[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.

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

[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!

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 ^^

i stopped after 1minute.

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

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

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.

[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...

[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...
