Ouray Ice Festival Highline 2007 - Joe's Walk

Not my best work, but entertaining. My feet were frozen due to the temps (10-15F), the overhead was too tight so it constantly pulled me upwards and off balance and I broke my camera right before this trip. It was a great trip overall but my highline walk video didn't end up as impressive as I'd hoped. I tried letting go of the overhead a lot but it was under so much tenion it just smacked me in the face if I let go of it. It looks like a got racked when I missed the jump landing. Normally I always nail my jumps but I guess I couldn't feel my feet enough and slipped. Thankfully I've learned to fall and catch the line on my thigh instead of getting hit in sensitive areas.

Sorry, no video that I could find had it. I'll give it a shot to record as soon I can, right now it's more skiing and snow shoeing weather.
