The man who could fly

[sierra]

Documentry on rock climber dean potter, running on natgeo. He slacklines, solos El CAP ( scary) then uses his "wingsiut" to jump of Mt.Butte in british columbia. This is a awsome one hour show, this guy is fearless.
P.S. his dog ''whisper" and how he oviously loves his dog is a touching sidenote to an otherwise gripping film.

Nice! In a similar vein, Went to Banff FF last night in Portland with a VFTT friend (great fun!) and was mesmerized by Sketchy Andy Lewis and his slack-lining and solo free top-lining antics. If you haven't checked out Banff yet, you should. I may go to one of the Arlington shows next week if I can work it out. Here is a link to Andy's "work" from youtube. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this, Sierra. Will look for it, as adventure of this sort is fascinating to me, even if not something I would dare to do. (Plus I want to see about Whisper.)

A friend and I are going to Banff in Portsmouth Wednesday from Manchester, if anyone is interested in carpooling. This will be the first time I have managed to go, and I'm pretty psyched.
