@@MichaelRelevant i probably wouldn't try it, i have done some indoor rock climbing in the past. but i am working on getting in better shape and have had back/shoulder injuries in the past.
Man this is a great idea .. especially for peeps that have taken a slam and dont want to let the mind win with flight over fight. Im 47.. got back into skating 6 months ago after 34 years off. I busted my ribs a couple of days ago, washing out from a rock fakie, something i have done 1000+ times.. just happened so quick, couldnt break my fall and my ribs hit the concrete before anything. I was just coming back from the same injury.( but a washout from an ollie) The mind can play awful tricks and one thing i have realised is that in the process of hoping that i dont lose that trick, i have put an unnecessary pressure on myself and the future. I dont wanna let the mind win, and every day off is just killing me. How have you battled this in the past? Great idea on the system man, refined it could be a real selling product!
@@MichaelRelevant gotta remember… most humans are super lazy and if something is good and works and is a reasonable price it’s justified… just like all my skateboards 😃
Alright f*ck it, I'm ignoring your warning and building this 😂 the mini at my local is so gnarly, and I've wanted to skate it for years but just can't bring myself to do anything more than drop in and kickturn. I get what you mean though, it definitely looks like it could introduce it's own risks
How well would a climbing harness tethered to the slack line work? You can get a cheap climbing harness thatll hold you for $40-$60 No hassle with holding onto the handle. No risk of tearing the skin on your hand or bicep in your arm. Let me know what you think!!
I have one and I’ve tried it but it’s king of hard to do. Maybe if the guard rails were higher. You have to keep your face and head away from the slack line because the side of it cuts like a saw when you move fast.
I’ve seen zip lines and ropes but never a slack line. I used a zip line for this about a decade ago but just thought of the slack line. The slack line is way more portable.
it's similar to learning kickflips holding onto a chair or rail to get used to the timing
I made a video in an office chair a long time ago when I first made this channel, but I don’t know if it’s still up.
Yep that’s finally how I learned kickflips as a kid. Holding onto the back of a chair in my bedroom.
Great idea!
Thanks I appreciate it. I’m gonna take it to the street soon.
@@MichaelRelevant cant wait to see how it performs on a handrail.
that's pretty sick, and a good idea. slacklines are fun. but it was kind of an editing trick.
Was it an editing trick or just editing? When you reframe 360 footage you have to choose some type of frame you can’t just leave it in 360 right?
@@MichaelRelevant fair enough
mini ramps terrify me. i usually just pump/kick turn below coping. i can drop in, but haven't got the hang of reentry if i stall on the coping.
You could probably do this. But officially I have to tell people not to try it.

What if it was attached to a harness like when you jump out of a air craft to parashoot
I could, but I really don’t wanna get hung. Got to avoid your neck getting caught on anything.
this is essentially what Steve-O does with his olympic rings, super cool!

I’ve thought about it and I think it’s just so easy to make. It would be hard to sell.
You also have to have quite a bit of upper body strength to do it.

Genius!
Brilliant!
Thanks I appreciate that
Dude i wanna try this
It was a lot of fun, but it’s definitely dangerous
I love how your brain works.

Wear a helmet and some eye protection. It will slice your eye if you hit it. Can you do pull ups?
@@MichaelRelevant good shout! I could probably do one or two, reckon that'll be enough? 😂

magnetic boots.
skate camps have been doing this for years to help kids to learn faster.
the very same setup on mini is used in a couple of camps in California

No 😂 just fuckin no
It’s dangerous, but it’s a great invention for beginners.
you say no but there's actually plenty of people doing this now
