Paleofitness

I had never heard of "paleofitness" until I read an article on it. It was an interesting concept, but then it hit me that this is essentially what I already do. In fact, all of you have probably done it in one way or form when you were kids. It is essentially just playing with one stipulation: do it outside. And so now, whenever asks me what I'm doing while I'm climbing around in the Fig tree (pictured) in my backyard? Well, I can just say I'm doing some "paleofitness" and sound all official about it. Maybe I can even convince them to join me and play a bit. There aren't enough adult playgrounds.

Finding Your Inner Lemur

My friend Sam and I started slacklining at roughly the same time, and have always encouraged new people to hop on and give it a shot. Naturally people ask what the "trick" is and how to do it. Well, besides the usual tips and tricks, we would always tell them to find their inner lemur. Why? Well, because lemurs would clearly be some of the best slackliners in the animal kingdom. We hold true to this one piece of advice, because we really believe it to be the a huge help. Mind over matter; mind of a lemur.
And when you concur mind over matter, there are no limits left. Here is a shot of Alex at the Humboldt Classic 2011. This kid has a lot of talent and ended up winning the bracket.

These are the Days


Hiking with this girl brings me a new sort of joy that I haven't experienced in a long time. This was taken in Redwood Park in Arcata, CA. I love the soft lighting that the fog brings to everything...like a dream.

More Highline and Longline Goodness

Getting a little off balanced working on a side crow pose while on the 30ft high line.
There were lines rigged ranging in size from 30ft all the way up into the 2 and 3 hundreds.
The 280 footer at the bottom of the slack arena. This bad boy claimed to injuries, a broken hip of one and a broken foot of another friend. This photo is not from the most previous Highline festival because they didn't rig it this time.

I'm Kind of Like These Rocks Right Now...


a little bit tipsy.
