The kid was great. Why? Because he's super talented AND ... Andy set the tension perfect for his weight so he would have the advantage to really shine at his maximum potential. Very cool of Andy to do that. I think Andy also faked his second fall, so the kid was guaranteed to look like the underdog champ. Andy knows that if the kid does really great on national TV, it will inspire other kids to take up the sport. Andy Lewis is a super human athlete and an honorable man!! Just brilliant. Well done fellas. Slacklining is awesome.
You all probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
Just discovered Andy Lewis, and I'm just now learning that he was on Conan NINE YEARS AGO, after the SUPERBOWL. Lol. (And even more amazing this vid only has 133 comments...)
i dont think word will be able to describe how hardcore this is. *50 years from now* kids,i watched a man jump up and down on a rope at the superbowl halftime wearing a tonga.
Alex Mason (kid in the yellow shirt) is one of the best ranked slackliners in the world. He went to the World Championships in 2012 and got second. Kid is a balllllllerrrr
I know the kid in the yellow shirt. He goes to my school and practices slackling at the same gym where i run on the treadmill. I FREAKING KNOW A GUEST FROM CONAN O'BRIEN. BE IMMPRESSED.
I think people are just unsure what to think about it. It's so out there and different and people haven't learned how to react to it yet xD When I go slacklining in public, I get so many weird looks...
walking a extremely tightened wire is more like a thin stretch of concrete or something than a "slack" line, but i agree the circus performers have way more skill.
try to even balance on one for longer than 10 seconds and you tell me theres no talent. the circus has poles to balance. either way it's all impressive.
this sh88 is like yo-yo tricks...it looks cool on a commercial....but you ain't never going to pay to watch a full-show of this...with 5 ppl doing the same tricks in different outfits....with none of the risk factor of a high-wire walker in a circus
Lewis currently holds the world highline record. He walks lines much higher than circus people, without a net, and usually without a tether. Out in the open, with wind
