SLACKLINE: The Coolest Thing Since Poi!

[thepurplewitch2118]

My balance is horrible but i had fun falling off a slackline a few months ago lmao :-)

[akdirtbag]

@forrestp14 and @unoriginal345 It's called webbing...

[KingKrimson89]

Nick, your sense of balance is quite good. /respect

[mypoidiaries]

that's funny man!

[shelteringshade]

I can't help but to imagine this string cutting deep into my feet... *shudder*

[IggyZadr]

@shelteringshade

Ah nah.. it's about an inch wide, you just can't see it.

[forrestp14]

not a string. like a 1inch wide cord.

[unoriginal345]

@forrestp14

Its more like a strap than a cord.

I actually started doing poi BECAUSE of slacklining... I have now graduated to doing poi while on the slack line... soooo much fun.

[thetoobnoob]

I'm guessing that this is basically tightrope but not tight? :P

[pogoboy]

Sort of. It's tight, but elastic, where as a tight rope is usually static.

[IggyZadr]

@thetoobnoob

Hence the "slack" part =p

[crycan1985]

That is soooooo much more difficult that tightrope walking!

Way to go Nick

what would be really cool is when you get really good at slackline and able to control your balnce like a pro, lol, you should spin poi while your on the slack line!

[justnick33]

I allready done some poi swinging on the line, but to be honest. I like slacking and tricklining better. I'm just not that into poi.

[allthegearnoidea1986]

nik im having problems with spiral wraps, one poi is always longer than the other!! what am i doing wrong?? let me know, send me a message,

thanks adam

[4leggedspirit]

Love the video haha! You're always bringing us new and interesting things to try... thanks Nick!

My balance is terrible... so this could be very interesting! Might wait for your next few videos before I run out and buy though.x

[LawsofFlow]

So, Ive been slack lining a bit longer than ive been spinning. You should try some long and high lines. It is amazing at the frame of mind that you get in once you are used to walking 20+ feet off the ground. As for spinning on the line, I find it a bit hard to link stuff because of the natural movement in the line and keeping your planes straight can be a tad awkward. Devil sticking though seems to be a natural complement to it :)

[globalj420]

Slacklining is not as cool as poi but it is definitely really fun... My buddy had one in his backyard for awhile and i would go over quite often to practice on it.... Thats cool that ur getting into it :D

[LBarron714]

was this done with only one take??

[Scottstimo]

Meh, I'm pretty sure poi is cooler. You can't really use a fire slack line.

[RandomGoodness498]

says who!?!???

[justnick33]

Interresting YEAH!

New, no slacking has been around for a good 30-40 years now.

[serskull]

yet ! :)

[ShayloCray]

Wow great balance there Nick! That looks like so much fun! I would get one but I'd prolly hurt myself >.> Ahh whatever, I'll prolly get one anyway! Acheiving balance never hurt anyone but the clumsy.

[vicmobdf]

well i learned poi with ur vids so slacklines could be fun XD ¡¡¡¡ but i need some help with spiral graps

[sk8nska]

slackline and poi are my two favorite things to do! it helps a lot with skateboarding and surfing too!!! if you're going to buy one i reccomend a 1 in over a 2 in, you'll never get bored :D

[ruvidan]

Sooo...you are going to be spinning poi on a slackline then eh?? :) heheh.

[meenik]

Yeah, I think it helps almost any sport. Get one! :)

[deadkennedys909]

we use slackine in downhill skateboarding to build up leg mucle so we can hold our stance for longer periods of time.

[shmoofoobean44]

haha I didn't see the line at first, and it was really funny. I've always wanted one! As an iceskater i think i would do nicely. :D

[TtimePoi]

All the hippies do this at the disc golf field.. "then they give you a funny cigarette and you feel even more relaxed."

[VegaEtereo]

I want one, it looks fun. :P

[Mireneye]

Oh oh. I was playing with this last summer =)

I could do like two or three pirouettes but then I would fall and painfully hit something in the floor o_O

Also simply just spinning while walking is a nice feeling =)

[TheSuburbsShow]

the amazing thing about this video is that, i saw an ad for slacklines on the airplane, and then wanted to do it, but i have been doing poi for so long, so this vid was a message from above.

[WokkaWakka]

That was awesome!

[suigetsu88]

i went to circus smirkus camp and learned slackline

[meenik]

I can already poi a bit, I'll make a video of that soon :)

[sephiroth87932]

this would look amazing when poi-ing it'll look like flying through the moves =)

[fatpark512]

you should try and to balance on the line and spin poi at the same time. might be some fun.

[Insignia]

ooooo! ^__^
