May 9th meetup at Golden Gardens

Thanks to everyone who came out today.  We had a wide variety of lines (including an 80ft from Jim and a triangle line!).  This was the third nice day of the year and it feels as if summer is right around the corner.  We all had a ton of fun, made a few more slackline converts, met up with a few new nwslackliners (from the facebook group), and saw someone we met when Katie and I spent MLK day teaching kids to slackline — the girl was back for the first time and with a brand new line, ready to try it out; by the end of the afternoon she was walking the whole line!

Here are a couple “raw” clips of Jim and I both eating sand after trying some not-beginner-level tricks.  (What I mean by this is: if you’re a beginner, don’t worry, you will NOT fall like this until you start doing really wacky/hard stuff)  [2012 edit: changed the way the site is laid out, can only easily display one video per page now, so here is link to Jim’s video]
