Slacklining


So last year I saw a bunch of guys outside the Geography building walking along and balancing on a line, and I thought "what a bunch of wacky hippies". But after getting hooked on slacklining in September at the VOC's longhike, I got my own. A few days ago it was a sunny day and Sam and his roommate Charles happened to be out with their lines when I went down with Colleen to set up my own. We had a good ol' slackline party. Guest appearances were made by Jordan, Jessica, Tiffany + John, Jessie, and Dani among others. The photos are all of Sam, and there's also a movie. Sam makes this looks so EASY.

If this looks like fun, you may want to get your own slackline. To set yourself up, it's super easy: go to MEC, buy a big sling, 3 caribiners, 15m of 1" webbing. Setting the line up is a matter of preference, with many different approaches that you can look up online.

Oh, and exams are almost over! While studying in Koerner Library I found an excellent mathetical proof relating to studying.
