Thursday – Slacklining

I have been talking to Rio (one of the interpreters from Beijing) about his interest in slacklining for the past week, and today I finally got to witness the sport. He and his friend Chip can do some really cool tricks on the line: jumps, spins, slides, surfing…it was so much fun to watch. They let me try to stand up the line once too, though, as you can imagine, that didn’t last long. But it was an excellent time. I made a slideshow out of it that you can see here.
