Slackline Extravaganza

Slack, slack, relax, eat, slack = LIFE

Life in Germany is pretty amazing right now. Breakdown of what's been happening...

I got to Germany (July 2nd) and met up with the rest of the Gibbon Team (Andy, Mike, Hayley, Faith, and more) in Stuttgart. We went out and set up some tricklines in the park, and slacked till the day was done. Rested the next day and chilled out with two AWESOME people. Day 3 was the first Gibbon Slacklines World Cup competition in Munich, which was amazing. From there I went back to Stuttgart and hung out until July 10, when me and a few of the other riders went to Illmensee, Germany. We set up a sick trickline over a lake, and we have an awesome setup in the frontyard as well. Today we will set up a nice longline somewhere between 100-120 meters (around 330-390 feet).

First day in Germany was awesome! I hung out with a bunch of my friends and threw some sick moves that left me kinda in pain. :) Here's a quick video of a few of my new moves!
