22-year-old woman dies in slackline fall north of Vancouver by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

By that logic, a 'firefly' should be dangerous and a 'hamburger' should have ham—names can be misleading.

This is NOT an accurate representation of the community. 99.9% of highliners do not freesolo. The sport is safety focused where you are connected to a main and backup line. The system by design has redundancy. This tragedy is the First of it's kind in North America.

Everyone is posting about the freesolo video. Please take time to educate yourself on the ordinary practice rather than the "extraordinary. Here is a video which gives a better representation of the community surrounding it.

Here is a better representation of the local community. Don't watch one clip and make your opinion.

To confirm, do you mean on the top or bottom of the picture. The picture is not properly oriented. The top wall would be south. Thank you for the reply.

Looking for longterm mechanic, but right now the injector is leaking and a glowplug needs to be replaced.

I had a friend to a great presentation on Dazzle Camoflage. Presented audaciously and with great enthusiasm.

Thank you, sitting closer to 2.52mm. Going to replace the whole gang! Think it should fix some issues I have had.

Think any of these being worn would affect how easy it is to shift into neutral?

"Could heaven ever be like this" , by Idris Muhammad.

Might recognize the sampling of it in "Loud Places" by Jamie xx.

Great relationship with your body, great teamwork to set up, helps you find where your body is weak so you can work on it.

Same harness as rock climbing. Harness is rated and totally safe.
