Anyone feel anything about these commercial links? Pedant 01:54, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)

I was bold and eliminated the least helpful/interesting ones. Stewart Adcock 08:47, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Slackline First?

I added the backflip, line-to-line, as one of the sections. However, if you watch the video closely in the slowed section, he actually bottoms out on the ground when he lands it. Even though, he is on the line, bottoming out on the ground probably helped stabilize the landing. The trick is probably harder and more "pure" if done without using the ground in the landing. Is this enough to invalidate this trick as a "first"? Spolizzano 19:22, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


I got rid of it. It doesn't seem that significant and can't be verified. Here is the text I removed, in case it is verified or deemed significant.

[edit] World records section

This section either needs to be removed or we need add links to photos/sources/write-ups about the events--something to add more credibility to the claims.Spolizzano 21:26, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You tube link removal (1)

2 links removed- No clear indication uploaders have right to the respective footage concerned or are connected with the production entity responsible for it. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:48, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] highlining record

The records section defines highlining but doesn't give an actual record for it. Seems like it should be updated or removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bholley (talkcontribs) 09:06, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
