There is this great rope tower in the park made like the Eiffel Tower, we're about two stories above ground, so when you hang by your toes, it's really a rush!
I wasn't joking about the hanging by your toes!
Love the poofy pants! When you fall it's like a parachute!
I like to call this move, the Boxing Kangaroo. ( I was trying to go for an alligator, but that didn't work).
This is where you balance on your hands, and wrap your legs around to the rope and stand up. It's pretty impressive, Andy makes it look a lot easier than it really is!
This is Jackson, he is the leader of the Alpine Club- in charge of getting people out and about in the bush!
Rink and Ryan Climbing up the tower.
Oops, we broke a slackline. How you ask? Well lets just say, you should really put padding between the rope and the bark. It was new when we started and it nearly broke in two places!
We had a fantastic day. The weather was perfect, the sun was shining, and the ground was muddy. Just perfect for crazy landings.
We had four slacklines set up! Two longer ones, one short one made from a rachet- Great for beginners, and one made of climbing rope- this was the hardest. If you haven't seen this sport before- YouTube it! There are some highly skilled slackliners out there!
Trevor you would be proud of me!! I've gotten a little better, and can sucessfully turn around and keep walking!
Have you ever sat on a slackline and tried to bounce up off your butt? Hehe- it didn't work- but boy was it sure fun to watch.
I had a fantastic day in the sun. It's so good to get out and just relax in the park.
Oh by the way, hehe, this is what early winter looks like!
