof doof music.

[MoePoisn]

he ain't that good

[AshTheMediator82]

Hes no Petit put it that way.

[rockstarnomad]

Has nobody noticed the glaring missuse of the word Slack here. Unless I'm missing something it looks like a piece of dynamic climbing tape pulled tight by means of a series of pullies,or a tensioning device. Therefor can't possibly be a "Slackline"

It's a "Dynamicline" isn't it ?

[sidney420]

ur fecked in the head

[rockstarnomad]

Oh! Then please enlighten me. Tell me why you personaly call it a slack line. I'm being very serious here. Your responce to my comment is both rude and offensive. So maybe you can put me right and explain the slack part of your slackline,'cause I'm fecked if I can

[sidney420]

I'm pretty sure when a sport has been around for over 30 years the name doesn't matter, all that matters is that the term is accepted by people who do the sport, and to try to question that is just ridiculous. Have you ever heard of NO-Boarding? It sounds like a board sport with no board. But it is snowboarding without bindings. Now I take it you don't slackline, so why don't you go out and buy some webbing and try it out, maybe you'll have enough fun to stop disusing trivial matters.

[johnson0verkill]

actually it's called snoskating...not no boarding you idiot

[sidney420]

hahahaha shows how much you know, noboarding is the next level in the evolution. Its a longer board, with a bungie chord going from either end to hang onto when you need it,look it up man , then tell me whos the idiot

[SparkyOB2]

Seeing as slacklining is a tightroping derivative(even though it is a very distant cousin most people when they first see a slackline think of tightrope walking), it makes sense for the first two people to call this type of line "slack" or "loose" in comparison. I cannot say if you have ever slacklined but the line is very loose and allowed to sway to and fro. And since looselining sounds terrible that leaves slacklining as the best name...

[rockfan88]

Well since sidney helped in no way to answer your question, I will try. I am not sure on this but this is what I have heard. The term slacklining is on opposition to tight roping because in tight roping, just like the name says, the rope is very tight. But here in slacklining, it is much more loose and has "slack: in it. I am pretty new to this, but it's what I have heard.

[SparkyOB2]

To avoid confusion, i understand where you are coming from. The term "Dynamicline" is very fitting considering the origin of the sport, but slacklining was made by a couple of guys in the Colorado mountains with nothing better to do. I doubt they really would have put all that much thought into the name...

[SparkyOB2]

And though a slackline may be pulled tight, it is not tight by any means. Tight when it comes to slacklining means that the line will hold a fair amount of weight and not touch the ground when strung between its two anchor points. But i am not going to lecture anyone on their own beliefs. If calling it a dynamicline will build your interest for the sport than i am all for it. As for me i will always call it slacklining.

[rockstarnomad]

A tightrope is called a tightrope,quite simply because it's tight.

A slackline is called a slackline,quite simply because it's slack

A dynamic line is called a dynamic line,quite simply because it,'dynamic

Just because a couple of ignorant climbers in Yosimite decided to call a dynamic line a slack line,and ther rest of the dynamic line funambulists followed like sheep,and called it a slackline,doesn't mean it is a slackline.

I appologise if this causes any distress,but it is fact

[LordShagrath]

0:50 wallride, I'm all like "waaaat"

[lozzrox]

[mieze87]

sneakers with a plane sole like vans slip ons should be fine

[faeggeraegge]

lol dont stress around

"and i bet andy is cooler than you." how do you think you are..... lil kid

and as a master andy has to stand these tricks.

[Frizbeeaj]

i am just a beginner slackliner....but, shouldn't he land back on the line for most of his tricks

[billoboyo]

Yea...

Frizbeeaj...

Andy is a sick slackliner, and I'd bet money he's alot better than you. You shouldn't be talking. Slacklining is hard stuff. And I bet Andy is cooler than you. I happen to know 'cause he's my camp director.

Don't criticize people that are slacklining especially Andy, because he'd whoop you in a slacklining contest!

-Bill

[fatkipper]

you go girl!

[retguy64]

Agreed. People can do flips and twists and turns off a slackline, but landing them is the trick. Most of these tricks were not landed, so by that standard I was not impressed, however, I must say he is a very impressive slackliner when he does manage to pull them off. I, myself, don't leave the line and do jump tricks, but what I can do isn't half bad. Major props for the aerial attempts. Takes balls.
