Great stuff love the scenery

[@RAPINCITE]

Heartstopping heights. (respect to High liners) everywhere. 👍

[@hexxentribunal]

it's so cool to see all this crazy slackline/highline addicted people playing with balancing in the air :)

[@FlipBookWorks]

Kat and Arthur. I have so much respect for you! Legends. ❤️

[@slackmate8225]

thank you Navin . You live in our hearts ❤

[@MikeBourdages]

Made me tear up a little, love the community !)

[@RAPINCITE]

Did it? Your got a big heart bro 👍

[@queenofthebutterflies5212]

WOW! I'm so scared of heights, my hat's tipped to them.

[@megan2878]

Must be almost the ultimate rush!

[@Damonpeters1950]

I don’t like heights so I find watching this highly disturbing;!mainly because of fear of lives being lost- however I fully applaud these individuals not only for their astounding physical agilities but their utilization of the “ human mind”- I still wish they would wear a super lightweight parachute capable of saving their lives without affecting their astonishing balance ability- humans are an incredible evolutionary “ art form”-both mentally and physically-yet highly vulnerable.

First

[@jrculbertson7463]

They must love pain.....

[@RAPINCITE]

It's ironic cos if your love is strong you don't feel pain.

[@RAPINCITE]

You will just keep getting back up
