Hey NS

Last week I was able to capture one of the most insane things ive ever witnessed. My friend Spencer Seabrooke set out to beat the world record freesolo slack line and absolutely shattered it by 9 meters.

Needless to say, it was gut wrenching and ive never seen something so crazy.

If you have a second its most definitely worth your while.

You can probably imagine how I was feeling while shooting this, not even factoring in the flying a drone 200 meters off the ground...

After you see him fall a couple times did you try to convince him it's not worth his life? I've only tried slacklining a couple times, but isn't it pretty easy to fall in a way where it would be easy to not catch yourself?

If my friend fell multiple times at the start of that I would sit them down and try to convince them this is a retarded idea.

Maybe his balls lower his centre of gravity enough where he can't topple sideways.

That was sick. There is something very freeing about putting your life on the line to do something like this.

Awesome! I actually saw this in my FB News Feed before I saw this on NS. Major props to your buddy! Also I was pumped to see this set in BC, my home province.

But there are not even any colored people on welfare fighting in the KFC?



In other news, that was a legit video. I am sure some other outlets will pick that up and get you to a few million youtube views.

amazing! has anyone on here seen the sketchy Andy documentary?
from someone who's into slacklining, the long lines like that are a completely different game (let alone one across a massive drop, something Ive never even attempted nor want to), there's so much power & weight in the line it's often hard to control the wobbles if they start. That made my heart beat fast just watching.
