More Slacklining Enjoyment

Posted by SammyK on Sep 08, 2003 at 06:03 PM | Comments

I got together with Mr. Mercer yesterday and he showed me how to solder and things like that. I can't wait to try out my soldering skills!

Later on that night, the college group kicked off a new thing called The Living Room. It's really cool. After that, some of us went to play volleyball and do some more slacklining. This time, we were not as... how shall I say... "safe" with the tight rope. It started innocent enough by sitting down on the rope. Later on, we tried to stand in the middle of the rope. Then we tried slig-shotting ourselves across the grass. Then Rebekah sat down in the center of the rope and I pulled the rope up and down so that she would bounce, and on one bounce, she came down with the rope on her legs so that when I pulled back up, she landed on her back.

This was just too much fun, so we decided that two people bouncing someone is better than one, so me and William got on either side of the rope with Rebekah in the middle. We went up and down three times and then she jumped, making some air. Later on, William gets even more crazy and STANDS on the rope as we bounce him higher and higher and he jumps making some incredible air. We could have easily broken a few bones and had other bodily injuries, especially since the slackline had a tare in it... I did manage to somehow injure my shoulder. I need to put some BenGay on this beast. It's ok though, William is getting a new slackline soon.
