@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 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.

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

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!

[FuzzyJar]

@LittleMangoGal Interesting. So what would you call it?

[bauer444]

Ican do this blindfold without a harness LOL

[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.
